Checking under every bottlecap for the best beers around.
I picked up a 4-pack of Taproom Series #22 - "Pink Flamingo" while visiting Artisanal Brew Works over the weekend. Unfortunately, I started the day off by spilling my wife's beer all over myself while adjusting our table - but "Pink Flamingo" (and a replacement beer for my wife) cheered us right back up! Artisanal's Taproom... Continue Reading →
Deeter Pilsner is perfect when enjoyed out on the hop farm. Brewer: Indian Ladder Farm Brewery / Greenport Harbor Brewing collaboration Rating: 84/100 Comments: Clear, medium straw color, with long-lasting white head. Aroma is of bready malts and lemon. The flavor is clean with lemon peel and some malty sweetness that balances everything out. It's... Continue Reading →
I sat down to watch college football today and needed a beer. I grabbed a Rothaus Pils out of my fridge with the thought that a German pilsner is pretty much the perfect style for sports on a hot afternoon - ignoring the fact that I'm indoors in the air conditioning. Rothaus Pils has a... Continue Reading →
I'm going to get this out of the way right from the start: this American Imperial IPA plays second fiddle to no beer. I tried to take a wonderful picture of the can with a trophy to emphasize this, but alas, I am no photographer and without a stock of props to make my artistic... Continue Reading →
This morning marks the first Saturday of English Premier League soccer action for the 2018/19 season, and my beloved Cardiff City's first season in the league since 2013/14! Given the time difference between the U.K. and Washington, DC - I woke up early and glued myself to the couch for a long day of footy.... Continue Reading →
Must Kuld, an American porter brewed by Estonian brewery Põhjala, lives up to its name - Black Gold. The beer pours almost black into the glass and has a pleasing silky texture and mouthfeel thanks to the lactose during the brewing process. Its aroma has undertones of chocolate and sweet honey, but leads with wonderfully... Continue Reading →
Hard to review this one in an unbiased way with Tallgrass Brewing being one of my favorites, and it being located in Manhattan, Kansas - home of my alma mater, Kansas State. Then again, you had to know that taste is a subjective thing - and you're here to read my tastes and hope they... Continue Reading →
After spending a hefty $10.99 to get a bottle of Brouwerij de Troch's Framboise Lambic, I was expecting to be awed by a satisfying Belgian framboise. I love kriek and framboise beers and, of course, Belgians have perfected the art of infusing beer with great flavors - and I mean literally any flavor you can... Continue Reading →
I'd like to introduce you to the first beer I ever drank in Dublin, Ireland. I walked into a pub my first day in the city looking to get my first taste of "homeland" Guinness, waltzed up to the bar and requested a pint of Guinness only to be told that they don't serve Guinness... Continue Reading →
An Italian staple beer, Nastro Azzurro is a solid Euro pale lager. It's a really pale, straw color and looks watered down in the glass. The aroma is light and balanced between malts and hop smells, with hints of grass and some green apple. The taste is just as delicate as the aroma. It's more... Continue Reading →
