One of my fellow bartenders at Wilmington Brew Works made an incredible banana foster stout and another one of us absolutely nailed an extra special bitter (ESB) a few months ago. Another homebrewer I know eyeballed a spicy lemongrass ale that defies classification but was the perfect summer beer. I’m…
Up until these past few months, the vast majority of my beer knowledge, experience, and philosophy came from my years as a homebrewer. It’s a hobby I deeply enjoy. It brings my friends together, gives me something both creative and practical to pursue, and ensures that my life has value…
These days, it's not uncommon for video game developers to continue working on a game after it’s been released. Sometimes that means developers are putting new coats of polish on a real turd of a game. I don’t really care too much about those. What I like more is when…
Guys who like whiskey are constantly being flooded with novelty shot glasses and whiskey stones. The first are usually a little too kitschy to get a fully authentic reception, and the second have dubious results at best. You’re much better off staying away from the shot glasses and stones if…
There are enough whiskey glasses on the market that you could probably use a different one every day of the year and two on federal holidays and still have some you never quite got to. A lot of those glasses also come with various claims about how effective they are…
For many people, the relationship to their home has changed a lot over the past couple of years. Homes now are part restaurant, part home bar, part office, part hang out spot, and very much somewhere that the same playlists are on over and over. The right home gift for…
Buying gifts for watch guys has the same pitfalls as buying gifts for any other guy who’s shown a disproportionate interest in a single thing: Their holidays and birthdays end with them surrounded by a pile of new watches without much in the way of variety. Sure, you could branch…
As Dan Carlin frequently said, there’s something fascinating about being forced to live at the extremes of human endurance. And there’s nothing more extreme than combat. While most people (thankfully) won’t go through combat themselves, you can get a feel for it through the right war books. You could argue…
There are books that every man should read at least once in his life. After all, books can provide many lessons on how to be a better man. You can learn a lot of life lessons from autobiographies in particular. The autobiography format presents an opportunity to learn from someone…
There are a lot of style rules that make practical sense. For example: match the leather of your belt and shoes, wear complementary (but not matching) ties and pocket squares, mix fabric textures, dress to the occasion, and shell out for the highest quality clothing and accessories you can afford.…
Browsing Huckberry’s website is like doing a deep dive into “Buy It For Life” type products — especially when it comes to footwear. The men’s boots section alone is full of options that will likely outlive you no matter how much abuse you try and put them through. Whittling down…
It’s not often that a new whiskey style emerges. It takes balancing different ideals between producers to land on the exact definition, along with proving that the style is, in fact, distinct from what’s already available. New styles can mean confusion for both producers and consumers. But it’s also an…
When the air gets a little crisp, there are few articles of clothing that bring as much comfort as a good sweater. There are two main things to keep in mind when it comes to owning the right sweater: the material (cotton sweaters are common, but also wool and artificial…
According to the great philosopher Ron Swanson, there is no wrong way to consume alcohol. That’s true down to the part where he is immediately proven wrong when he’s presented with the wrong way to consume alcohol. Infused hand lotions aside, when people set out to drink whiskey, they’re generally…
Rum and whiskey are different in a lot of ways. Most obviously, rum is made from sugarcane while whiskey is made from grains. But there are some incredible aged rums out there that even the most dedicated whiskey drinker will fall for. Because for all of the major differences, there…
