This beer is fairly well known because it is atypical of a Belgian beers. Belgians are known for their hop restraint. Lambics even use stale hops that have had the acid degraded over time. Not Gaspar. In fact, the claim is that this beer has 115 IBUs of hops. IBUs are international bitter units. As [...]
I’m probably a bit late on chiming in about this one, but I found it so disturbing that I just had to post about it. Here is the situation: a mother of two and part-time model from Singapore will be the first woman to be caned under Islamic law. Two years ago, Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno [...]
Yes, I know that is an old, overused, and Disney-cameo-riddled reference. I couldn’t resist. Saturday we are having our normal Sip it with us Day, and we will be having something from Flying Dog (so, that makes sense of the reference that I made). Hopefully, many of you have access to Flying Dog’s Gonzo Imperial [...]
Relax, beanie weenies…I’m not talking about anyone’s junk in this article. Once again, I’m actually ranting a bit, a not too surprising denouement to this literary plot called life.

Marmite is made of yeast extract. Well, to be exact, it is yeast waste (as you will see in Bob’s article and in the comments section) and actually, dead yeast.
Frequently, we post on our blogs about our favorite beers of the week, months, or years. I love finding out what people really love and have had to drink. But the nostalgia of this type of writing makes me anxious to create new possibilities for favorite beers, which is why I like that people post [...]
I have to profusely apologize about not having a Saturday beer up here. There is no excuse. This only leads me to restate what I wanted to say before: we will be posting a list of the future “Sip with us Saturday” beers on the site. Everyone will have time to find and procure the [...]
That was a mouth-full to write. Was this beer a mouth-full, too. I’m dying to try the chocolate version. Great Divide is one of those breweries, at least for me, that I tend to really like or really dislike their stuff. Let’s see about this one. The Aroma: Yeti had a fat, black body with [...]
