Checking under every bottlecap for the best beers around.
This is another beer that my uncle sent to me from his home outside of Houston in addition to Brazos Valley's 7 Spanish Angels, which I previously reviewed. I loved Parish Brewing's Ghost in the Machine (I've been seeing a ton of people post Other Half Brewing's version of that beer, but the original is... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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...

Kings County Brewers Collective has quickly become a brewery that I trust since I moved to New York, and they have a Penguins Session IPA series that really intrigued me so I picked up two of them - Penguins in Space and Penguins in Hyperspace. There are a couple others but I haven't tried them... Continue Reading →
It seems that the name for this comes from mutant hops that arise from deep in the fermenter, filled with alpha acids. I like to think that they name came from the Futurama episode...but either way, behold this Canadian brew: The Mutants Are Revolting, a session IPA from Ontario. Brewery: Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery (Barrie,... Continue Reading →
Here's the other IPA I was able to get from Great Notion in Portland, Superstar. Lumberjack, I think, character on this one. These characters have names and profiles on Great Notion's app. Apparently you can collect them and get points and rewards. It seems interesting, but I couldn't figure out how to submit purchases that... Continue Reading →
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 →
