I love the marathon because watching people run 26 miles gives the other people an excuse to drink in the morning.

Uh oh. The semi-annual “kids in breweries” debate has come up again on social media. I’m going in!

Monday-Friday it’s a battle to get my son up in order to get him to daycare so I can get to work. He wants to sleep well past 7am. Saturday morning - up at 5am ready to play.

It wouldn’t be a beer festival in Wisconsin if the cheese curd line wasn’t one of the longest lines.

I love looking through the Great Taste of the Midwest program and checking off all the breweries I'm going to hit up on Saturday. It's going to be great to be back in Madison!

The ironic thing about kids going to Lollapalooza wearing Space Jam jerseys is that those kids weren't even alive when Space Jam was released.

If your site requires a long password and you don't give the option to view the password while typing...can I ask why?

Hill Farmstead is coming to Chicago. Several beer bars have already announced they’ll have it available. Beer Temple, Beer Cellar in Glen Ellyn, & Olympic Tavern in Rockford will all have it. Sounds like kegs only. Beer Temple taps Thursdays. Can’t speak for the others.

Neighborhood kids came by to clean our trash cans. I admire the hustle. Money well spent.

Each year I do a coin flip bracket. Heads the higher seed goes on, tails the lower seed. Probably my best final four and definitely my best champion ever.

For our first kid I had my leave during the World Cup. For our 2nd kid I had leave during March Madness. Really timed those out well.

Just crushed an entire Publix sub while drinking a local lager on the beach and let me tell you - it doesn’t get much better than this.

Amazon sending me an email saying they found something I might like tracks...I mean they know every purchase I've ever made and they sell everything. Odds are they do have something I might like.

ESPN letting you hear the convo between the replay official and official during reviews is awesome.

Just had the marzen from Church Street Brewing. I’m confident in saying that so far this is a top 3 Oktoberfest beer in Chicago and Chicago suburbs. Still more to try but do not sleep on this one.

As we headed into the zoo parking lot, my son out of nowhere said don’t worry, daddy I won’t take my clothes off at the zoo, and now I am 100% certain he is going to take his clothes off at some point today.

There are flights from Chicago to San Fran the Saturday before the Super Bowl, returning Monday for under $300...round trip. Just saying. Don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but after last night's win...seems like we're Super Bowl bound. 😏

Is it legal for a QB to have that much time in the pocket? Asking for…all Bears fans.

I’d never want dark lagers to be year round. When they come out you em, drink em, enjoy em, and wait for the next release.

I’m a legit candidate for the Bears HC position because I actually bought and played this game.

Give me a brewery with a solid tap list and an excellent lager and I’m happy.
