Now that Fall is here we can start to think about cold-weather cocktails, especially the warming toddy. With its burnt orange color, caramelized sugar rim, and creative name, this modern variation of the classic drink is not your grandmother's nightcap. Made with rum and
Canton Ginger Liquor, it's delicious and surprisingly easy to drink.

A lot of manly men will be attending my
hoedown so I've decided to get a keg of beer. When selecting a keg, choose a versatile, easy-to-drink beer that's neither high- or lowbrow. I've ordered a keg of
Lagunitas, an IPA native to my hometown.

This past weekend might have been the last seriously warm Saturday of the year. To celebrate, I mixed myself a fruity refreshment.
The Buzzy Navel, as it's called, is closely related to a perennial favorite, the
Fuzzy Navel.

Ever since the onset of
Oktoberfest, I've had beer on the brain. Naturally I decided to break out my copy of
The Ultimate Beer Lover's Cookbook. The tome is authored by John Schlimm, a descendant of the
Straub beer empire.
