It’s summertime here in NW Florida and that means festival season is underway so when the wife says “Honey I bought tickets to the Craft Beer Festival” what she means is “I’ve planned your day and you’ll love it”. 25 Breweries and nine Distilleries were represented on the deck of a local favorite restaurant, The […]
You’re bringing cigars, right? SOFREP Managing Editor Guy McCardle was asking me what I was packing for SOF Week. Umm, Yes of course, why? Because I’m bringing a bottle of Fior Scotch to review, have you ever had any? I had to admit I hadn’t, mostly because I’m not a big Scotch drinker but, if […]

Depending on your geographical location in the United States or even the world for that matter, the near mention of Tequila usually causes at least a few people to shudder. They’re instantly reminded of “That one night in Cabo”, or even just a night in the dorms during college that got a little out of […]
The dog days of summer. My favorite time of year in Northern Michigan. Surrounded by crystal clear glacial lakes, golf courses, vast forests and 10pm sunsets. I’m not going to lie, it’s pretty hard to beat. The winters, however, are a completely different story and I don’t want to get into that now. As the […]
Ever since I was old enough to drink, and maybe a little before, my number in choice has been Crown Royal. My dad drinks it, I drink it, my whole family drinks it. Crown Royal is a quality Canadian whiskey, but we won’t hold that against them. Every bar I go to, in every country […]
