Checking under every bottlecap for the best beers around.
A couple of years ago, we spent a week traveling around Vermont visiting breweries and generally relaxing in the beautiful mountains. We'd heard of Rock Art, but they weren't super high on our list of places to visit. We ended up stopping in because we were nearby - and we still talk about it today... 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 →
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,...

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 →
Fort Orange Brewing is a local brewery for my wife and I, and we've grown to really love visiting. We are allowed to bring our dog with us, and there are quite a few great options to order delivery from so we like to set up shop at a table before ordering some food from... Continue Reading →
Geyser Gose is a collaboration between two breweries I typically have good luck with. Two Roads Brewing brews quite a few varieties of gose that are all pretty good, and Evil Twin (founded/owned by the twin brother of Mikkeller's founder/brewer) pretty much always has delicious beers - regardless of how crazy some of their names/ingredients...
