What makes someone a notable drunk in our eyes? Well, if you’re Zane Lamprey, it’s because you get paid to fly to exotic locales, meet new interesting people from different cultures, and ultimately get drunk with those people. Zane, the host of Three Sheets (which up until Dec 2008 has been aired on the MojoHD channel), was gracious enough to grant us an interview while we were at the Great American Beer Fest. He was every bit as nice as you’d imagine from watching him on the television, but we caught him early, so he wasn’t drunk yet. But Zane’s reputation precedes him. Thanks, Zane!

There has been a rash of books and documentaries about Hunter S. Thompson in the past two years and surprisingly, most of them are worth the money. But for the true, hardcore HST fan, there may be no better purchase than The Gonzo Tapes.
The Gonzo Tapes is a 5-CD set featuring Dr. Gonzo’s personal commentary […]

The big night is less that two weeks away: Election Night. Maybe it’s because we work in the beer business, but it seems like the three debates were great nights to sit back, pontificate on who made a better showing and drink a good beer. Election Night ‘08 should be no different.

GABF - The Great American Beer Festival. Close to 2000 beers from 400 breweries. And 40,000 people drinking those beers over 4 sessions. The people are ridiculous sometimes.
Just like Notable Drunk #1.
You may remember this dude’s racket from a recent feature-length film, but then again… his impression isn’t really spot-on, but we loved his dedication to the role.
