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 [...]

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.

When it comes to jobs, we’re the sort who could find fulfillment in becoming street artists (the not-entirely-legal kind), musicians, professional gamers, and maybe even take up something in the science fields. We’re not, however, particularly political. We don’t covet the presidency and, while we pay our taxes, we don’t feel bad about our middling [...]

Craft brewing has been on the rise since laws banning home brewing were repealed in 1978. Since that time, America has seen its number of breweries sky rocket. We’ve also seen the quality of the beers offered shoot through the roof. Unfortunately, despite the quality and variety of brews available, beer still takes a backseat [...]

If you’re like us, you’ll be spending much of next Tuesday downing beers at a bar and making boastful claims about how your ancestors fought the English, made it through the potato famine, and then invented Lucky Charms. Also, if you’re like us, you have little to no Irish lineage (25% whoooop!) and just like [...]

Have you ever noticed how McDonald’s Coca-Cola tastes a little bit different than other places fountain Coke? That’s because McDonald’s supposedly spends a lot of money making sure their Coke tastes as good as possible in every single store. Sometimes we wonder if the same care is taken with beer. There’s a bar in our [...]

We received a tip to check out this interesting article from Reason Online, a Libertarian publication and website. We try not to be overly political because we’re not that sort of site, but the history of home brew laws since prohibition are rather interesting.

Here’s an interesting article from the Dallas News on the atmosphere of Irish pubs. We learned a few new things reading it. For example, we weren’t aware that pubs only stay open till about 11:30 PM. We almost ate our hands off just reading the part about the pub menus. Thankfully it was almost lunch [...]

An article over at escapistmagazine.com has broached a subject near and dear to our hearts. The article is a brief discussion on how video games have made it into our bars even in their earliest forms. One of the more interesting items in the article is that prior to it’s release Pong was [...]
