Beer Review – Dogfish Head Chicory Stout

By G-LO on February 18, 2011 • ( 1 Comment )

Here is yet another beer that I have had on several occasions, but never took the time to review. My first experience with Dogfish Head’s Chicory Stout was two years ago, when I had it on draught at Champps in Marlton, NJ. I remember enjoying this beer immensely, but since […]

Vertical Beer Tasting Q&A

By G-LO on February 17, 2011 • ( 13 Comments )

Since I’ve been going back and forth with our friends at Alcohol and Aphorisms about the effects of aging on high ABV beer (I often find them to be a bit too boozy for my tastes), I thought I would add to the discussion by posting a brief […]

Beer Review – Smuttynose “Finestkind” IPA

By G-LO on February 15, 2011 • ( 6 Comments )

What the hell is wrong with me? I have had the Smuttynose “Finestkind” IPA on numerous occasions and have yet to write a review! I’m not exactly sure when I first had this beer, but I know that it was at least two years ago. The Smuttynose “Finestkind” […]

Beer Review – Bell’s Expedition Stout

By G-LO on February 9, 2011 • ( 6 Comments )

Since it looks like the bitter cold weather is back, I’ve decided to try a dark and menacing beer this evening. Though 27 degrees is definitely cold (the current temp out there), I really shouldn’t complain, because it’s not going to get above 30 degrees in Kalamazoo, MI […]

Beer Review – Green Flash Hop Head Red Ale

By G-LO on February 8, 2011 • ( 15 Comments )

Green Flash: a momentary green appearance of the uppermost part of the sun’s disk at sunrise or sunset that results from atmospheric refraction. Green Flash Brewing Company is yet another San Diego based craft brewer. They were founded in 2002 by the husband and wife team of Mike […]

By G-LO on February 5, 2011 • ( 7 Comments )

On Sunday, January 30th at 6PM, the Crafty Day crew (Patty and Rob, Sue and Rash, Mrs. G-LO and I) gathered at Adsum for a long overdue dinner. We were there for well over 3 hours and consumed 7 appetizers, 6 entrees, 5 desserts, and drank many beers, […]

Restaurant Review – Butcher and Singer, Center City Philadelphia

By G-LO on February 2, 2011 • ( 5 Comments )

Let me start off by saying that I am not the biggest fan of steakhouses. Overpriced and overhyped is how I would describe the vast majority of them. $39 for a 12 ounce steak that doesn’t include the $11 spear of broccoli or the $11 french fries? Much like […]
