Checking under every bottlecap for the best beers around.
Milkshake. IPA. Milkshake IPA. I, like many craft beer lovers, can't get enough IPA and most of it's variations like New England, West Coast, Imperial, Dry-hopped, Double Dry-hopped, etc. but Milkshake IPA is a subset that I haven't tried as much. Love Potion #4's can jumped out at me at the bottle shop and peaches... Continue Reading →
We're not professional photographers over here, but we feel like we're getting better! We wanted to experiment with a bit of an 'action shot' for this one. How can there be action when it's a still photo, you ask? We don't know; that's a bit philosophical for our beer blog, but look! the beer is... Continue Reading →
The town where I was born is nicknamed "Little Sweden" because the overwhelming majority of its people are descended from its original settlers from Värmland province in Sweden. The town hosts Svensk Hyllningsfest to celebrate that heritage and you'll see the traditional Dala horses everywhere. Fika, a milk/sweet stout with coffee, hazelnut, and cinnamon, spoke...

I got this beer at one of my favorite drinking establishments - The Skellduggery. I should explain though. The Skellduggery is my father-in-law's garage - you see, a Skell is slang for a vagrant or small-time criminal sometimes used in the New York City area, especially Staten Island which is where he's from. Also, his... Continue Reading →
Anyone that knows me (or has read through some of the earlier posts in this journal) knows that I love Fall and I love pumpkin beers! Unfortunately, last year was a crazy year moving states and I never made it anywhere to have a pumpkin beer. This year, I saw my bottle shop post on... Continue Reading →
I'm slowly going through Radiant Pig's portfolio of beers after having several positive drinking experiences since discovering them - and how could I not go with Own The Night IPA with the cute, trouble-making raccoon on the can? Brewery: Radiant Pig Craft Beers (Brooklyn, NY) Rating: 87/100 Comments: Own the Night pours a fairly hazy... Continue Reading →
My wife and I were in Bennington, Vermont to have lunch with family and stopped into a local liquor store because we like to check out stores whenever we cross the border from our home in Upstate New York since they might have a different selection of beers. We've had quite a few different offerings... Continue Reading →
There are a few breweries and beers that have a reputation that evoke a certain reverence in beer fans. Some of these reputations are born of their overall rarity whether due to seasonality, price point, or regional or even brewpub-only availability; some are because they're trailblazers in a style of beer, but nearly all of...

Listen, I love IPAs of every style and New England IPAs in particular are everywhere and I can sometimes go too long without drinking other styles. Other Half is well-known in the IPA fan community, but when I saw they had a Kölsch out - I really wanted to try it. I hadn't heard of... Continue Reading →
Some people in the craft beer community refer to something called a "porch bomb" - a package full of beer that arrives on their porch because someone shipped it to them. My aunt and uncle living just outside of Houston recently surprised me with a porch bomb of my own, full of some of my... Continue Reading →
