Checking under every bottlecap for the best beers around.
I love the color purple...and lavender...and lemon...and beer, so Springdale's Lavenade was a pretty easy sell to me. Could a beer sound any more refreshing, honestly? Brewery: Springdale Beer Company (Framingham, MA) Rating: 86/100 Comments: Pours a slightly hazy golden color with fizzy white head that dissipated very quickly. I pick up lemon, lavender, honey,...

I typically try not to fall into hype machines, but I see so many people raving about Great Notion's beers on the internet that when I saw my local bottle shop announce they had just gotten some of their cans here in New York, I snatched up my keys and went right away. The first... Continue Reading →
To be honest, there's no great story behind this review. It was the Logical Conclusion to my trip to my local beer store that I'd end up taking a can of this interesting looking IPA home with me to enjoy while watching the NBA playoffs. Thumbs up for me! Brewery: Threes Brewing (Brooklyn, NY) Rating:... Continue Reading →
Chainsaws And Kittens was purchased on the strength of the name and can art, as well as my interest in lesser known beer styles. I might do a longer post about the style itself, but Grisettes are a sub-category of the Saison. They are similarly dry and light. They were brewed mostly for miners, and... Continue Reading →

Fort Orange Brewing is a local brewery for my wife and I, and we've grown to really love visiting. We are allowed to bring our dog with us, and there are quite a few great options to order delivery from so we like to set up shop at a table before ordering some food from... Continue Reading →
My father-in-law travels down to West Point for an Army football game every year with some of his buddies, typically stopping at a brewery or two on the way there or back, and The Peekskill Brewery is one they've stopped by and mentioned to me. When I saw a 6-pack of their Valley Life New... Continue Reading →
I saw this bottle, with its understated brown cardboard-like label, and was sold. It just called to me in the way certain bottles or cans of beer will sometimes. Barn Beer Wild Ale turned out to be a great purchase! Our apartment has been without A/C for the entire summer and this beer was perfect... Continue Reading →
The noble wombat has been my favorite animal since I did a project on them for Biology class in high school, and Thin Man Brewery has brought that animal into the realm of my favorite beverage - beer. Trial By Wombat has a can to remember, and is a fantastic beer to boot. Aren't wombats... Continue Reading →
