DRINK WITH THE WENCH PRESENTS: The Beer Blogger Interview Series Curious what goes on in the minds of your favorite beer bloggers? Well, The Beer Wench is and she has embarked upon a mission to interview as many beer bloggers that she can — from all over the world. Are you a beer blogger? Do [...]
Today I was extremely excited, humbled and honored to learn that one of my favorite craft brewers in the country, Todd Parker, released a new beer inspired by … well, The Beer Wench (aka me!). The beer was inspired by a Featured Beer Tweeter interview that Todd did with me back in December. One of [...]
Anyone can call themselves an expert on beer. Heck, my personal business cards say Beer Connoisseur in lieu of having a “job title”. But what does that really mean? After all, it is a self-proclaimed title. It would be like calling myself a wine aficionado. Sure I know more about wine than your average person, [...]
So where were we? Ahhh yes. I was about to tell you about my experience at the 2009 Wine Bloggers Conference in the last post … but then I stopped. Because I’m a little tease. If I could sum up the events on WBC 2009 into one picture … … ahhh yes. That says it [...]
This weekend I traveled out to the heart of California’s wine country to attend The Wine Bloggers Conference. Sounds weird, right — since “technically“, I’m not a wine blogger (details, details).

In the past, I brought a notepad with tasting & rating sheets to bars. More often then not, the sheets got ruined and/or [...]
Sadly, tomorrow marks the last official day of the world’s largest folk festival – Oktoberfest. And unfortunately, yet another Oktoberfest has come and gone without me. I vow to make the trek to Munich for this event some day! Until then, I will live vicariously through the stories of others while sipping on some Oktoberfest-bier. [...]
Hops are most commonly known for giving beer its distinctively bitter taste – a characteristic which no other plant is able to provide. Hops is also a natural preservative. What most people don’t know is that there are several “medicinal” uses for the hops plant. The word medicinal is in quotations since most hops remedies [...]
Tonight we are going old school. To this day, one of my all time favorite ska/punk bands is REEL BIG FISH. In fact, I think that I have seen Reel Big Fish in concert more times that any other band or artist that I have seen thus far. Not to mention, they have put on [...]
