Checking under every bottlecap for the best beers around.
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...

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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
I've been reviewing (and drinking) a lot of New England IPAs recently - reflecting the current craft beer market - but I was really looking forward to this witbier from another brewery within a half-hour drive from my apartment. Frog Alley's Wit Your Mom is a good example of a witbier, and a refreshing summer... Continue Reading →
I picked up a can of TV Party New England IPA at my go-to local beer store because the can caught my eye while sitting on the 'new stock' shelf. I've had a couple of other beers from Radiant Pig and they've all been pretty good so why not give another one a try? How... Continue Reading →
