Estrella Damm Inedit is, supposedly, the world’s first beer specifically designed to be consumed with food. As you’ll see from our video, we find that Estrella Damm Inedit isn’t really beer at all, but more like a malt beverage that falls in the non-beer category.
So I’ve been doing these videos for Nuvo for a while, and here is some self-constructive cristicism:
Louder!! You never know how loud those video interns will crank up the quirky background music that they inevitably prefer to your ramblings anyway.
One, maybe two drinks are always prerequisites to being on camera. If it’s early in the [...]
The following transcript was meant to run in the Indianapolis alt-weekly dining section in lieu of my usual restaurant critique. My editor killed it, saying we should save it for the October dining guide. He reasons (I’m reasoning) that this is more of a state-of-the-local-dining-scene piece, which just goes to show how out of touch [...]
Probably one of the easiest things to make at home is a good sandwich. Actually, scratch that. It takes a lot of work to make a good sandwich, because, like anything else, you have to start with quality ingredients, and there are often smaller, tedious parts that need to be made.
Tonight I made my boyfriend [...]
So I’m doing a story on Wagyu (“Kobe”) beef and Berkshire (“Kurobuta”) pork for Beer Magazine. My cautious use of quotations and parentheses around the “designer” names for these ultra primo-meats is well warranted: There’s so much misinformation surrounding their labeling and lore, most people don’t really know what they’re getting when they order them [...]

Keep in mind, many of these go for both sexes, but they’re definitely written from a woman’s perspective.
1. Don’t [...]
Dark Lord 2009 Tasting from Jennifer Litz on Vimeo.
Three Floyds Dark Lord is the holy grail of Russian imperial stouts. Dark Lord Day is the holy grail of special release beer festivals.
I had the privilege of experiencing both, and without standing in line for hours like everyone else. Beer Magazine commissioned me to write [...]
No sooner did I pen “How to Buy a Chick a Beer” for Beer Magazine and go on record on the Good Beer Show proclaiming women to be great guzzlers of brew than I was jarred by the anecdotal evidence outside my immediate circle of friends. Benchmark beer event Dark Lord Day wasn’t a total [...]
So I admit. I didn’t think Indiana wineries could produce much worth drinking. And on the whole, I was right: There were lots of insipid zinfandels and sour cabernets at the 10th annual Vintage Indiana festival. Lots of reds had the aftertaste of dirt. And possibly most annoyingly, there were too many tasters who [...]
