Checking under every bottlecap for the best beers around.
To Øl, meaning "Two Beers" in Danish, is a brewery I discovered over the last few years. I regret not finding out about them before I visited Copenhagen because I would have stopped by one of their bars for sure (don't worry, I made it to some other local breweries while there). We have a... Continue Reading →
Vanitas is a double dry-hopped buckwheat baklava imperial IPA with pistachios and almonds.
Honestly, this one had me pretty nervous. I had never had any Brut beers before, but I had read a couple of articles about them. We happened to see this sitting on a low shelf and thought its can art stood out. I'm always happy to try something I've never had, but I usually have... 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 →
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.

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 →
Chimay, Belgium is home to one of the most famous abbey breweries in the world in the Scourmont Abbey which produces the Chimay line of beers. Being their 150th anniversary they released Speciale Cent Cinquante in commemoration, and they have lived up to their legacy in every way. Firstly, this will grab hold of your nostrils...

This bottle is as intimidating as the name and is even looks the part when poured into a glass. It's a dark purple/red color and looks thick. The smells are mostly of fruits of the same color as the liquid; cherry, some blackberry, plum, and grapes. This one smells much like a wine would smell,... Continue Reading →
