Quick post from the patio set… Oranjeboom Lager Maybe its because I’m a freaky deaky Dutchman, but I like this beer more than I know I ought to. It’s thin, it’s a sweet lager, its basically a Nordeast type if beer. But it’s hot out today, I had a super shitty week, and this tastes [...]
by storminspank Now that BEERacketology is officially over, it’s time to dive back into the reviews here. The Alchemist Heady Topper ABV: 8.0 IBU: 120 Style: Double IPA (Imperial IPA by my judgement) RateBeer: 100/100 BeerAdvocate: 100/93 Aaron (@ndsumiller) recently came into some Heady Topper from Vermont. It’s not easy to get. It’s akin to [...]
By a large margin, Topping Goliath has won the 2012 BEERacketology title as a 12 seed. This is the lowest seed to ever win this prestigious tournament. TGBrews used social media and kickass beer to take down bigger breweries throughout the tournament. Here’s a look at the votes: Not. Even. Close. We hope to [...]
Toppling Goliath takes on Surly Brewing in the 2012 BEERacketology finals. Before you vote, give a listen to our latest Podcast. Sure, it’s over an hour and a half long, but it’s totally worth your time…. sure it is. Or if you don’t want to listen to it all, I’ve broken down the podcast into [...]

So the first couple of podcasts were opened with our Brewmaniacs theme song, a parody of Michael Sembello’s 80′s tune “Maniac”. It was ok and served its purpose… but let’s be honest… we are a pretty big deal now. We need some top-notch talent to come in and get us a new theme song. So [...]

“Off-centered infusions for off-centered people. Randall Jr. holds 20 times it weight of whatnot!!!” – DFH Watch it and enjoy!
Here we are, down to just EIGHT BREWERIES vying for the right to be named the 2012 Brewmaniacs BEERacketology Champion. This round, we’ve done yet again something different, we hit up a podcast. Morehouse, MetsFanVI, Flenker, and I (Spank) sat down Sunday night to talk a bit about the brackets and the beers. We talk [...]
We started with 64 breweries and now we are down to just 16 thanks to everyone’s votes. This round, we are keeping it simple. Just go ahead and vote for the brewery you want to win. That’s it. For the Elite Eight and beyond we will breakdown each brewery further, but this round we are [...]
The readers have spoken and here are the results: Very surprised Southern Tier was destroyed so badly by Toppling Goliath, but the people have spoke. All the other matchups went pretty much as you’d expect. We are now down to the Sweet Sixteen of BEERacketology!
This one went pretty much how I thought it would. I’m impressed that Schell’s pulled it out. Traditional, old school brewery gets the job done. A little bummed that Dark Horse didn’t get the attention it should have. We will have the right side of the bracket up this afternoon for voting.
