God created the possibility of whiskey to be distilled and he is a genious for it. I've been absent from my writing because I haven't been drinking. Sorry to the three people that maybe stop by this blog once in a blue moon.

This is kind of a step backwards in my reviews. A few weeks back I wrote a review on Boulder Beer Company's Mojo Risin Double IPA. Well, I wish I had saved a single of it because my roommate came home the other day with Mojo IPA, the normal IPA released by this brewery. I wish I had saved a single because then I could go back and forth. To keep the story short on this one tonight. I gave the Mojo

So I'm not sure if it's because the beer has been sitting in a store awhile, how cold it was, or if it's just the beer. But I have to say, I've found the first Shipyard brew that been questionable to me. Shipyard's Blue Fin Stout doesn't entirely please my palette this time around. I have a feeling it might be better at a lower temperature or even on tap. Although, some say this is better drank

So I went out with some friends last night and we picked up some brews early in the night. I decided to save a few for my day off today. Straight from Abita Springs, Louisiana, I give youTurbodogIt's an English brown style ale, much like a Newcastle. This is the along the darker side of Newcastle with it's dark brown color and reddish accents. I'd take it over Newcastle any day. It has the scent

After today, I need to go back to the store. I'll be out of new beer again. It's like Christmas. Today's tasty beverage: Shipyard Brewing Company's Chamberlain Pale Ale... Yummy First off, I have to say that I believe Shipyard to be my favorite overall brewing company. I love pretty much everything I've ever tried that has come out of this Portland, Maine warehouse brewing company. As for this

Tonight, after a long night at work, I take on the second beer I bought yesterday. Thank god. This is one of those beers that you just REALLY need at the end of work. As I take the first sip, I begin to melt into the couch. Airplane is on the television and that in no way makes me angry. Tonight's Beer of note will be: Boulder Beer Company's Mojo Risin' Double IPAYes. an ipa. You know I'm excited

My haven has been found!!!! At least until I run out of beers in the place to try and review. They recently opened a whole foods market down here and I've been meaning to go, but I finally got a chance today when I was just driving by with nothing to do. There was plenty there that I hadn't tried. I bought three singles just so I would have something to write for the next couple days. Today's

Seriously, I've been having beer issues lately. I can't find a decent micro to save my life. I went to the Walgreens Liquor store near where I work today to grab a six pack, because the only true way to rate a bottled beer is to drink a whole sixer of it and really try to grasp the taste. You gotta eat too, just to cleanse the palate. The main issue I have been having is that every time I think

"Some people never find it, some only pretend, but I just want to live happily ever after every now and then."Saw that quote a minute ago, and it made me think. I love Jimmy Buffett. His beer kinda blows. But I love him. Go Red Sox. I love Soxtober.

A thousand apologies. I have not posted here for far too long. I really had ambition for this blog, but as usual my ambitions are never achieved. Now I'm just writing because I am really bored and I've been having fun just typing away on other forums. I figured I might as well give  another shot. I moved to Florida and I must say, the dudeguyman has not flourished. The women are lovely but the

So I started the night hoping that some of my college friends might be around town and that there would be something to do, but my assumptions were right and there is absolutely nothing to do. I mean I could always go to a bar, but that's never any fun alone. That being said, I decided to head down to the local package store to pick up something new with the hopes I could write a review. I

Welcome to The Modern Machismo!This is the first post of hopefully many firsts on the first attempt at a blog.The Modern Machismo came to The Dude's head in a New England barbeque restaurant a couple weeks back (I know, ten years ago in the southeast, I never would have thought that there was good barbeque in New England) . I, the dude, do have a name but i feel that at the moment I'm going to
