Boulevard’s Collaboration No. 1 is one unique brew. Besides the fact that it is the brewery’s first ever collaboration,

Koningshoeven Dubbel is a special beer…actually all beer brewed with passion is special…but Koningshoeven brews are truly unique, flavor aside.  To begin with, they are a Trappist brewery.  Only seven breweries in the world can use that trademarked word (Trappist).  In order to be a Trappist brewery, the beer must be brewed under the supervision [...]

I love the simple goodness of this stout.  I’d drink it over Guinness any day of the week.  Many among us are surprised that this beer hasn’t achieved more popularity.  Well, we are going to try to raise Murphy’s awareness this week.  It just so happens that it will happen on Saturday this time around. [...]

I suppose it is only human nature to want to outdo your neighbor, at least in a survival of the fittest mentality.  However, in this world capitalist economy we lose our way.  Case in point, within seconds of my father putting his mower away his next door neighbor hastily makes sure to remove his retired [...]

Awhile back we received an e-mail informing us about a beer festival in Arizona.  Essentially, the e-mail ran along these lines: “If you are so inclined, please promote this event on your site.”  I’ve gotten a recent stream of e-mails telling us about this beer dinner or that event, and I want to scream when [...]

The names given to their beers can be quirky, zany, even silly.  But once you drink some of their stuff, Mikkeller becomes memorable.  I wouldn’t exactly call their beers cheap; in fact, many might call them overpriced.  I don’t know.  What I do know is that I always look forward to drinking a brew by [...]

This coming Wednesday is not just any other Wednesday, it is Ash Wednesday.  If you are unfamiliar with Ash Wednesday you certainly are NOT familiar with Mardi Gras.  Ash Wednesday begins a season for Christians called Lent, typically a 40 day period leading up to Easter,  in which adherents focus on the principals of their [...]

Here is a continuation of our series on what factors affect the price of beer. The law of supply and demand seems like a simple concept.  Almost everyone takes the idea for granted, but it’s amazing how little we actually think about it.  In a consumer based economy, this law is a pillar to purchasing.

Do you guys and girls go to bars much?  One of the first things that people assume when they find out I love beer and co-write a beer website is that I’ve must have been to any number of beer hotspots.  When I tell them that I’m not really that interested in it, they seem [...]
