MMCD: Intensive Care Edition

May 11th, 2009

It was an eventful weekend for us and as a result the Monday Morning Coming Down post should be above par this week.  But first, our top story:  Jeff is hurt…  Here’s his brave report.
Jeff- I have scratched my cornea trying to put in my contact. I am going to bow out of MMCD this week and I am [...]

MMCD: Opening Day Edition

April 6th, 2009

Clearly the Rough Draft contributing staff is not of a single mind on sporting events. Where some of us could care less for Wrestlemania, others do not care about baseball. The NCAA Men’s basketball championship doesn’t seem to be catching any of our attentions. What are you excited for? What beers are you pairing with [...]

Luke, I Am Your Porter

March 27th, 2009

Imagine a world with no indie films, no restaurants that weren’t part of a chain, and no businesses that weren’t owned by a corporate conglomerate. Talk about a crap hole. Unfortunately, as folks across the country sacrifice originality for speed and ease, we’re losing more of what makes us all different. The Empire is crushing [...]

Dogfish Head 12-pack! Three durations in one box.

March 10th, 2009

We’re big fans of Dogfish Head. Go ahead and search the site and you’ll see. We are almost always tagging our Monday Morning Coming Down posts with the brewery’s name and we’re almost always praising them (you fooled us with the Chicory Stout, but then again we hate chicory so maybe it was our fault).
The [...]

hot.
VERSUS

hot.
Since you likely know the drill at this point we’ll just skip the usual explanation and ask if you prefer It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia or the Pamela Anderson/Tim Allen/Jonathon Taylor Thomas (JTT) vehicle, Home Improvement. Let us know the beers that improved/ruined your weekend in the comments.

Jeff- Friday evening I had a Flying Dog [...]

Jeff - Friday the Mrs. and I went out with two friends to an eating establishment and [...]

Ace Of Base Of Spades and other fantastic mash-ups!

January 28th, 2009

(Edit:  Girl Talk mash-up video added and awesome)
Who doesn’t like a good mash-up? Danger Mouse got noticed after mashing Jay-Z lyrics with music from the Beatles White Album. Some guy named Reese put peanut butter and chocolate together and created one of America’s favorite candies. Hell, some weirdos even eat corn and lima beans together. [...]

The Pumpkin King Was a Drunk

October 26th, 2008

Here at Rough Draft we often spend the night before Thanksgiving out at the bars reminiscing with friends who are home for the holiday. It’s all too easy to find yourself, closing time come and gone, stumbling through a doorway, fated to wake in a few short hours to the commotion of family, football, and [...]
