Holy moly, last weekend was insane! Sure, we were only 2-2 with our picks, but every matchup was great, every game played out well, and every single minute was exciting. We had one team win by 17, but the other three matchups were all within 3 points (1, 2, and 3 points, actually....). We also saw only one home team win (Indianapolis), and they had to stage the second largest comeback in NFL Playoff history. So...what does this mean? Nothing. It means absolutely nothing.

So many beers, So little time...Newbies is your essential map to the "best of the best" and the hottest new craft beers rolling out each week, and this week, we're all about the seasonals. From Heavy Seas'newest seasonal Siren Noire to the latest from 21^st Amendment and Revolution Brewing, we've got all kinds of new releases you're going to want to chase down.

So welcome to another edition of Newbies - your ultimate guide to great new craft beers!

So fasten your seat belts everybody because....THIS WEEK'S RUMOR MILL IS ON!

2013 was a great year for craft beer and not a bad year for movies either. Yes, last year had its share of predictable sequels (although even one of those made our list), duds, and disappointments. But overall, 2013 provided us with plenty of reasons to feel good about shelling out twenty bucks at the local multiplex...

So here are, in no particular order, our Favorite Movies of 2013.

2013 was a great year for craft beer and an awesome year for American television and particularly cable and satellite networks, which have blown past Hollywood to become the leading producer of innovative comedies and cutting-edge dramas today. Over the last decade, we have seen once unassailable networks like NBC, ABC, and CBS being forced to rethink their programming as they watched their market share erode to fearless upstarts producing important and visionary TV. The kinds of programming that made HBO such a premier and prestige cable destination have now spread to competitors like STARZ and Showtime, created new cable leaders like the AMC and FX channels, and inspired provider models like Netflix to get into the game.

So without further ado...Welcome to the first of ACB's Best TV Shows of 2013 (you can thank us later).

As any good beer geek knows, a craft beer road trip is truly a worthwhile adventure that shouldn't be rushed. Lucky for me, I had the time and of course the thirst for a 2-day Southeast Florida brewery circuit. If you missed the first leg, be sure to see what awesome spots I hit on Day 1. Here are four more reasons why Florida's Southeast coast is an awesome and off-the-beaten-path option for a picture-perfect brewery road trip.

We blame the industry for this... It used to be that when we wrapped up our Weekend Picks on Friday, we could coast through the weekend. There was little need to check in for updates - things were pretty much done. But clearly all that's changed.

So here's some of what's happened in the world of craft beer while you were off enjoying yourselves.

The Wild Card round of the NFL Playoffs begins this weekend, and if you missed our predictions for today's game, you might want to check them out before placing any bets. Here is how the second round is going to break down. These picks are real, so feel free to use them for whatever pseudo-legal venture you have going (just make sure your mom knows it was your idea).
