Thanks to Scott from Manland, who got me three bottles of Life & Limb. They were flown in especially for me (now that’s a hook-up). At any rate, I could barely wait to try one of them, so I had it on Saturday (I got them Thursday) for an early lunch. As many of you [...]
13 malts, 13 hops, 13 percent ABV…100% great deal. I paid $5.99 for this 22-ounce bottle of beer at Whole Foods (actually, I got a 20% discount off that). When I thought about it, I really got about 5-6 beers for the $5.99 that I paid. Twenty-two ounces is almost 2 beers, and 13% is [...]
After the Christmas rush, it’s always nice to relax. Luckily, it’s a three day weekend for those of you who don’t have a slave-driving boss. For others…well, I’m sorry. Relaxation is one of the most simple human pleasures possible. No amount of invention, business, or excitement can, in a sustainable way, match the sheer joy [...]
Intro: You are probably familiar with the beer scientist, my bro Mike, but this is my official debut on Thank Heaven for Beer as Rich, the Beer Connoisseur. As most of you know, Mike left cold, cloudy Indiana for warm, sunny California. I am still in the frigid Midwest, but with my location, I have access [...]
From the first deviation off the path of Macro beer into the brave new world of craft beer, the adventure of tasting new beers never grows old, as there is an insatiable desire in the creative appetite of craft brewers to avoid staleness at all costs. Great breweries are always adding to their line-up great [...]
What more could a man (or woman) ask for? Here is it, Christmas; one of the few times that even the miserly employers of the world give most of the working minions the day off to enjoy with family. A time of warmth, mutual love, and time together. Most of us have worried or dreaded [...]
It’s always fun to meet people in person whom you’ve “met” online. Nothing replaces the reality of actual presence. Yesterday I got to meet Scott from Manland. He was only in town for a very short time, and he was doing more of a swing by than a hang out. Of course, we weren’t able [...]
Troegs Mad Elf Review: A pretty good Christmas brew!
Is it just me, or is genuine camaraderie hard to find these days? The virtual world may seem a viable avenue for fellowship, but it is generally fleeting. Don’t believe me? Ask your Xanga account… Of all the social networking venues I’ve been a part of, none have afforded such a real sense of camaraderie [...]
L’Chaim, indeed. Although the ladies might feel left out due to the fact that there is no Bat Mitzvah beer to drink, let’s give He’brew a break and try this beer anyway. This 13th Anniversary Ale is huge. 13 hops, 13 malts (and still Kosher?), and 13 percent ABV sounds like a lot of beer [...]
