Today is Oberon Day 2013...
It's not quite as good as it used to be in my opinion, but it's kind of a big thing up here in Michigan and elsewhere too. To me it's the true sign of Spring. Screw the temperature, flowers, and that stupid ground hog... The release of the new years batch of Oberon is the true first day of Spring. ;-) Happy Oberon Day,…

"Draft Beer Magazine" Beer Bracket 2013
This is a fun thing to do that will help out the charity of the winning beer/brewery. It's obviously just a popularity contest as most (including myself) have not had anywhere near all of the choices in the bracket, but if I did not have the beer I just chose by brewery, (or state of brewery "Come on Michigan!") and if I…

Anyone have Endomondo synced to MFP?
I have MFP and my Endomondo apps connected and Endomondo is almost always higher than MFP when it comes to calories burned for a workout (walking, running, hiking, etc...) Like for walking it is off by a couple hundred calories for a 3.5 mph walk for an hour or so. Now the 3.5 mph walk (brisk pace) on MFP is in the 400…

What's your favorite style of beer?
I love to try and explore all styles of beer and if I go to a new brewery I will most definitely get a sampler / flight and access their products, but once I'm ready to order a full pint I almost always go for an IPA or maybe a strong Pale Ale, also like Rye's and Scotch Ales. How bout you? What's your favorite style?

Michigan's Biggest Beer Fest
It's today! Wish me luck... I'm going to be serving some of the time, but will be wandering around the rest of the time, tasting the many nectars of the gods. I'm going to try to actually just taste and not consume as much as I can to keep the calorie count down, but I'm not hopeful. ;-) It's ok though. It will be worth…

It's Friday afternoon. there's two feet of snow outside, but the sun is shining... I'm going to get out of here shortly and start my weekend, I'm going to go home, change, go to gym and rack up some serious calories to drink back. Then I'm going down to the local pub and have some empty calories, listen to some live music,…

Extreme Eating or... (Food for thought)
Thought it would be fun to post this up: http://cspinet.org/new/pdf/extreme_eating_2013.pdf How many of these extreme meals have you had in the past. I am guilty of at least 3 of them. It's no wonder I always feel slow and sluggish after leaving any restaurant that has dishes of this caliber that I have unwisely partaken…
