Middle of the week review: Old Leg Humper Robust Porter

What an interesting and glorious name.  What else can one say about this beer?  We might as well behave like the dog on the bottle and go for it (I mean trying the beer).  I’ve mention some information on Porters before when I wrote about Stouts.  I’m also planning on writing an article about them [...]

Friday Beer | Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock

Guilt has been weighing on our consciences here at Thank Heaven for Beer after our flirtation with evil a couple weeks as we drank and promoted that blood sucking beer, Nasfuratu.  Pennence in mind, this week we bring you a highly acclaimed and most delicious beer–Celebrator–put out by Ayinger.  This beer, called the Pope of [...]

Style Series: Pilsner Lager

Since I mentioned Lagers first, that is what  I’m going to talk about (yes, it’s that arbitrary).  I know that we have all heard the term ”Johnnie come lately.”  In the beer world, the pinnacle of this saying is found in the Pilsner style of beer.  As you might or might not have guessed, Pilsner is actually an appellation that denotes [...]

A Night Out on the Town: Blue Moon, Racer 5, and a Christmas Ale

When I first came up with the idea for this blog, I hoped it would bring people together under one common denominator…beer.  Right off the bat, after we shared our earliest beer memories, someone mentioned how nice it was to share the personal experience of beer drinking, so tonight, I’ll get a little personal, once [...]

Drink with us Friday: Review of Sam Adams Hallertau

In marketing, many times companies have been on the edge of false advertising…this is not one of them.  When the bottle tells the drinker that this is an intense hop experience, that is exactly what it means.  More about that in a minute. In terms of appearance, there was a nice foam white head on this [...]

Style Series: What is the difference between a Lager and an Ale?

I thought a good starting place for the series would be to talk about the two major lines of demarcation when speaking of beers.  As far as beers go, there are Lagers and Ales.  Here is a basic breakdown that will help us to be clear about how the terms are being used. Lager stems [...]

Middle of the week review: De Dolle Brouwers Oerbier

In an effort to talk about more beers, we are planning to review an additional beer or two a week.  This will happen on top of our Drink It with Us Friday beers.  We want to beginning building a database a beers for those who visit to scroll through.  We’re also hoping that this will [...]

Friday Beer:Samuel Adams Hallertau Imperial Pilsner

Samuel Adams describes this beer as an Intense Hop experience.  I’ve had it once before and remember think that they were right.  Here is the deal; the Pilsners that Americans have become accustomed to drink are an emaciated version of the original.  The original version of the Pilsner is still made by Urquell, although it [...]

Just my Style: A Series on Beer Styles

Now that we are getting some people who really seem to be interested in our site, I thought I would write a series on various beer styles.  We will try to address topics like what is the difference between a Lager and an Ale?  Beyond this, we will also address categories within this types of [...]

Obama and McCain debate about beer.

I thought that this would be a nice post the day before the election.  Of course this is a hypothetical article characterizing the debates that the two have had.  I will also throw in some more vicious rumors that have occured.  This is not an endorsement of any particular candidate.  How much more bipartisan can [...]
