    Lack of Updates

    It happens every so often.  I go periods of time without updating very regularly.  To be honest the past couple weeks I have just been feeling burnt out.  So I took a quasi break.  Yeah I still posted things here and there but not as much as you have probably become accustomed to.

    So this week I will be starting to get back to normal.  A couple reviews this week and this weekend I’ll probably do another video review.  I’ve been holding off on those because my brother and I have been looking into getting an actual camcorder but since that hasn’t happened yet I guess I will go back to the webcam and microphone.

    I’ll also be updating the events calendar this week too with some upcoming events across South Florida.  So be on the look out for those.

    I hope you all are having a good summer thus far!

    Beers Not Bombs

    I tend to come across as a liberal to a lot people.  I’m very opinionated and haven’t been satisfied with the way this country is run or the decisions a lot of people of power make for quite some time.  But there is one thing about me that not many may know and that is my pride in our armed forces.  No I do not support the “wars” we have been involved in but I support the men and women that are over in Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries fighting despite what they may or may not think of all this.

    I come from a family that has military people in it.  My grandfather served proudly in the Marines in World War II after a childhood that he knew he wanted to be in the military.  This including running away at a very young age to try to join the Navy.  Yup it was in his blood.  My cousin serves currently in the Army and is currently finishing up his second tour of Iraq.  To say I am proud of what these two have done would be a huge understatement.

    So when last week I was emailed by by a gentleman from BeersNotBombs.com with the offer of a free bottle opener that is made from a decommissioned nuclear weapon I thought that it was an extremely cool idea.  I graciously accepted and yesterday in the mail my Aviator version of the bottle opener arrived.  I will definitely be using this and enjoying it.

    So if are interested in a really cool bottle opener head over to BeersNotBombs.com and pick one up (they have shirts too).

    Blind Tiki Becomes Due South Brewing; Has Brewery Location

    Some of you in the South Florida beer community may have heard of or even interacted with Mike who was aspiring to open up Blind Tiki Brewing in Delray Beach.  Well due to a number of issues with the city that location fell through.  But last week a location was found and the name of the operation was changed.

    Due South Brewing Company is the new official title for this outfit and Boynton Beach will be there home.  I am very excited about this as Mike is a great guy that will be making great craft beers for the area.  Even more exciting is that the brewery and tasting room are probably just a mile from my house.  Almost literally down the road from me.

    So as more details come in I will report them here.  You should also follow them on their Facebook and Twitter as they are posting updates as well.
