Covering all the Gravity Head 2014 bases.

Last Saturday on Day Two of Gravity Head 2014, Pattie's and Larry's crazed Daytonans hatched a plot to surprise Larry by wearing bib overalls to their Public House session. Larry always wears overalls, and the last couple of years, so have I. This time it was a mass craze. In the photo above, taken by my esteemed missus, you'll see a non-Daytonan in the upper right of the view. It's Joey Burns, former assistant brewer (to Michael Borchers) when NABC first began brewing in 2002. Joey knew nothing about the Overall Conspiracy, but was delighted to join in on it.

Great Taste Roadtrip 2011: Thursday, August 11.

Beginning at 6:00 a.m. on August 11 -- with a full tank of gas and powered by Honey Cream doughnuts with espresso -- we piloted the Crown Vic all the way through farm country to Madison, Wisconsin. The first stop each year tends to be the Great Dane brewpub downtown, but this year we hit Capital Brewing's beer garden in Middleton first with pizza purchased at Roman Candle, then drove back to Great Dane to meet Pat (above) and Larry.

First Dayton Pat, and then later in the week, Bearded Pat.
