The fine people at Wine and Spirits Jobs sent me an e-mail introducing me to their job listing service this morning, and it is a pretty awesome site. The abundance of job offerings is modest but solid, ranging from Sales Representative to Master of Whiskey to Hispanic Market Manager. These postings have gotten me a bit concerned. I knew Mutineer Magazine needed another Sales Rep, but now I’m going to talk to the guys about investing in a Master of Whiskey and Hispanic Market Manager as well. Yes, I am confident having these key roles filled on our staff will get us to the next level, so much so that Steve Heimoff will have to finally start returning my phone calls. Continue Reading »
Not since the days of Joseph McCarthy have we seen a witch hunt like the one being conducted on athletes regarding banned substance use. Even the great Alex Rodriguez (who is now officially “A-Roid” according to our graphics guy and embittered Seattle Mariners fan Jordan) has fallen prey to steroid allegations.
I’ve been meaning to start this blog column for sometime, and today I take the mighty plunge. I call it “The Happening”, and it is my way of addressing the constant stream of event information that finds its way into my e-mail inbox. These events range from epic to elegant and from now on no event will visit my e-mail without then paying a visit to the Mutineer Blog, with the first mention going to Jonathon Alsop’s Boston Wine School, which kindly sent me information about the upcoming spring classes offered through his school.

In 1991 the federal excise tax on many items was basically doubled, this included tax on beer. Since that time all the taxes on so called luxury items have been repealed except for the beer tax. Now, legislation has entered Congress that will take the excise tax back to the pre-1991 level and provide relief to brewers and buyers alike. This is an important piece of legislation that could help stimulate a hard struck economy. The Beer Institute and The Brewers Association have led the fight to repeal this tax. They have detailed information on how to contact your representative to get involved. For the complete story and information click here.
Beer and food combinations have started to make their way into restaurants all across America. This could be a food and beer pairing such as spicy food and India Pale Ale.

Trudging through the Vermont countryside in knee high snow listening intently for any noise that seems out of place you finally stumble upon your destination, Magic Hat Brewing Company. With one more glance back you make a break from the tree line and dash across the last hundred feet looking back to make sure the evil one hasn’t spotted you. The door silently swings closed and you let out a heavy sigh of relief knowing that your return journey will be that much easier with your variety pack of Magic Hat Night of the Living Dead brews.
There is nothing worse when hunting zombies than accidentally shooting a living human. This is easier than you might think after downing a sixer of your favorite beer to rally your quivering courage get you out the door and on the hunt. One way to keep everyone on your team alive is to outfit them with uniforms. While your hiding behind abandoned cars and reloading your Smith & Wesson you may not be sure whether the staggering body coming toward you is a corpse or your buddy just coming home from the bar, but the beer zombie t-shirts from My Two Cents Clothing are the perfect way to differentiate between the living dead and the just plain drunk. Also available are babydoll t-shirts for the ladies, because the last thing you want to do is shoot the last remaining pretty girls on the planet.
