After five years in its tiny, hand-made brewery and pub, Sasquatch Brewing Company is undertaking a major expansion, adding a new brewing facility in a 4000-square foot warehouse in industrial Northwest Portland. The new brewery will include a 15-barrel system, two 90-barrel cider fermenters, and a tasting room open to the public seven days a week. Three brand new...

Ignorance is bliss. I thought a great filet was the pinnacle of steaks until I tried a Kobe cap. I loved the Cape Cod beaches until I dipped my toes in the warm water of the Bahamas. Until recently, I thought I had great kitchen knives until I tried Edge of Belgravia cutting edge knives. As the Food and Beverage...

I recently purchased a fairly rare vintage amp, a Roland Jazz Chorus 120 head. I know many of you are familiar with the combo version of this amp. Not too many people have come across this head. While I am in love with this head, it has a 2x8 ohm stereo output. Of course, it sounds amazing through two...

I did a lot of construction in my early years. Towards the end of my years swinging a hammer, my focus went from construction to destruction. I became the foreman for a demolition crew. During those days no tool was in my hands more than my reciprocating saw. Even though my days on the crew are over, today as...

Video Game Roundtable Episode 463: Not an April Fool’s Episode. This week’s episode has nothing to do with April Fool’s Day, since that was a week ago. There’s nothing surprising about the crew this time around, though Jonah does finally give his final (?) thoughts on Mass Effect: Andromeda, and Zelda keeps getting heavy praise. The Persona 5 news...

Today is the perfect day for me to crack open Sam Adam’s Beer’s Fresh as Helles. I am outside in shorts and a tee-shirt and in the mood for something crisp and light. This Munich Helles Lager is incredibly approachable. If you have friends that are Macro lager drinkers or are one yourself Fresh as Helles is a lager that...

Videogame Roundtable Episode 295: Nerd Rage Jonah discusses his renewed views of Mass Effect: Andromeda after his long, long rant last week. It fits in with the theme of nerd rage in the news items, as well as some new games coming out. TJ and Scott talk about the games they've been enjoying in the past week as well, as...

A recent encounter with a re-fret opened up a whole new world with regard to the fretboard radius. We’ve all done it.  It’s a cool guitar with a bit of a story behind it that fills a gap in your stable of shred sticks.  So you pull the trigger.  Alright.  To be fair, some of us may purchase something like...

The Sledgehammer bridge humbucker pickup is another home run for Mojotone. It’s definitely one that I wish I’d tried a lot sooner! Why not? Well, I have to say that the official product description really threw me off. My guitar goals don’t really factor in a low end that is “big” and “round”, or a high end with “warmth”. That...

Videogame Roundtable Episode 293: PAX East 2017 Recap Jonah Falcon is finally back from PAX East 2017, and related his experiences at the convention.

There's also some news discussed: Payday owner Starbreeze to publish System...
