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 [...]
If you know me, or follow me on Twitter, you’ll know that I have an aversion towards all things St. Louis. It’s not only some Kansas City vs. St. Louis thing, as this was going on well before I moved here. I’ve been a Royals fan all my life, and remember watching the ’85 World [...]
I think it was the Thursday before the Big Ten title game, I struck out for points north on a quest for fire. OK, not really fire, but beer. Iowa beer distribution is making strides, but you can’t get Three Floyds or Stone here and you never will. Too expensive to move off the [...]
This is one of my favorite scenes in what is undoubtedly the greatest hockey movie ever made. So why am I bringing this up? Well, I’ve seen Storminspank’s beer cellar and I’ve seen Morehouse’s beer cellar (although it’s been a while on this one). I’ve seen pictures of Flenker’s. And of course I’ve seen mine. [...]
For this edition of Gueuze Day, I’ll be writing the post as I go, along with the songs I have going (sometimes it takes me a while to get through my thoughts, and these are usually sippers, so there’ll be a few songs). Loney, Dear. Awesome. I’ve seen them a couple times, the first time [...]
I have not posted anything in a long time. If you remember I had two bad batches. I need to give credit to the people who had suggestions to the reasons for the problem. I am not going to look back and give proper credit, but you know who you are and you have beer [...]
We haven’t done an open beer thread in a while and I feel like drinking will all my “friends” tonight. So let’s do this. I just finished a Lancaster Brewing Hop Hog IPA. It’s quite possibly one of the most unremarkable IPA’s I’ve ever had. But it’s almost 8% abv and a sneaky sumbith. And [...]
I picked up a little bottle of Saison Dupont today, and thought I’d do a quick review of it here. (A few months ago Storminspank covered another beer from this brewery, Bons Voeux Avec les bons Vœux de la brasserie Dupont.) It’s been a while since I’ve had one of these, so it’s kind [...]
