		<title>Little burgers. Big beer.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Inspired by my recent trip to Burger Bar in Las Vegas, and Darcy&#8217;s gift of said Burger Bar cookbook for my birthday, I got busy in the kitchen tonight.
I riffed off the bleu cheese and bacon sliders recipe to create this version &#8212; gorgonzola stuffed sirloin sliders topped with candied smoked applewood bacon. Gotta say [...]]]></description>

		<title>The future face of Happy Hour, Part II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Don&#8217;t tell Harper, but she&#8217;s joining us for Happy Hour at Melton&#8217;s
tonight. If she were old enough, she would appreciate the piney
goodness of the Bridgeport IPA in front of her.
Until she is, I&#8217;ll gladly handle that chore on her behalf.
Cheers!

		<title>A Maximus kinda birthday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
With so many options available to commemorate an occassion as worthy as the 39th anniversary of your birth, my choice was pretty obvious.
I may not be able to choke down Goldschläger shots anymore, but I am up for drinking Maximus, a syrupy, minty hop explosion. Thank you Lagunitas Brewing Company, for helping me make this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Japan meets Egypt in Nevada</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Culture clash, or cultural head-on collision? I&#8217;ll let you be the judge. All I know is when you get four college friends together for a guys&#8217; weekend, you need a beer. Stat. And the bodega offerings weren&#8217;t all that enticing (Ed Hardy lager? REALLY?).
It&#8217;ll get better soon&#8230;for now, we toast to getting the band back [...]]]></description>

		<title>Welcome to Las Vegas!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

It&#8217;s time for another college reunion/guys&#8217; weekend, and this time we&#8217;re doing right &#8212; Las Vegas.
While there will be plenty of buffet eating, card playing and hangover nursing to be had, I&#8217;m looking forward to getting into some west coast beers I can&#8217;t find in the ATL.
To start, Alaskan Amber, as a bright spot during [...]]]></description>

		<title>I think I can survive the snowstorm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Thankfully, I have lots of aluminum-clad liquid morale to choose from to weather our winter storm:
(left to right) Ska Brewing&#8217;s Modus Hoperandi [amazing IPA with loads of Centennial character]; Fat Tire [sure]; Maui Brewing&#8217;s Coconut Porter [don't laugh until you've tried it -- it is a solid choice]; and Oskar Blues&#8217; Gordon [hugely hoppy red [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Full Nelson in a short glass</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;m out for a quick happy hour tonight, and got here a few minutes early to see what new beers are on tap at 5 Seasons westside. Lucky for me Full Nelson is pouring tonight.
It&#8217;s a pale ale/IPA that is apparently brewed with Nelson Sauvin hops &#8212; a new variety from New Zealand that very [...]]]></description>

		<title>The weather outside? Frightful.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Tonight&#8217;s forecast for Chicagoland: snowy, overnight wind gusts up to 40 mph, with a wintry mix heading in overnight. (See the outstretched flags in the background?)
Yuck.
What&#8217;s a man to do? As in judo, use momentum to your advantage. In this case, go to Whole Foods (again), get a  turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce panini [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cold weather beer is here!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

It&#8217;s cold in Chicago this week (40 degrees, but pretty gusty), so tonight&#8217;s beer selection had to be on point to match the conditions.
Founder&#8217;s Backwoods Bastard could be one of those brews.
This is my first Founder&#8217;s, and it&#8217;s an impressive initial impression. As the label states, this oak-aged scotch ale brings loads of flavor (smoke, [...]]]></description>
