Do you like Old Foghorn? This small beer is the second running through the grains and grist of Old Foghorn. If you want to know a little more, check out our review of Old Foghorn. But let me caution you, this beer is not quite like Old Foghorn, even if it does come from the [...]
This review is actually part one of two. I ended up drinking Old Foghorn and the Anchor Small Beer. Small beer is the second running of a beer, which means that the first beer is the way stronger version. Historically, those who were more wealthy could afford the good beer, whereas those with less financial [...]
For the past couple of years I have been helplessly addicted to a series on the Travel Channel (I bet you were expecting me to say “beer,” huh!).

It seems that there are some pretty good brewers in Michigan these days. Great Lakes and others put out some great stuff. What about Dark Horse, are they to be counted among these good breweries? Since I’ve got two Stouts from this same brewery, I’m going to review them both on this one article. Luckily, [...]
As promised, a lesson in hops is on the way. I am breaking this into two or three sessions, since there is a lot of ground to cover when it comes to this marvelous feat of nature. This post is going to focus on non-beer qualities of the herb. The post(s) to come will delve [...]
Home grown Hops make a more authentic and appreciate Home Brew.
