For those of you who have always wanted to try real absinthe, but haven't wanted to import it from France, now's your chance. Vin Art Wines will be offering tastes of the green fairy this Saturday from 1 to 5 pm. Not only can you pick up a bottle of this s...

My brother got me to try this beer that his Austrian friend Ingo brought over from Germany, and I have to say, it's pretty good. Listen to the audio review for the full scoop. Originally posted on Tuesday, 2006-05-16 at 21:10:37.

What a blast I had on St. Patrick's Day. It started off with breakfast at the Old Triangle. I got there at 07h55, and the place was already packed. Brent joined me soon after that, and we sat down for a bite. Being as crowded as it was, it took a while...

Fun times had by all. Even Matt the Pimp. Originally posted on Wednesday, 2006-02-22 at 09:32:30.

Yay! It's been 4 years since Spine.cx was brought up in this format of articles and comments and such. How many of you remember when spine.cx looked like this? For a short time, it looked like this. But most of you probably remember spine.cx when it was ...

I do not understand what the owners of Club 5171 (formerly Merrill's) are doing with that once-great bar. It all started when they closed the place for three weeks for renovations... ..And then opened again as the exact same fucking place. Since then, it ...

Fuck that. I'm not even going to get started on what I think of unions, but I know that I absolutely love the private liquor stores. Knowing that they're not unionized just makes me love them even more. This summer, I shall endevour to shop exclusively ...

I just wanted to say thanks to all the people who brought with them birthday gifts for me on Saturday night. I totally didn't ask for or expect them, so it was even nicer to get something. I ended up with two quarts (or 26'ers for you newfs) of liquor (Crown...

I visited Bishops Cellar today with my 10% off coupon from The Coast. Got a whole bunch of stuff I've never tried before. Right now, I'm drinking Jalapeno Beer by Garrison. It smells like the nachos from Empire theatres. Even the crappy cheese; it's amaz...

Oh my. Alcohol is evil. I've suspected it for some time, but now my hypothesis has been confirmed. I just can't seem to handle it like I used to. Drinking the measuring cup full of rum didn't help, I'm sure. Ray, Jeanine and I had planned to go skiing i...

So, yeah, my party happened on Saturday night. I'm still working on getting the webcam's photos turned into some kind of stop-motion video. It worked pretty well while it was light out, but after that the pictures just turned out black. Bummer. Anyway, t...

Friday was Jeanine's birthday, so a bunch of people went out for drinks and eats at Mexicali Rosa's. Unfortunately, I accidentally ordered their 'contest food', simply because it was a good deal. After finding out that I could get my picture on the wall and ...

My 28th birthday is on the 1st of June. Since that's a Tuesday, I'm throwing a party the following Saturday, the 5th of June. Bring meat to barbeque, and booze to imbibe. If you don't know where I live, drop me an email. It's been a long time (last Augus...

Recently, some beers have made me curious. Some because they have no carbs, and some because they're used in bizarre party games. I decided to try them both. There are many low or no-carb beers out there now, and I had to pick one, so I chose Sleeman's Cl...

Hold on just a minute, this isn’t something I’m offering to the general public; rather, it’s something I have just experienced. Some friends and I were at the Granite Brewery on Barrington Street and started to eat supper, continued drinking beer, and decided...

Read a story in the Daily News today that said the president of Labatt Breweries of Canada wants to position Keith's in a "splashy marketing campaign" that could make it the most popular brand in the country. It goes on to say how Keith's will always be brewe...

Good times were had by all this past Friday night at the Halifax Curling Club...well, the people who can remember Friday night at least. I managed to have my share of fun while spending only about $8 on coke and ginger ale by bringing a handy flask of rum wit...

I don't know how many of you Spine Dorks are rum drinkers, but I surely am. Until recently, I thought Captain Morgan Deluxe was just about the best dark rum out there...that is until I discovered Captain Morgan Private Stock. It only comes in 750 mL bottle...

Photos from the kick-ass party I was at on the weekend past. There was much beer. I think I drank most of it, or at least that's the way it felt. I took some photos. There were a number of people there I didn't know, which was cool. Too many parties I g...

So, as the title of this article suggests, this weekend, I was camping in the rain and experienced the full magnitude of suck. Thankfully, I was sleeping in the Element and I stayed quite dry -- at least while I slept. Friday night we sat and drank around ...
