The Ride the Coast benefit for the Boys and Girls Club of Santa Ana is one of my favorite rides every year, and it just keeps getting better. I’ve participated for the last three or four years, and the organizers really got it together this time. Two years ago, the ride terminated at a shopping […]

Why do fundraisers come up with names like, “Bikers Against Diabetes”? Sure, it let’s them call it a “B.A.D. Ride”, and say things like, “are you B.A.D. enough?”, but the implication is that there are riders that are for diabetes. But I digress. A friend invited me to join him on the 13th annual B.A.D. […]

It is 1.5 gallons of Coors Light (and probably their other beers) in a plastic container, with its own tapper. I paid 15 bucks at my local Total Wine and took it […]

(Note to TAPS: Put a second screen out on the patio.) I’ve been to TAPS on a couple of occasions, but had not yet sampled their […]

Slightly disappointed by last night’s random pairing, the only thing to do was head out onto the Lido deck and try to do a better job. I selected a Belgium beer to increase the odds of a good choice – Orval Trappist Ale – and a Nicaraguan cigar for the same reason. Tonight the Force […]

California Black Beer I tried, Dale Bros., I really tried. I tried to wrap my mind and taste buds around this beer, but I couldn’t make it work. You see, in concept the California Black Beer is supposed to be a classic American Style Dark Lager, according to the brewery’s website. So, it pours dark […]
