It’s beer weekend, otherwise known as football season.  Beer doesn’t see the light of day much in bottles and pints on The Intoxicologist site, but rather tidied up in cocktail packages.  A few fun Beer-Rita and raspberry influenced ‘beer-tail’ recipes for your football weekend have been served to national television audiences via Rachael Ray and in one of the most sought after night spots New York has to offer; PDT.
