Hofbrauhaus: oans, zwoa, g’suffa!

July 29th, 2009

Hofbrauhaus is a last destination for a day or night of beer drinking.  It’s not that it is open late or anything, it’s that HB is often times the last place you’ll remember.  Even those of us who steer away from shots are not immune to deep blackouts.  Sticking to beer can be a challenge [...]

Really? Corona?

June 19th, 2009

Undoubtedly many of you are on facebook.  We are.  Our top five favorite beers were pretty obscure and pretentious.   That’s just how we roll.  It’s not that we only drink the fancy stuff (just look at our MMCD posts), it’s just that our favorites happen to be on a higher shelf than our [...]

It’s been awhile but we’re offering up our Monday confessional past the break.  Let us know what beers you’ve been drinking in the comments.

Danny - I fell victim to the infamous Bell’s and Wells special last night at the Harlem Shakes/Passion Pit show.  I also had a few Bud Lights at a street festival (I [...]

Natty Ice broke our site.

June 4th, 2009

Classy beers get classy pictures… and vice versa.
 
Beer enthusiasm often has humble beginnings.  Many of us start our lives in beer prior to the celebrations of our twenty-first birthdays.  It is not uncommon to get a running start to the legal starting line beginning in our late teens, hitting twenty one with a full tolerance [...]

Drinking to the movies.

May 8th, 2009

Twitter friends @OttsD and @beervikingrules recommend Strange Brew for your drinking and viewing experience.
Allow us to again skew sophomoric and steer away from the world of craft and Belgian beers and veer instead into the world of drinking for effect. Though we have discussed video games at length in the past, we have overlooked a [...]

Another pointless beer pong related killing.

May 6th, 2009

The Rough Draft crime desk sees its share of odd DUIs and celebrities making some drinking related faux pas, but rarely do we get hard hitting homicide news.  It’s not because people don’t kill people when they’re drunk, because people do the shit out of that; it’s just that it’s rarely worth your infotainment dollar.
In the [...]

It’s about time we wrote up Delirium

April 30th, 2009

For many people the gateway drug into serious Belgian beer addiction is Delirium.  We propose that its wide distribution and flashy packaging are to blame for its ability to lure in unsuspecting domestic drinkers.  Once the taste of this beautiful beer reaches the taste buds of the uninitiated there is a 45% conversion rate from [...]

Beer is fuel…

April 28th, 2009

Sometimes scouring the internet for beer news can be mind numbing, painful work. That’s why we thought we could be helpful and important in the life of the beer enthusiast as a light hearted beer blog. Other times there just isn’t anything out there to talk about outside of industry events and specific beer reviews. [...]

Magic Hat #9 trips us up.

April 23rd, 2009

[Ed. Note: the contributing staff of Rough Draft has never had such different feelings about a beer or style.  In cases such as this we may maintain the 'we' terminology and dissenting opinions may find their way into the comments.  If that gets confusing, we'll adjust...]
Rough Draft was due for a little research meaning it was time to [...]
