For Men, By Men: Drinks for a Dudes-Only Baby Shower

May 9, 2013 / Alcohol, Beer, Cocktails

Baby Shower. Two words that can strike fear into the manliest of men. Visions of chocolate filled diapers, squealing women, and decorations reminiscent of the famed pastel factory explosion of ’05 fill your head. It doesn’t have to be that way though. Diaper parties are a sure-fire way to escape even co-ed showers. A diaper party is a dudes-only shower consisting of drinking and guy time. No over-zealous decorations, no crazy party games. Bring the dad-to-be a pack of diapers [...]

January 26, 2013 / Alcohol, Cocktails, Common Man Cocktails, review, video show, Whisky

If you’re looking for a great introduction to see what some single malts can do, Yamazaki is a good start but I don’t see it as a finisher. It’s just a bit too light to be what I look at when I try to find the inner heritage of a single malt–it’s doesn’t take you to any new directions or color outside the lines; it’s your safety whisky.

Forty Creek Canadian Whisky Review

September 24, 2012 / Alcohol, Common Man Cocktails, review, Tasting, video show

Forty Creek brings some nice sweet and spicy notes right in the nose (aroma) that follow through with the sip. Almost a honey/maple syrup like attack and lingering finish along with a full smooth experience from start to stop that’s not overly dominated by oak yet not too sweet.

November 30, 2011 / Accessories, Alcohol, Hangover Prevention

We’ve received a lot of interest over the last year or so with hangover prevention “technology.” I believe every person that wakes up with a nasty headache wishes for the “cure” to their problem.
