All the Brews That's Fit to Drink: Bad brews for Bears: the popular college beers to avoid at all costs
As your humble columnist, I feel as though I've tried my best to steer all those who read my article towards beer bliss. Even in my piece discussing the finer points of malt liquor, I made an honest attempt to distinguish those brews that rose above the swill and reached some sort of relatively elevated status.

All the Brews That's Fit to Drink: Schneider-Brooklyner Hopfen-Weisse promises a mouthful of great flavors
My last column was a hopeful one. After months of struggling to orient myself in this new world of gluten-free beer, I found a wonderful option in the form of Estrella's Daura. Indeed, just days after writing my column two weeks ago, I polished off the rest of the four-pack with ease, proving it did possess the kind of superior drinkability I claimed (not the same as Bud Light's).

All the Brews That's Fit to Drink: Bad brews bears: a new allergy prompts new beer-drinking dilemma
After finishing my last column over Winter Break, I received some of the worst news a beer reviewer can get. For years I have avoided seafood with the assumption that I have a food allergy, based on a bad experience when I was young. Looking back, I should have tested this allergy a little more, but it just became easy to avoid seafood in general. Finally, however, after years of vegetable sushi and steak at the lobster bake, I decided to get tested and find out if my avoidances were necessary.
