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 [...]
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 [...]
Yeah we are big timing it now. We did a podcast. It’s probably the best podcast you will ever listen to, ever. Ever. Except the opposite. But please don’t turn it off after 3 minutes… get to at least 5 minutes in to make us feel better. [...]
Hey, did you hear it was International Stout Day yesterday? Like my colleague, I too drank a Dark Lord. My bottle was also a gift from Morehouse. That guy is a regular Dark Lord Fairy, I tell you. But unlike Spank’s, my bottle was a 2010 which I had been sitting on. How does it [...]

He’s always been a great host – from picking out beers, to tasting beers, you name it, he’s just a great, great guy. Tonight we got talking about Belgian beers, quads, trippel, strong ales, etc… (among [...]

Alrighty then, it’s time for another OPEN BEER THREAD on Brewmaniacs. If you don’t know what that is, check out the last time we did this. Basically, we all drink beer throughout the night and wax intellectual about it… or unintellectual about it. Whatevs. There might be superheroes and actions figures involved, perhaps even animals, [...]
