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 [...]
Tickets go on sale March 9th at 5 PM. Cost is $30. You can bring along a DD for $10, but obviously that person cannot drink any beer at the event. The expo will be held downtown Rochester, MN at the Civic Center. From the people I have talked to, there should be [...]

Most people just have it in their regular fridge. Some obsessed people have a fridge solely dedicated to beer. And, of course, you have [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
