You’re part of enjoying an ice cold can or pint of beer from Tin Man Brewery on Evansville’s west side is simple, pop the top, pull it up to your mouth, and drink. What it takes to get that liquid gold into that can or glass is a bit more complicated. If you know anything [...]

Ryan's Redd's Apple Ale Review – A Crisp Twist on Traditional Beer

Ryan O'Bryan — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 05:00:08 +0000

I'm not necessarily what you would call a connoisseur of beer. I like beer quite a bit, but I generally stick to your everyday lagers, light beers, or whatever happens to be on sale when the mood strikes to enjoy an ice cold mix of hops and barley. With that said, I'm open to trying new things, and from time to time will grab a six pack of microbrew, or craft beer, as in the case with Redd's Apple Ale.

What is a Bierstube?

Ryan O'Bryan — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 23:22:10 +0000

You know the weather in Evansville is getting warmer when you start hearing about upcoming bierstubes. But what the heck is a “bierstube” anyway? Having German blood coursing through my veins courtesy of my Mom’s side of the family (we’re part of the famed Steinkamp / Nurrenburn clan on Evansville’s west side), I always enjoy [...]

Tin Man Brewing Co. – A True Class Act for Evansville [Review]

Mike Adams — Sun, 06 Jan 2013 23:38:09 +0000

Let’s just get this out of the way right now: it is a beautiful thing when someone rises up with enough guts and vision to not only bring their labor of love to fruition, but in seeing it through, they give something positive back to a community of people – or even the world. For [...]

Scientists Discover Gene Responsible for Binge Drinking

Donald Deane — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 00:30:46 +0000

We’ve always thought that binge drinking was just part of being a dumb teenager, but scientists say they’ve recently discovered a gene which could account for the risky behavior. Researchers at the Institute of Psychiatry at King’s College London say a mutant version of the RASGRF2 gene (whatever that is) makes the brain more sensitive [...]

Beer Muscles Are a Real Thing Now, Says Science

Mike Adams — Sun, 30 Sep 2012 02:18:57 +0000

There have been countless naysayers throughout the years guilty of spewing out health-nut, anti-beer propaganda in hopes of convincing a society of two-fisted boozehounds that a drinker’s lifestyle is detrimental to his health.

However, an ambitious and heroic team of Japanese scientists has recently concluded that all of that “beer is bad for you” business is for feeble-bodied weaklings, as their research indicates that a steady regimen of good old-fashioned beer drinking can actually keep muscles strong.

'R2-DBrew' Keg May Be the Best Invention Since Beer Itself [VIDEO]

Ryan O'Bryan — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 07:25:21 +0000

Drunk before you know it, you will be. 26-year-old Barton Gilley is graduate of LSU and apparently a big fan of Star Wars. During a tailgate party before a home game two years ago, a buddy jokingly suggested the idea of building a beer dispenser that resembled everyone’s favorite voice-less droid. The intriguing idea stuck [...]

Columbian Beer Makers Fight for the Right to Rip Off The Simpsons

Mike Adams — Sun, 26 Aug 2012 17:15:58 +0000

What started out as a novel idea has turned into a corporate tug of war, as two Columbian brothers are now deep in the trenches of a legal battle with 20th Century Fox for the right to brew beer inspired by the hit television series ‘The Simpsons.’ The original idea for the beer was a [...]

The Rob's Philadelphia Food Favorites

The Rob — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 15:29:27 +0000

I have finally returned from my vacation home in Philadelphia! This morning you may have heard that my mother had given Kat Mykals and Big Boy some Philadelphia-themed gifts. I wanted to take a moment and explain what those gifts are because I’m sure many people that have never been to Philadelphia don’t understand. Additionally, [...]

Australian Beer Commercial May Be One of the Best Ever [VIDEO]

Ryan O'Bryan — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 07:00:53 +0000

I’ve never heard of Hahn Super Dry, but after watching this award-winning commercial, I’m willing to give it a try. Truth be told, I’m willing to try pretty much anything with barley and hops in it. The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity (the same Cannes famous for the annual film festival), bills itself as [...]

Crazy Beer Pong Trick Shots [VIDEO]

Ryan O'Bryan — Fri, 22 Jun 2012 18:00:36 +0000

Ahhhh to be in college again. The days where you can blow off class and spend the day perfecting beer pong trick shots so you can film them for your internet video. I don’t know how these guys pull this off. If there’s any trick editing happening, it’s done so well, you can’t tell. By [...]

Big Boy Finds a New Favorite Beer!

Big Boy — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 13:36:10 +0000

So I was hanging out with my roommate the other night and he was telling me about a lemon flavored beer that he bought. My first reaction was "Eww!” but then he handed me one and told me that I needed to to try it – and I never turn down a free beer!

It's called Summer Shandy - and once I saw the bottle I not only realized that I had seen it before, but I knew it was a popular beer

The Most Awesome Ways to Hand Someone a Beer [VIDEO]

Kat Mykals — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 03:26:11 +0000

I have never seen anyone serve up a beer to someone like this! There is nothing better than sitting in the shade about 7 O’clock, after a long day of work, and having a cold beer while I catch up on the day with my husband. It is honestly one of my favorite times of [...]

Ten Strong Beers to Get You Started on an Indiana Summer

Mike Adams — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 20:11:07 +0000

If you are like me, you want the most buzz for the buck. Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to achieve this while drinking domestic beers. Most domestics have an average ABV (alcohol by volume) somewhere around 4.2 – 5.5 percent, while some specialty domestic products can have up to 6 percent. Yet, for the serious [...]

Chick Beer, A Beer for the Ladies – [POLL]

Big Boy — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 22:00:26 +0000

Step aside guys. there is a new beer out and it is just for the ladies. Chick beer only has about 97 calories and 3.5 carbs. It should appeal to women that are watching their figure and the marketing is pretty fancy if you ask me. It looks very girly. Indiana is 1 of 3 [...]

Drink Up! Studies Show Beer Has Some Health Benefits

Ryan O'Bryan — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 21:34:27 +0000

This probably goes without saying, but I like beer. I don't drink it everyday nor can my body recuperate from a long Friday or Saturday night of drinking more than my fair share like it could say 5-10 years ago. But now it turns out, not only will it calm your nerves or make you think that you're the most hilarious person in the room (depending on how much you decide to "enjoy"), it may help you live longer.

Grandmothers Shotgun Beer

The Rob — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 11:57:19 +0000

With as much complaining as people on facebook have been doing about their new site design, thankfully I still have friends that will post videos like this to make my day. Here's a video of two grandmothers shotgunning beers at a college football tailgate:
