I’m happy to report that SPT is closing in on 2k visits each day, slow but sure. Page views have breached the 3000 mark and suddenly… another normal day happens. With one certain webguy beaming inside. I gotta tellyuz, that although I’m not trying to push the site to gain more readers by going outside [...]

Blue Collar Brew Review – Cold Spring John Henry 3 Lick Spiker Ale
May 13th, 2012 · No Comments · beer, Brew Review, opinion
Friday rolled around and brought with it a cloud of procrastination. Early evening would bring my attending this month’s MASH homebrew club meeting. All I’d need was a cold couple of glasses of some craft brew for afterwards while I composed the Slinks. But Friday, an unexpected guest showed up at the house. It was [...]

A coupla more changes will appear here on the site. And if anyone complains… I’ll change it back. Probably. Maybe not. One issue that sticks in the craw of certain reader concerns the thumbnail pictures which appear in some posts. If the thumbnail image is clicked, you are served with another tiny thumbnail image in [...]

Blue Collar Brew Review – Three Floyds Dark Lord Russian Imperial Stout
May 5th, 2012 · 2 Comments · beer, Brew Review, opinion
All week long and still relatively fresh from the Dark Lord Day experience, I had been mulling around in my head about which beer to review for Saturday night. There were a couple at the Morris Beer Store that I wanted to try and I was sure I could pick up a contender from the [...]

My buddy, Jeff, which I’ve known for 27 years or so, went home from from Dark Lord Day with a tresure trove of beer. Check out what he brought home. That Jeff is one lucky SOB!

DARK LORD DAY 2012

In lieu of the regular Brew Review this weekend, I decided to sit down and sip some Sam Adams Cinder Bock Rauch Bock while I edited pictures from today’s Dark Lord event. I’d like to share this unique experience that is Dark Lord Day. Hey. It’s still about beer. Perhaps the most popular and exclusive [...]

Blue Collar Brew Review – Schlafly Irish-Style Extra Stout
April 22nd, 2012 · 2 Comments · beer, Brew Review, opinion
The usual beer run on Friday would be a short one. I had already decided on which beer to imbibe for the Saturday night review, and I already had it in my possession at home. The beer run would be a quick visitation to the beloved Morris Beer Store for an afterwork ration of Ommegang [...]

Yes, they’re all still there waiting for someone to stumble across them. Readership has grown a bit over the last month and there’s a seemingly [...]

Blue Collar Brew Review – Dogfish Head Robert Johnson’s Hellhound On My Ale
April 14th, 2012 · No Comments · beer, Brew Review, opinion
The weekend’s beer run found me back at the Four Seasons Beer Store, looking for something especially especial. I had the RateBeer app on my iPod touch and some money in my jeans. The plan was to buy a beer for review and have a little left over to get something extra for the beer [...]

The weeks and the seasons roll on. SPT rolls on as well. Readership is cresting at 1200 per day, but another lull is in the future I’m sure. Facebook folks who have ‘liked’ us have topped the big 100 mark. We are nowhere near the 1000 mark such as MacDailyNews, but I’ve often wondered… why [...]

Blue Collar Brew Review – Orval Trappist Ale
April 8th, 2012 · No Comments · beer, Brew Review, opinion
This week’s beer run took me to the Morris Beer Store once again as it was payday week and I had been eyeing some bottles of what I understood to be some very special beer. I coasted into my usual parking spot in the fire lane right near the front door and strode inside. Marge [...]
