Some interesting facts about beer
Guinness, for all its fame, color, and bitterness, is actually a very watery beer. When I drink Guinness, I drink it faster than pretty much any other beer because it's practically like drinking bitter water. If I really want a dark beer with full body, I'll go with something like a Black Butte porter or the Tatonka Stout from BJs (the latter of which has all the bitterness you'd need, but is also very full bodied and sweet at the same time).
- Sam Adams Light (which tastes rather bizarre) has 124 calories, which is very similar to Guinness at 125 calories. So, if you want a lower calorie beer, Guinness might do the trick.

- The practically water Bud Light has 110 calories. The very tasty Skinny Dip from New Belgium, which is not classified as a light beer, also has 110 calories. So if I want a "light" beer in terms of calories, a Skinny Dip is the way to go.

The classic martini glass
It's a shame that the classic martini glass has been co-opted by so many girly drinks these days. I mean, it has gotten to a point where a guy can't even drink a Manhattan without being accused of having a girly drink.
And don't get me started on girly drinks that assume they can be called martinis just because they come in a martini glass.

Root Beer Rum Float
I discovered a new dessert beverage this weekend. We were at a friend’s house for a soiree in celebration of the birthdays of him and his wife, and we had some pizza and a variety of desserts. The dessert we provide was vanilla ice cream and root beer, so we made some root beer floats.
This particular friend has a wide variety of different types of alcohol, so I got the idea in my head that the root beer float could probably be improved by the adition of one of these many beverages. What my eye fell upon, at last, was by no means one of the more exciting products—Bacardi Select Dark Rum.
I must say that this was an incredible drink–the best root beer float I’ve ever had. I highly recommend it. The recipe is pretty simple. Just create a root beer float like you normally would and add rum to taste. Mmmmmmm…
