I love singles. Just so you know, I’m not talking about the mass e-mails that everybody gets from singles net. No, I’m talking about single bottles of beer. Variety is the spice of life, and my beer spice rack overfloweth. Before I forget, Blue Moon’s website concept and look are very cool. You can even [...]
Distinction, a necessary quality for the successful brewery, is certainly possessed by the quirky Schmaltz Brewery, creators of the fine line of He’brew beers. With the uncontested market space of Kosher beer, the brewery is able to run with their imagination in both brewing and marketing, which is being taken to an admirable level as [...]
One of the early brews that we posted on the site was a DFH brew. I so cleverly named the title Gone Dogfishin’ (man, that seems like ages ago). At any rate, the beer was Raison D’ Etre, a French philosophical term that means reason for being. The Raison D’ Extra is the extreme version [...]
Personally, beer distribution is as confusing as complex algorythms. Case in point: Voodoovator by Atwater brewery. The Atwater brewery is located in Detroit, Michigan, however the beer is not available just 50 miles south in Toledo beer shops. So when I happened to be up in Michigan this past weekend, I made it a point [...]
Shipyard’s Export Ale, is techinically classified as an American Pale. Semantically speaking, designations for beer can be quite broad, even misleading due to the beautiful artistic freedom that exists in the beer industry. Consider the contrast between Rolling Rock, a self professed Pale Ale (I’d beg to differ!) and Sierra Nevada’s Pale Ale. The flavors [...]
This guest series has actually been written by Howard, a reader and frequent commenter/educator here on Thank Heaven for Beer. Since his experience far outweighs ours, we thought it only fitting to open up the floor. Thanks Howard! Packaging For my shipping, I buy the Duck brand bubble wrap at Wal-Mart for $10-$11. It’s 100 [...]
Some of you have been on this blog long enough to know that I’ve stated my dislike of Arrogant Bastard multiple times. The beer simply strikes me the wrong way and is far too bitter without having enough to back it up. However, I still thought it was my duty to try Double Bastard from [...]
This week, if you wish to participate in our weekly Sip It With Us Saturday weekly community beer tasting, you’ll be pruchasing Shipyard’s Export Ale. In the past we’ve delved into Shipyard product when we sipped on Old Thumper (formerly by Ringwood Brewery). Old Thumper fared well, 3 out of five stars–we shall see how [...]
MillerCoors recently recalled cans of cold Coors Light after the company determined the batch, brewed at the MillerCoors Georgia brewery was “subpar.” A conspiracy theorist at heart, I have spent countless hours contemplating the actual reason for the recall. Feel free to add any as you see fit! 10. Neanderthal like Coors Light consumers were [...]
It seems to me to be a fair assumption that we’ve all see at least snippets of the Oscars, Golden Globes, or some other such actors/actresses award show. Brad Pitt, Al Paccino, and many other actors have received accolades at these awards. But I happen to think that the best actors are being overlooked. No, [...]
