1 down, 159 to go …

Lots of beer, no women. The Tap House, downtow Seattle. Pass one round …

Road Trip Worthy: Big Jake’s Cattle Company, Van Buren, AR

This might not even be the best steak around Fort Smith, Arkansas, but this place is the perfect place to grab a bite and a beer after a long drive.   Years ago, I left a piece of my heart here … nuff said.
Also check out the Electric Cowboy.  It might be the best bar in [...]

500 pushups!

You may have caught some moments on the timelapse video where I appear to be humping the ground … if you look carefully, my pants are actually on.  I was attempting to do 50 pushups a day before going out drinking.  Mostly, I did a good job of that, but a couple nights I forgot [...]

We knew things were going to be awesome when we ordered 2 [...]

One Night in Salt Lake City

You might have some preconceptions about SLC.  No booze, Mormon sensibilities, etc.  We can say definitively that this is not your dad’s Salt Lake.
Beer is good.   We’ve had a lot of beer this trip, some excellent, so our standards are a little high right now.
We went to Squatter’s Brewpub first, and although some of the [...]
