Mon, 13 Nov 2000 21:57:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Teykaerts - First off, let me admit to you that I am quite buzzed as my suddenly clumsy digits attempt in vain to strike the right kyes. The reason for my mildly inebriated state is not rampant alcoholism, despite what that damn intervention said. No gentle...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Teykaerts - One great thing about beer (and there are many) is that many breweries produce small batches of beers tailored specifically to the season. These beers will typically be available only for 2-3 months, but often sell out quickly due to rapid beer hounds...

Wed, 18 Oct 2000 00:50:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Teykaerts - Don't worry folks, my horrible title is a far as my descent into flowery poetry goes. In case you did recognize it, that is "humorous" adjustment to a littel poem that I wrote a few years back. You have probably read it, although I published...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Teykaerts - Let's face it: naming their beer "Grolsch" may not have been the smartest move that this brewery could have made. I mean honestly, when you are perusing the beer aisle and you run across the name "Grolsch," does it make you smile and...
