Sam Adams Alpine Spring

Posted on January 28, 2012 by Silvio

Shiner Holiday Cheer

Posted on December 24, 2011 by Silvio

Fantasy football has made me fortune’s fool. I’m in a super-competitive league with lots of good friends and coworkers that I’ve won twice in the past four years. I managed to go 11-2 this season, and having been in first place all season while assembling … Continue reading →

Stone Brewing Co. Japanese Green Tea IPA

Posted on November 26, 2011 by Silvio

Ovila Saison

Posted on November 19, 2011 by Silvio

One of my favorite things to do is hike with my dog, and pretty much every weekend I’m out for a hike in the foothills west and north of D.C. Today, I checked out Sugarloaf Mountain in Maryland, but since it was the … Continue reading →
