Visiting Asheville NC: Beer City, USA

By on May 1, 2012 in Travel

Some might say that Asheville, North Carolina isn’t a destination that most people would call a perfect place for a romance-filled anniversary trip. Those people would be wrong!  They just don’t know romance like I do (am I right ladies?!?!). It’s proximity to the beautiful Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains, nice weather this time of [...]

The Top 10 Best Designed Bottles of Beer

By on April 16, 2009 in Beer Review

I believe that design is an important part of selling anything. Unless you are a connoisseur the only thing that is influencing you when you are staring at hundreds of bottles of beer is the packaging. It has to stand out enough to make you pick it up and say “Maybe I’ll try this one”. [...]
