bottle opener watch

February 3, 2011

Time and time again we have all found ourselves without a bottle opener in a time of need.  What ever shall we do?  Bottle Opener Belt Buckle you say?  I don’t have any belt loops.  Key chain?  I left my keys at the beach house.

The Answer?

Two styles of watches are offered: The first, pictures to the left, is the “Dark ‘N’ Stormy” and the “Bottoms Up”.

Bottoms Up is a bit more expensive, but lets you choose from a few colors of watch face and band and is a touch more modern style.

The Dark ‘N’ Stormy is my personal choice, a bit cheaper and the Retro styling looks better, but to each their own.  Having an opener at hand at all times while looking this good is worth a look.

Old Chicago Bar and Restaurant

March 11, 2010

Old Chicago will always have a special place in this Beer Friends’ heart.  My home bar – it’s a chain restaurant – is located on the North End of Colorado Springs off the Woodmen Exit. Old Chicago is a typical bar/restaurant, serving deep dish pizza, calzones, salad bars and pasta. What sets Old Chicago apart is the beer list.

Old Chicago is my Holy Grail of drinking.  This is where I learned about beer, about good beer, and the difference between bottles and draft — basically my beer-education.

Greetings Friends of Beer!  This week we take on the Fort Collins Brewery Rocky Mountain IPA.  Rocky Mountain since they’re in Colorado.  I don’t know if it’s the altitude or the snow, but they seems to have a handle on how to blend a damn near perfect IPA.  Check out the video for the details!
