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 [...]
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 [...]
Hello, friends. It’s been a shameful amount of time since my last post here. ACBW is a perfect time to rectify that, so let’s get right to it. One of the last times we traveled north to Wisconsin, we finally took the time to stop in New Glarus on our way to Madison to tour [...]
I was really planning on having this post done, oh, 3 or 4 hours ago, but, well, shit happened. Not really shit. I went out for an ACBW event, ran into friends, got some sushi, drank some beers, I think there was a shot of rum in there somewhere (surprisingly smooth, too. Disconcerting, because usually [...]
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 [...]
Bells, Toppling Goliath, Russian River, and Surly made the Final Pour, it’s up to you to decide who makes it to the championship of BEERacketology. Four breweries are left standing just weeks months after the start of our inaugural BEERacketology…thing… And here they are: THE FAVORITE: #1 seed Bells Brewery out of The Krakken region. THE [...]
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!
