As we stated in the outset of the launch of this blog, as much as we love beer, we love the experience, culture, and ambiance associated with the historic beverage. Thus said, this review includes a little bit more than the spotlighted beer, Franziskaner’s Hefe-Weisse Dunkel , and will allow for a little more subjectivity [...]
Corsendonk makes some wonderful beers. We have reviewed their Christmas Ale. And even though I hate cheese, you have to respect a brewery that makes their own, which Corsendonk does. I fully plan to review some of their other stuff just to have it on here. Because I like their products so much, I decided [...]
I had a fantastic time at the Glass City Beer festival on Friday. While the event was small in comparison to traditional beer festivals, there was a decent turnout and variety. I do wish there would have been more brewery representatives to chat with, but it did its job: It allowed me to taste more [...]
Say what you need to say. I hate that song but love the expression. Since the expression existed way before the song, we’ll assume that I can use the phrase without referring to John Mayer. Have you ever read beer reviews that described a certain beer as “interesting”? Or have you read a beer review [...]
I drank this beer three or four weeks ago and put off writing my review for far too long. I guess a lot of you will have to wait until next winter to get it now. Sorry! I don’t normally hedge my bet like this, but I’m going to start off by telling you that I [...]
We’ve already reviewed Rochefort 10, which many of you (including Nate) couldn’t get because of state alcohol restrictions. 10 is 11.3% ABV, and many states only allow up to 10%, which is ironic given the name of the Rochefort that they can’t get. Anyway, I thought that I’d review the 8 so that some of [...]
Three Floyd’s makes some pretty good stuff. If you’re unfamiliar with this brewery, try to familiarize yourself with them if you have the opportunity. Here in Plainfield, IN, it’s not hard to get their stuff since they’re from Munster, IN. Their stuff is characteristically hoppy and bold. Here is my review of their Black Sun [...]
This week we are heeding our own wisdom and that of a reader, and drinking a beer that just might come in handy for any of your beer-vangelistic encounters this Friday. Franziskaner’s Hefe-Weisse Dunkel should be easy enough to find for the inexperienced beer hunter, and should revive the winter-deadened nerves of those of us [...]
This is our third Chimay beer for this site. If you remember, Chimay is one of very few beers that are designated as Trappist Ales. (To find out more about Trappist Ales, click here.) Our first Chimay review was of their Red label. All three of them are similar but jump one percent ABV per version [...]
Now more than ever there is a wide variety of beer to be had. Never have we seen so much availability of beer on such a massive scale. Growth in technology allows for the shipping of of good, fresh beer to be had almost anywhere. The worldwide web allows everyone to hear about, read about, [...]
