My visit to Denver coincided with a beer dinner held at Duo Restaurant, a small restaurant in the Highlands section of the city. I attended the dinner with Josh Mishell from Flying Dog Brewery. Josh also writes the BeerDinners.com blog so I knew I was …

New Beers This Week

By From http://kybecca.blogspot.com/ • Jun 20th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

So this week I yet again have brought in a British beer aged in oak casks. This one is by J.W. Lees brewery in Manchester, the very same one that brought us the Harvest Ale aged in Sherry that I raved about a while back. This time, it’s the 2007 Harvest Ale aged in Calvados casks. Calvados is a region in Normandy that makes apple brandy. You can really taste the apple brandy flavor in the beer, too. As always with J.W. Lees


Next is a Bohemian Pilsner, the Czech Rebel. Some of you may recall that we used to carry Czechvar as our flagship bohemian pilsner, but unfortunately there is a dispute between the distributor and Anheuser-Busch, who recently bought the import rights to it. Luckily we found this nice little pilsner for fans of Czech lagers.

For the uninitiated, when loan officers speak about the price of a loan, they are talking about the interest rate, and any points that may be charged. We already know that credit scores affect whether or not a buyer will qualify for a loan, but they may also determine the price of the loan.
A buyer […]

And people thinks ads today are bad. At least a little cleavage never killed anybody.

Why Barack Obama shouldn’t be President: Make sure you read Osama bin Laden his Miranda rights!

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Jun 20th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Read every line of this stupidty from The Examiner:
Barack Obama’s foreign policy advisers said Tuesday that Osama bin Laden, if captured, should be allowed to appeal his case to U.S. civilian courts, a privilege opposed by John McCain.
Responding to questions from The Examiner, Sen. John Kerry and former White House counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke said […]
