The Winking Lizard (Bedford Heights, Ohio)

If you’ve never been to the Winking Lizard (@winkinglizard on Twitter) you’re missing out.  They’ve got some of the best wings in Cleveland, have several locations to choose from and have a TON of beers for your tasting pleasure.  This year, I’m participating in the 2012 World Tour of Beers.  This Petrus was #32 on the year.

WrestleMania 28 was held on April 1st.  And just as the WWE has a tradition of putting on it’s biggest pay per view of the year, Pip and I have started a bit of a tradition of our own… The Beeramid.  And for the 7th time we set out last Sunday night to once again attempt the mighty feat.

I have to give HUGE props to my brother Marko for once again joining us for the event.  Not only is the event itself Herculean in nature, but Mark and his wife had just 5 days prior welcomed their first… Continue reading

The Annex Bar & Grille (Solon, Ohio)

I was reviewing my Beer Shots earlier today and I realized that I’d made a grave mistake by inadvertently omitting the greatest bar in the world.  The Annex is the best “home town bar” you’ll ever run across and it’s my #1 choice when I’m headed out.  In addition to probably the greatest decor ever, you want a great burger?  Good lord… this is the place to be.

WrestleMania XXVIII (28 for you non-Roman numeral folks out there) will take place on April 1, 2012 in Miami, Florida.  For the 7th time, Pip and I (and for the second year in a row, my brother Marko too!) will once again try to “walk that isle” and build… The Beeramid.

Since WWE announced it’s Mania main event the day after last year’s show (Rock vs. John Cena for those not paying attention), I figured we’d better get going and put together rules of engagement for the evening’s festivities.

This year, we’re starting something a bit different.  Moving… Continue reading

Pip sent me this video earlier today… I clicked and had absolutely no idea what to expect.  I quite literally got goose bumps.  THIS video is the essence the college experience at Indiana.  These guys (who apparently have some fame in the Hoosier state) don’t know it, but they’ve completely channeled the 406 Northlane experience.

Please don’t take this to mean that life at IU was all about partying.  There was certainly (more than) a fair share of that, but what this really evokes from my memory is the FUN that we had.  I met some of my best friends… Continue reading

Canal Park Home Of The Akron Aeros (Akron, Ohio)

Not only did I get to take in a ballgame at beautiful Canal Park in Akron the other night, but we also go to watch midget wrestling!  Beer, baseball and midgets.  What more could a guy ask for?

Beer Shots #3 - Eddy & Iggy's (Lakewood, Ohio)

I recently went to a networking event at Eddy & Iggy’s in Lakewood.  I didn’t stay long, but was there long enough for a Summer Shandy from Leinenkugel.  Yummy!

Beer Shots #2 - Der Braumeister (Cleveland, Ohio)

Der Braumeister is a German restaurant, market and “biergarten” located on the west side of Cleveland.  You can find their website here: http://derbraumeister.com/

As I’ve said in the past I’m definitely not what you’d call a “foodie”.  However, going through the pictures I realized that I have a proclivity to take pictures of my beer.  Not sure why I’ve started this, but figured I’d post these here.  Without further fanfare, I give you the initial offering of a new passion I call: Beer Shots (as in pictures… not necessarily shots.  Though come to think of it, those may be in there from time to time too )

Beer Shots #1 - Saxon Pub & Grub (Austin-Bergstrom International Airport - Austin, Texas)

 

I have quite a few friends that I’d consider “foodies”.  They write awesome blogs, share reviews and tend to photograph the food they eat.  I’ve never really considered myself a food photographer and I’m certainly not a foodie with all the crap that I eat.  However… I was going through some recent pics on my phone and I realized that I’ve taken quite a few food pictures over the recent months.

Nachos From BW3

These nachos were free for being the Foursquare mayor at BW3.  I haven’ t been there in forever so I’m not sure I’m the mayor anymore,… Continue reading
