Part of our “Yes, You can Can” series, Oskar Blues’s Ten Fidy, is a big beer. Ten Fidy is nine-fifty (9.5% ABV), which makes it a higher octane ale. It has to be one the best canned beers that I’ve ever had; hopefully, I’ll have a lot more data to add to that later on. [...]
I drank the Doppel-Sticke version of this beer in December and finally had this version in May. I believe the price was $2.99 for a 6% ABV bottle. I was able to taste it courtesy of Crown Liquors in Avon (thanks again for the beer!). Once again, I have to note that Alt means old; [...]
Ever love to have a nice, easy drinking, un-complicated beer during the summer? Many of us default to Heineken, Budweiser, or some other big name lager over the summer months. I, for one, don’t mind drinking a heavy stout on the hottest summer day. I know that I’m a weirdo, so I don’t expect the [...]
They must have changed this thing. Last I remember, this beer had lemongrass in it. Now it seems to have lemon zest instead. I distinctly remember not really caring for this ale last time I had it. So, they have made some good changes. Of course, the Grains of Paradise are still used. Grains of [...]
Canned beers are the screw top wines of the beer world. People tend to look at a beer in a can with suspicion in the same way that they look distrustfully at a wine without a cork (or even with a rubber cork). Unlike the wine world, it is easier to be iconoclastic in the [...]
So I made some pizza dough and am watching it rise. That thing doubled in forty minutes. I made the rest of my stuff and got the dough in the fridge (I was making grilled pizza, so I needed some stiffer dough). Even when I put the dough on the grill under intense heat, the [...]
Assemble beer patriots and join us for a long 4th of July summer day. Unfortunately my company, known for red vests with good old American flags on them are being really American…we’re working. However, the summer days are getting hotter, so we’re calling you to join us for an American made summer ale from Samuel [...]
Any time you have a beer that is 13%ABV, it is a big beer with which you’ve come face to face. How that 13% tastes depends on the drinker. I believe that I paid somewhere between $12-15 dollars for this 11.2 oz bottle (sometimes it’s hard to keep track, but I know that it was [...]
Do you feel like drinking one beer sometimes is like watching the underdog in the NCAA basketball tournament? Or maybe you feel like some of Mike Tyson’s (pre-ear incident) opponents. One drink and you are finished. Let me start by telling you all that there are many more people who are much more qualified than [...]
