A weekly look at the draft selection in beer-friendly bars across the country.

It's summer. School is out of session. Probably seems like the wrong time to be hitting up bars in a college town like Athens, Ga. , home to the University of Georgia. But Trappeze Pub sees slightly smaller crowds during the summer months, making July and August the perfect time to stop by this sophisticated suds spot.

"Some bars close down for a month and a half in the summer," explains owner Eric Johnson about the fate of other neighborhood watering holes in need of student bodies to fill their spaces. "The lion's share are all about who has the best keg deal on. Even the local beer geeks said [Trappeze] would never work!"

But work it did. With 39 taps and a beer engine containing only "the best of the best" in the brew world, this pub quickly made a name for itself. After being open for only three months, in early 2008, the pub bought the coffee house next door to accommodate crowds.

20 Questions with a Slashfoodie: Mike Pomranz

When new bloggers join the Slashfood team, we like to make sure they get a proper introduction to our readers. You've met Annie Scott, Monika Bartyzel, Stefani Pollack and Alanna Kaufman. Now meet the latest addition to our team, Mike Pomranz.

Do you have a personal blog?

A friend once told me: "You need to post a website or something. How the hell am I supposed to know what you're up to?" She was kidding. I have serious problems.

For the election season, you can read my Election '08 comedy blog, Slander '08. Coming soon, I'm launching Wiijuvenated to deal with my Wii addiction. You can also often find me blogging on behalf of my rock band here or my musical comedy duo here. And if you're a fan of blogs that haven't been updated in years, feel free to look here, here, here and, uh, even here. (Please note, many of these blogs are not safe for work or for society in general.) Maybe one day I'll stick with a blog for more than two months at a time.

What is your day job, or rather, what do you do when you're not food blogging?

As a writer, comedian and musician, I spend a lot of time on the couch.
