She has two double platinum CDs and has performed in concert throughout Europe. In the U.S., she recorded a duet with country singer Collin Raye and considers singing with him at the Grand Ole Opry one of the highlights of her career. In 2003, Bobbie moved to New York to portray Krystal on the soap opera, All My Children, for which she won two Emmy nominations for Lead Actress. While in New York, she also recorded a smooth jazz CD, Something Beautiful, which debuted at number 21 on the Smooth Jazz charts.

She resides in Palm Springs, Calif., with her husband of 20 years, actor and writer David Steen. Crowning of The Beer Snob We at Splash would like to announce that we have finally found a suitable replacement for our illustrious Beer Snob. A true Beer Snob is not easily replaced. That is why we have been searching every bar and alcohol serving establishment in Tidewater for someone with an impeccable sense of taste and a sharp enough wit to let the rest of us in on the true beer secrets. We at Splash would like to take this opportunity to anoint Mario Orlikoff of Newport News as the new Splash Beer Snob. Rumor has it that our former Beer Snob met with Bobbie Eakes a beer related accident. It seems that he was not content with drinking beer from a mug or a growler or any 2012 Mistress of Ceremonies object smaller than a full keg.

Not only does it have serious hops - many from the Pacific Northwest, by the way - the brewing process fea- tures 60 hop additions over a 60-minute boil. Hoppin' right out of the gym. But seriously, East Coast brewers tend to use more specialty malts, and this is evident in this 60-minute bottle of bad- ness. Meaning that its contents constitute a near perfect blend of citrus and malt. Every sip brings a terrific grapefruit-like start with a malty, hoppy finish. So who wins the first Bottle Royale? If the mas- cots got involved in this fight, it would be over quickly, and really, really ugly. Stone's impressive gargoyle would give the term "battered fish" new meaning. But it's a battle of the buds (taste buds, not the other Buds) ... and Dogfish wins by, well, a head. Of the course this went the distance - all 24 ounces. In a matchup like this, everyone's a winner. Especially the people who do the tasting. Battle of the Bottles Craft beer matchup of the month: Stone IPA vs. Dogfish Head 60-minute IPA By Mario Orlikoff If this were the NBA, it would be Magic vs. Bird, West Coast vs. East Coast, Lakers vs. Celtics. But this is IPA, and we're talkin' beers, not bas- ketball. To celebrate the Virginia Beer Festival's return in May to Town Point Park, Splash Sports presents a mythical matchup, yet one that could potentially be all too real to one's taste buds. On one side, from San Diego, it's Stone's India Pale Ale, or IPA. On the other, from Delaware, it's Dogfish Head's 60-minute IPA. We had plenty of nicknames suggested for this "event." Bottlestar Galacticaand, Bottlefield Earth were rejected. We settled on Bottle Royale, because this truly is a meeting of craft beer royalty.

A matchup of brews from the Old Dominion. The hop fields of the Pacific Northwest and all of their variety enable Stone to pack an IPA punch.
