This Friday Mike and I are leaving our respective dwelling places and travel to the sunny paradise of Munster, Indiana. We are not making the trek for the sand, surf, and sun. It is the call of Dark Lord. We would love to make the actual Dark Lord brew the Sip With Us Saturday for [...]
For Sip with us Saturday, I said I was going to drink something by Stone…sort of true. My chosen tipple was a collaborative brew by Stone, Firestone Walker, and 21st Amendment. The beer itself was an interesting collaboration, and Stone used a version of Firestone’s Union system for the brew. Cool stuff. The beer is [...]
This week’s Sip With Us Saturday led me to the corner of the beer aisle with Stone offerings. Upon looking at the selection, I realized that I had tasted every offering available to me, from the Bashah, to the 09 09 09, to the California Belgique EXCEPT for the Ruination IPA. Heresy, I know. The [...]
Sip with us Saturday is becoming a ritual among a few elite…okay, so it’s less than even a few and none of us are very elite. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t sip something from the Brewing elite. What I’m suggesting for this week is that you sip on something that’s Stone. If you choose [...]
Pay attention, because I’m “coming out of the closet” in a beer fanatic sort of way. I’m not talking about my sexuality, but my brewality. I just might be an anomaly in the world of beer geeks: I am not a huge fan of bourbon aged beers. I like bourbon. I like beer. But [...]
As I’ve mentioned on other posts, this brew is a reincarnation of Stone’s 11th anniversary Ale. From what I understand, people clamored until Stone starting making this beer on a regular basis (I guess the squeaky wheel does get the grease after all; the black grease beer, that is). Other sites defer by calling this [...]
Sip With Us Saturday was started to reinforce the bonds that exist between like minded beer drinkers. Whether out with friends on a Saturday night, or alone at home, it is nice to know that the beer in your hand is at the same moment being enjoyed by a friend who very well be at [...]
Here it is. Easter is fast approaching, which is a time of reflection for many. Perhaps it’s even a time of humbling for many of us. We become more conscious of what we have and what gifts we’ve experienced throughout the year…and it sometimes even humbles us. So, I thought we’d sip something that was [...]
I got this Angel’s Share at Whole Foods, and a friend picked up the Tomme at the Whole Foods in Glendale. My buddy David found the latter and called to see if I wanted to go halfsies. I think my response was something like %*&# yeah! Anyway, I’m excited to post my reviews of these [...]
Mike and I do not review EVERY beer we drink. If we did, you would get bored and this site would end up being strictly a review site, which was never its intent. Thus said, when we review a beer, it’s for good reason. Partly in response to the SWUS beer, which was any beer [...]
