Earlier this week, I was deciding on a beer to enjoy as we sat up late one night (or was it early morning?) visiting with a friend. I saw the Starr Hill Cryptical Imperial Stout in the fridge — there’s a fitting nighttime libation! I had first h…

The latest groupthink from the left claims that responsibility for educating children belongs to “the community,” not parents. In a “Lean Forward” propaganda piece, MSN resident Marxist Melissa Harris-Perry makes the claim, “We haven’t had a …



Practice Session

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Apr 17th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

As noted in my previous match report, I seemed to have succumbed to some sloppy shooting recently. In the rush of competition I was not staying focused on the sights completely through the trigger press. As noted also, I was going to fix that issue. So…

Morning Glory Espresso Stout is another entry in Dominion Brewing’s “pinup girl” series. This bottle of stout has been sitting in the fridge tempting me since it arrived. (No pun intended.) I finally had t…

Servant of God Fr. Emil Kapaun was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions while a prisoner of war during the Korean War. The story of this priest and the lives he touched, and saved, is amazing and inspiring. I have been followi…



Starr Hill Amber Ale

I promised recently that I’d share my thoughts on Starr Hill Amber Ale. As a man of my word, I was compelled to sit down with a glass of this beer from the Starr Hill Jambeeree pack recently. Truth be told, I had planned to enjoy a “bigger”…
