Looking to mix your beer with Girl Scout Cookies? Here's the best pairings you can make with the two delicious treats!

Park this item in the "too good to be true" column. Apparently, there is a report that says drinking beer may be better for you than running long distances (hmmmm....was this research done by Shultz & Dooley?

We've been seeing "Shiner" brand beers from the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, Texas here in the Mohawk Valley for a couple of years now. And, they've got a winter seasonal brew called "Holiday Cheer". Here's more.

Another winter seasonal beer that's made it's way into the Mohawk Valley is "Snowdrift Vanilla Porter" from the Jacob Leinenkugel Brewery of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. I've tried this one myself, and it's a very pleasant dark brew. Here's what it's all about...

While you're checking out all of the amazing Christmas display in your neighborhood this year, be sure to load up the car and head down the thruway to Rochester to check out this one of a kind display from Genesee Brewing Company. It's a Christmas tree built out of over 300 beer kegs.

When I was a tour guide during my college days at the F.X. Matt Brewery, one of the most asked questions was, "What's the difference between ale and lager"? Let's answer that right now.

To prepare for your "Beer Break At Work" on 96.1 WODZ weekdays at 3:20 p.m., I often do reasearch on the subject. Sometimes I get ideas by watching "Best Bars In America" on the Esquire Network. Actually, I seldom get ideas from this show, but the two guys hosting it are funny.

Once again, my friends at the F.X. Matt Brewing Company have released one of the favorite seasonal beers for winter: Saranac 'Caramel Porter'. Yes it's on the dark side, being a porter, but has a subtle sweetness due to the caramel flavor.

As a former tour guide at the F.X. Matt Brewery, I keep in touch with the brewery and they keep in touch with me. Recently, I received word from my friends at the brewery that they just produced a new TV commercial that will be airing this week.

I'm a sentimental softy when it comes to the holidays, and I love the classic Christmas TV commercials. It always felt like the holiday season when those Clydesdales would be pulling the sleigh on a snowy night in the classic Budweiser TV commercials, but apparently the ponies have been given Christmas off. What?? How could they?

It seems that we American beer drinkers hold beers imported from foreign countries in a higher regard than some of our own brews. But, the president of the Czech Republic thinks U.S. beers are lousy! This is an outrage!

There are so many holiday and winter seasonal beers out there now, I know how a person could try them all. So many beers, so little time. I just learned about a winter warmer from Shipyard Brewing Company called "Prelude Special Ale".
