The first New Glarus beer I tried was their Spotted Cow. That was many years ago. I had heard from so many people up here in Minnesota that it was an amazing beer and I had to get a hold of it quickly. So I made the trek over to Hudson Wisconsin (the same town [...]
(This is probably going to be a fairly short post, as I’m writing this between showings of tonight’s Archer, during the dreck that is Unsupervised [truth be told, I laughed a couple times at last week's episode, but putting an animated comedy between episodes of the best animated comedy currently running is a formula for [...]
Alright, the weather here has been unseasonably warm. That’s putting it lightly. I’ve brewed outside on three different occasions over the last month. Ridiculous. But this morning, I swear it snowed! Sure, it’ll be near 50 tomorrow. And above freezing right now. But the flurries in the morning where inspiring enough for me to open [...]
Hey there! Remember me? It’s been a while since I last posted on here, let alone something of substance. While the former may no longer be true, sadly the latter still holds. But I wanted to share this with you. Last year Breckenridge put out a set of commercials openly mocking the big boys. They [...]
You know the rules…. Drink beer and post in the comments. It’s basically a free-for-all but with some tact involved (we had to Google “tact”. Brewmaniacs contributors will post beers in the body, but we’ll comment along with you. We’ll really start cranking it out later tonight… I highly suggest you setup a DISQUS account [...]
It’s a nice, sunny afternoon here in Kansas City, with temperatures getting into the 50s. Exactly the kind of nice days we expect for early April. Boy, wasn’t the NCAA tournament exciting? And how about those Royals, starting off the season with a winning road trip on the West Coast? Can’t wait for the home [...]
So Morehouse calls it his Bukowski of Justice, while Flenker and MetsFanVI have theirs sitting in cardboard boxes in closets and basements. I’m talking about the place you store your beer. Most people just have it in their regular fridge. Some obsessed people have a fridge solely dedicated to beer. And, of course, you have [...]
This will be a quick one tonight… I mostly just want to do a post on the laptop I got, a hand-me-down from my ma. Thanks ma! Also, I wanted to use the beer tasting notebook I got from Wilderness Brewing’s Kickstarter reward. It’s pretty neat, and a handy way to keep track and make [...]
Every year my brother-in-law (@LNeibs) makes us a wonderful Christmas dinner as his gift to the family. He’s made us anything from a Greek-themed meal to a full-blown Italian feast. This year the idea was “Pretentious Pub”, wherein the food was inspired by bar food, but made up to be pretentious in character and self-importance. [...]
Hopefully everyone gets a chance to drink some good beer this weekend. In the meantime, relax and enjoy my favorite beer-related Christmas carol. And maybe the PBR Santa will visit your house!
(Alt. title: I have the seen the future, and it is Gueuze. As said by @bythepint. Yeah, that’s actually much better. Dang) Dire times have hit, and I’m not sure if I can carry on. I’m not sure if there’s any new gueuzes around in KC for me to try for next couple weeks, unless [...]
It’s craft time using craft beer!! Super fun and manly right?! Well, yes, actually is pretty manly and (as much as it pains me to admit it) very fun. How did this come about? Welp, I’ll tell you… So my wife is a frequenter of this site called Pinterest.com – it’s like a virtual pinboard [...]
