"Beer Banned From Dwile Flonking Championship"
Posted by on Tuesday, June 1, 2010 in - 1 comment
That is what the headline read. I heard it from Paul and thought "it's a joke, right?" • No joke. See, there are things that don't go with beer like driving a car and then there are things that not only go with beer but are only really about the beer - dwile flonking is one of them. But not …
PGP 6.0: London Skittles Mania Strikes Nation
Posted by on Sunday, April 25, 2010 in - 1 comment
Not really. Not really at all. But as I am fascinated by the idea of London Skittles I can dream. I am fascinated by skittles, I think, as a pub game primarily because of the act of throwing a fairly heavy weight accompanies the act of drinking beer. We don't do that much anymore. We really don't …
When Does Beer "Tasting" Simply Go Too Far?
Posted by on Sunday, March 21, 2010 in - 6 comments
Jay Brooks has written a thoughtful post about his impressions after a barley wine tasting session that takes extreme beer in another dimension altogether: • It’s a simple, if punishing format, where a new beer is opened roughly every five minutes over a period of several hours... Last year …
Have The Olympics Turned Me Off Beer Evangelizing?
Posted by on Tuesday, February 9, 2010 in - 4 comments
While I think Pete makes a very good point about most people really not caring much about the quality or even qualities of what they drink, the news out of Vancouver has me wondering about whether I might ever go out to drink with Canadians ever again: • If there ever was a reason for …
PGP 5.0: Once There Was A Pub Game In My Town...
Posted by on Monday, March 30, 2009 in - 2 comments
So, aside from the fact that I was not a contestant in the Wellie Boot Chuck and that I walked by the Wellie Boot Chuck to actually go to the pub, I thought the Wellie Boot Chuck at one of my favorite pubs on the planet went rather well. See, I was under the impression that the boot chucking was …
And The Headline Read "Pub To Host Sausage Meet"
Posted by on Wednesday, February 18, 2009 in - 3 comments
I can't decide whether this is better than the Beer and Pie Festival or not that I wrote about almost a year ago. Is it because it is February? Is it because there are those (we go nameless) who consider beer an appropriate vegetable course when in the presence of beer or sausage or BBQ or any …
PGP 4.0: Is There An Anti-Pub Game Movement?
Posted by on Wednesday, February 11, 2009 in - 3 comments
I think the Pub Game Project is the only beer related movement which has taken off with less haste than Lew's recently reinvigorated Session Beer Project, now with its own blog and Facebook group. No time for social networking with the PGP as the only digital handiwork it should ever give rise to …
The Pub Game Project: Pub Conkers!
Posted by on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 in - 1 comment
I think I only know about conkers because I am the child of immigrants. When I was little, grandpa came over from Scotland and was quite pleased to see that the schoolyard had a chestnut tree. Away he went picking up the windfalls and - all personal ethics and the Conkers Association rules being …
The Sort Of Pub I Wish I Lived Near
Posted by on Thursday, August 14, 2008 in - 6 comments
I have to admit that I am not exactly a guy with a regular pub. Frankly, when I head to the States on holiday with our pals like I will tomorrow for ten days, I am more likely to have a favorite bar I go to regularly than I would have here. But none are like the pub mentioned at the BBC today … read more »
One More Reason Not To Worry So Much About Beer Pong
Posted by on Sunday, August 3, 2008 in - 1 comment
That is called "The Octabong" and I am still not sure whether the announcement of its creation on a website called "Inventorspot" is a joke or not. Sort of seems like the excess of that five blade disposable razor - do we really need that many people bonging beer at one time together? But, as with …
