What’s a Dogfish Head?

By Chris Osburn • Aug 3rd, 2010 • Category: OSBURN ON TAP by Chris Osburn

The Dogfish Head Craft Brewery of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware is not your average brewery. To be cliché, they play by their own rules. They brewed an Imperial Pilsner called “Golden Shower” which they were promptly told that they couldn’t sell unless they changed the name. They settled on “Golden Era”, but the fact that they [...]



[SPORTS] The Week In Sports #24: Bienvenido a Miami

By Chris Osburn • Jul 21st, 2010 • Category: Sports

LeBron James was still “undecided” on his choice of teams the last time I wrote this article. That night, Wednesday the 7th, James appeared on the most ridiculous, annoying, boring special of all time that aired live on ESPN.  Just like everyone (other than the citizens of Cleveland, Ohio) though, he picked Miami to complete [...]

[OSBURN ON TAP] Summer Time and the Living’s Easy

By Chris Osburn • Jul 14th, 2010 • Category: OSBURN ON TAP by Chris Osburn

Few songs get me thinking about beautiful, summer weather like the 1996 Sublime song that this article is named after. Regardless of what are you doing, if you live somewhere with sunny, warm weather, the living is indeed easy. We have no fear of snowstorms in the northeast during this time of year. This is [...]

[OSBURN ON TAP] Drink This… At Your Own Risk

By Chris Osburn • May 26th, 2010 • Category: Lifestyle, OSBURN ON TAP by Chris Osburn

Most domestic beer is around 4-6% alcohol by volume. Personally, that’s enough alcohol for me. I, believe it or not, actually like the taste of beer and drink it more for the flavor than for the amount of alcohol in it. I appreciate the subtle yeasty, citrus flavor of a hefeweizen on a beautiful, sunny [...]

The World Cup is less than a month away and I am getting more and more excited by the day. I’ve said it in the past, but I seriously, there is no sporting event in the world I would rather go to than the World Cup. Not the World Series, not the NHL finals and [...]
