Music Review: Spoon – Transference

Music Review:  Spoon – Transference

Spoon’s latest album Transference has everything I like about Spoon. It features Britt Daniel’s cool vocals, and the band’s pop infused indie rock sound with sometimes funky dance beats.  The question it seems is what is this album all about? Meriam-Webster defines transference as “the redirection of feelings and desires [Continue]

Beer Review: Fling Pale Ale from Pyramid Breweries

Beer Review:  Fling Pale Ale from Pyramid Breweries

Who cares if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow or not?  Spring has arrived and its liquid gold with a thin head and fine little bubbles that tickle my taste buds.  Spring is bottled by the Pyramid Breweries in the form of their Fling™ Pale Ale. The Spring Fling is labeled as a pale ale but [Continue]

Beer Review: Goose Island Harvest Ale

Beer Review:  Goose Island Harvest Ale

Whenever I travel, I like to sample the local brews. In Chicago, it seems that the predominant local beer is brewed by Goose Island brewery. I reviewed their Christmas Ale a few years ago, and since then I haven't been pining for other Goose Island brews. In Chicago though, there is no avoiding it. So with an open mind, I downed some Goose [Continue]

Ditka’s Chicago

Ditka’s Chicago

Coach Ditka sat at the table next to our booth. He was immediately mobbed by fans. He was completely gracious. He signed autographs, and posed for pictures for all who asked. I was sorry we did not have our camera. The staff kept people away from the Coach while he ate, but he allowed visitors between courses. I was really impressed. I [Continue]

Wild Game Dinner II (or Please Don’t Eat the Turtle )

Wild Game Dinner II (or Please Don’t Eat the Turtle )

Last year I read in the BB&B about an adventure the boys had with something called "wild game night." That name conjured up images of a rustic sportsman's club, with low, beamed ceilings, smoke-filled rooms, and burly men in plaid shirts. Well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad. This year I accompanied the BB&B crew and friends on their second annual trip to [Continue]

Music Review: Mike Filipek – Come On In!

Music Review:  Mike Filipek – Come On In!

In order to expand the boundaries of pop-rock, popularity is usually required. Mike Filipek and his debut CD, Come On In!, are worthy of the admiration and jubilation of the music hungry masses. Consequently, if Mike can get the exposure he deserves and desires, he may just expand the pop-rock genré, and Big Beef and Beer will be proud to say [Continue]

Beer Review: A Snowball’s Chance

Beer Review:  A Snowball’s Chance

Our winter brewfest continues. This week, I chose a beer that I believed didn't have a snowball's chance of being a good beer. It even said so on the label. Snowball's Chance Winter Ale by the Blue Ridge division of the Frederick Brewery however, has more than a snowball's chance of being a good beer. It is a suprisingly pleasant winter brew... [Continue]
