Looks like it’s my turn to contribute here. My local retailer just got the 2012 version of Goose Island’s Juliet in stock so I had to get a bottle. This is the first time I’ve ever even seen this beer and since it’s American Craft Beer Week, I might as well drink it and write [...]
American Craft Beer Week is here! Hooray! Officially kicking off today, May 14, and running through May 20, ACBW was designated by the Brewers Association to celebrate the goodness that is craft beer in the US. Brewers and establishments all over the country are holding events to celebrate. Check out the list on the always-excellent [...]
Round 2 continues with match-ups from The Krakken and DRUNKHULK regions. Here’s a look back at the FULL BRACKET and the SEEDS FROM SELECTION THURSDAY. We’ll let MetsFanVI kick things off… Metsy here. For whatever reason, 3/4 of the regions went pretty much chalk. But my region, The Krakken, featured 3 major upsets with the numbers [...]
MetsFanVI breaks down The Krakken Regional… It’s time to cast your votes in the first round of The Krakken regional. Before we get to the pairings, a little history. The Krakken was a beer I brewed almost three years ago now. Sparky wanted to learn how to make beer so we brewed a Bell’s Two [...]
We’re long overdue for an open beer thread. And I’m long over due to drink a few beers. So we’ll be killing two birds with the single proverbial stone and kicking off an open beer thread later tonight. Things will get underway sometime after 8pm CST. But don’t let that stop you from getting things [...]
We were asked on Twitter tonight what other beer blogs do we read. I take that as commentary that I’m not posting here enough. And you’re right. I have no excuse. But I’ll also be honest and say I don’t see that changing in the immediate future. But ask and ye shall receive. Here’s the [...]
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 [...]
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!
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. [...]
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 [...]
When I think about Thanksgiving, I think of a few things. Family, friends, naps and football are just a few. But nothing Thanksgiving is nothing if it’s not copious amounts food. For me it’s a day to gorge oneself in the savory flavors of fall. From roast turkey to sweet potatoes, stuffing, squash, pie, the [...]
Back in July I had the opportunity to attend a beer dinner at my favorite local bar, Red’s Alehouse, feature my favorite Iowa brewery, Toppling Goliath. You can read about that event right here on our little corner of the interwebs. So, imagine how happy I was to hear Red’s and Toppling Goliath were going [...]
