Checking under every bottlecap for the best beers around.
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 →
I've driven by Hermit Thrush's taproom in Brattleboro, VT but haven't been able to stop in yet, unfortunately. I know I'll definitely stop in the next time I'm going through town though, and Brattlebeer Wild Ale helped make that a surety. This wild ale is brewed with local apples, and it's really evident - in... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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,...

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 →
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 →
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 →
