Brew Review: Hop Back Amber Ale
The only reason I typically eat at the mall is because I turn into a low-blood-sugar bee-yotch after schlepping shopping bags for too long on an empty stomach. (Forced exposure to Muzak doesn't help, either.) Feed me a tuna sandwich from Wildflower Bakery and I'm ready to scour the sale...
Choosing the right horse requires a lot of luck and a certain willingness to watch your already mentally-spent earnings fail to materialize. That's why I took a different gamble at Turf Paradise Race Track this weekend and thought I'd try my luck with a bunch of micro brew enthusiasts instead...
There was something very telling about the two songs The Get Up Kids chose to open their encore at last night's packed Clubhouse Music Venue show in Tempe. On one hand, it was odd to hear covers of The Cure's "Close To Me" and The Replacements' "Beer For Breakfast" get...

The Orange TableEven if the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art weren’t right next door, The Orange Table would still be Old Town Scottsdale’s best neighborhood cafe.

Practical ArtEver been “finger-wagged” by one of those serious-as-cancer security guards at the Phoenix Art Museum? You know, you sneak in for a closer look at one of the paintings, and the guard is in your face, index finger zipping back and forth like a windshield wiper? Hey, it’s their job; we get it. It’s just […]

Summer Beer Quest Week Five
Today I write to you a changed man. No, I have not found a beer so good that I've felt the touch of God. Rather, I've found a beer-drinking mecca. I can only apologize that it's taken me this long to discover Sun Devil Liquor in Mesa; though I have...
There are 57 vodkas, two shelves of tequila and 50 different kinds of beers taking up the limited shelf space of SideBar in downtown Phoenix. For a bar that's about the size of a college dorm room, that's not too shabby. OK, a college suite. With house-made flavors and fresh-squeezed...
Whether you agree with his decisions or not, there can be no doubt that President Obama has already accomplished many things since entering office in January of 2009. He has closed Guantanamo Bay. He has supported stem cell research. But it is one of his most recent decisions that has...

...Downtown Phoenix painter Michael Little and his pal Jonas Sunshine Callewaert, who we saw begging for change this afternoon at the eastbound on-ramp for Interstate-10 at Seventh Street.

Last night, a dozen local bartenders gathered at Scottsdale's fashion-forward CANAL restaurant for an Iron Chef style competition which tested their cocktail making prowess. A few of the culinary scene's big names were also there, including chef James Porter and emcee Dave Johnson, head of the wine and spirits program at Sol y Sombra. When Johnson showed...
There are plenty of nameless, unsung brewmasters out there, and Sam Calagione is definitely not one of them.
