At around 2AM Monday morning, a young college student in Philadelphia (we’ll call him AR) sent the following email to The Hip Flask and I:

Beer Review – Rock Art Jasmine Pale Ale

By G-LO on October 3, 2011 • ( 4 Comments )

I picked up this bottle of Rock Art Brewery’s Jasmine Pale Ale at Vic & Whit’s Sandwich Shop in Saco, Maine during our summer vacation this past August. To be honest, I don’t know much about this brewery, but since I liked the label and was intrigued by […]

Whisky Review – Johnnie Walker Red Label

By G-LO on September 30, 2011 • ( 7 Comments )

In case you haven’t noticed, this is the second whisk(e)y review that features a miniature bottle in the photo. Basically, I ran out of new whiskies to review (don’t be alarmed. I still have plenty left to drink), so while in the middle of a beer run two […]

The Wookie posted a rather spooky photo of The Balvenie’s GoldenCask 14 Single Malt Scotch Whisky yesterday. In his post, he mentioned that he would eventually follow up his photo with an actual review of this whisky. Ater sending The Wookie a quick note about his photo yesterday afternoon, […]

I guess it’s true what they say. Three times really is a charm! This is the third time that we’re writing about the Jim Beam Devil’s Cut Bourbon (1st time: The Wookie, 2nd time: Yours Truly), but this time, one of us is actually going to taste it! […]

Beer Review – Southern Tier Pumking Imperial Pumpkin Ale

By G-LO on September 21, 2011 • ( 15 Comments )

Sudsy Sunday. The Pour House in Westmont, NJ. Five guys. Eagles versus Atlanta on the plasma TVs. We each had a few beers. I had three and sampled at least three more. I was a bit indecisive, but that’s ok, because the bartender will usually let us sample […]

Whisky Review – Suntory Yamazaki 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky

By G-LO on September 16, 2011 • ( 23 Comments )

I first had the Yamazaki 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky five years ago, when I attended my first Scotch Malt Whisky Society Extravaganza event at The Union League in Philadelphia. Since that first tasting, I have had this whisky on numerous occasions, but I’ve never had the opportunity […]

Beer Review – Great Lakes Eliot Ness Amber Lager

By G-LO on September 14, 2011 • ( 10 Comments )

When someone mentions Eliot Ness to me, the first things that come to mind are Chicago, Al Capone, Prohibition, and of course, Brian DePalma’s 1987 film, The Untouchables. What I didn’t know was that in December of 1935, Eliot Ness was appointed Safety Director of Cleveland, Ohio. So […]
