It just would not be proper to dismiss the significance that saturated this day the moment the sun peaked it’s warming head over the eastern horizon this morning. Today is not just a good day to drink beer (as was yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that, and…) but it is [...]
Beer become more endeared when the consumer recognizes the subtle differences that distinguishes one variety from another as expressions of artistic creativity and not just beer. This week’s beer is a great example, as it showcases a brewer who attempts a masterpiece outside of the box. Such attempts requires either enormous faith, guts, or both, [...]
As I’ve advertised on the site before, I went (with Nate) to Munster, Indiana, for Dark Lord Day to get the much coveted Imperial Stout. This took up a full calendar day of my life. In all honesty, it consumed more time than I’d like to admit. In fact, my partner in the blog came [...]
No, this isn’t a recap of today’s Latin Mass, although drinking this beer–Delerium Nocturnum, brewed by Brouwerij Huyghe–could prove to be a spiritual experience for many. My mood was right for the imbibement of this brew. After a tiring day, evening gardening, and a later than normal bedtime for our quiver full of young ones, [...]
Stone is a company that makes some stuff I normally really like or dislike. I’ve enjoyed their Vertical Epic Series beers for a couple of years now, and they make some other good products, too. Their IPA is one of the few beers that they make where I find myself somewhere in the middle. The [...]
Part of the curse of being a beer geek is the incessant need for new and different beers. How could this possibly be a curse?, you might ask. You might live in a state that is either hostile to alcohol consumption (i.e. Oklahoma) or your neck of the woods just does not have the greatest [...]
As I said, I consider this a go-to beer. That is; upon purchasing, I do not expect to be floored by a magnificent flavor, but for the price, it’s great enjoyable beer. The Pour: This beer pours a dark ruby brown color with a decent head that disappears quickly. I noticed that the head had [...]
You may find it interesting to see a restaurant/brewpub shipping its beer far distances, but here was a California beer in an Indianapolis liquor store. It is increasingly (and happily) common for brewpubs to wear more than one hat. I’m glad to say that this is really paying off for some brewers. Many of you [...]
My favorite thing by Dark Horse thus far–that is what I can say about this beer. We’ve already reviewed quite a few of their brews. Of course, I’m a sucker for Imperial Stouts. At 12%ABV, this beer is a pretty heavy hitter. Being that I shared this with my wife and brother, it wasn’t too [...]
