So sad. And so true. I’m heading to the beach down south for a week, and paulmcmorrow.com is coming with me. Metaphorically speaking. Actually speaking, this here website is staying parked on the internet just where it is (at the mercy of the North Koreans). It just won’t have any new content for a week [...]

Atlantic City, In Cell Phone Pictures
February 23rd, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized
Here are two three-megapixel photos featuring some majestic sights from this past weekend’s trip to the Jersey Shore.
It’s a miniature Chinese food container and a used pregnancy test – on the beach!
Not pictured: Some condoms littering the seawall, several abandoned 40’s of Olde English, poo everywhere, a fishing pier rotting into the ocean, Sonsie, the [...]

Occupy Yourselves
January 15th, 2009 · No Comments · Beer, Music
This web-blog, already limping along under the awful weight of full-time employment, will be taking a long weekend while its author heads to upstate New York for the purpose of sitting in a cabin and drinking some gold medal-winning beers.
In the meantime, busy yourselves with some rock n’ roll music of the independent variety.

Colorado Beercation
January 11th, 2009 · No Comments · Beer
This time last week, I was sitting in DIA, waiting to take the red-eye back to Boston. We’d spent the long weekend skiing, gawking at the Rockies, and drinking tons of great beer. After the jump, you’ll find a recap and a scattershot collection of photos. Read on! Or not.

(Hop) Bombs Away
October 10th, 2008 · No Comments · Beer
Just put my new clip from the October issue of Beer Advocate magazine online. It’s a chat with Richard Norgrove, co-founder and brewmaster of Bear Republic.
In it, he talks about how a community of California brewers got him started, why running a brewery mirrors running a racing team, and how Racer 5 IPA was born [...]
A Lethal Barleywine
October 9th, 2008 · No Comments · Beer
I have an interview coming up with Norwegian brewers Nøgne Ø. They’re part of the Scandinavian brewing revolution that has brought us Ølfabrikken, Ægir, Nørrebro, Närke, HaandBryggeriet, Møllebyen, and old friends Mikkeller.
Since these guys live and make beer halfway around the world, I don’t get to drink their beers everyday. Hence, this week will involve [...]

Cleanliness is Next to Cleanliness is Next to…

Wow. Imploding industry. Desperate demagoguery that’s so ridiculous, it might actually work. It’s all very depressing, no?
Here, then, to lift your spirits and salve your souls, is a funny picture I snapped at the end of a liquid lunch at the Lower Depths on Friday. That’s all.
Of Sarah Palin, Debates, Dunkin’ Donuts, and Deadbeats
October 3rd, 2008 · No Comments · Media, Politics
It’s the morning. Which means Dunkin’s. Which means standing in a line and watching the gerbil wheels whir inside the hosts of Fox and Friends and summoning the restraint to keep from hurling cans of Red Bull at the TV.
The topic of the day was, “Response to the debate: What is the liberal elite saying?” [...]

Epic Sox Rally Fails to Captivate
September 15th, 2008 · No Comments · Media
I snapped this picture from my cell phone during Saturday night’s Sox game. It was during the bottom of the eighth, and after a rousing rendition of Sweet Caroline, and the boys were putting dents in the Wall and slapping go-ahead rollers down the line and making everybody in Fenway lose it.
Everybody except for this [...]
