A little food with your beer

How much does food matter?

All your beer robots belong to us

When I was in Japan two years ago, they were giving 500 of these away as prizes. I want one! And I know its slow but I don't care. I don't think it can handle bottles but besides that - so cool! Its a BEER ROBOT people.

Beer at Joe's

I Joseph Ruvel love beer. It is true. I have loved drinking beer for awhile now but it is starting to encroach into my obsession with food. But hey I can love two things right. So now to add to my blog of one - I add a new forkandpen creation - Beer at Joe's. The Girl and I will dive right into the world of beer - tasting, learning, and asking lots of questions. It will undoubtedly be real tough and boy am I looking forward to it. I will try to keep up posting food stuff here and maybe a few cross posts just to keep things fancy.

Come along and have a few beers on us.
