I had to go to Jackson Hole for work and while there I had the chance to sample some of the local brews from the Snake River Brewing Company. The brewery was established in 1994. And, when the founders retired in 2007, the brewery was sold to Ted and […]
Recently Miracle Max paid us a visit. During an evening of drinking and good company, I had expressed my disappointment with the Firestone Walker Fifteenth Anniversary Ale. There was nothing really wrong with the bottle. It was just that is leaned a little too heavily on barley wines in […]
On a recent trip to Kress Liquors in search of the Duchesse De Bourgogne for my better half, I was shutout. Fortunately, I am one of those take lemons and make lemonade kind of guys so I was able to find a number of mild if not fruity […]
On a recent trip to Kress Liquors, I picked up a bottle of Firestone Walker Fifteenth Anniversary Ale. The tag on the shelf indicated that the bottle is rated 98 out of 100 so I was looking forward to another great Firestone product. I had had the Double Jack and the […]
In May, G-LO had worked The Dalmore’s UK PR firm for samples of their core range which includes the 12, 15, Cigar Malt, and 1263 King Alexander III expressions. Thankfully, their UK press agent was very kind and offered to pass along G-LO’s request to The Baddish Group (their US PR […]
On a trip to the Roger Wilco (formerly the Wine Warehouse), I picked up a bottle of Old Engine Oil Engineer’s Reserve from Harviestoun brewery. I had already had the Old Engine Oil and the Bitter & Twisted, so I was familiar with the brand and I really like […]
As a part of mixed six from Wegman’s, I picked up a bottle of Tanner’s Jack by Morland brewery. The brewery had been around since its founding in West Ilsley 1711. In the 1860’s, after a series of acquisitions, the brewery was moved to Abingdon and remained there until it was purchased by Greene […]
On Tuesday (it’s the new Friday, right?), I joined G-LO and the Wookie in a tasting of the Spéciale Belge. Not one to arrive empty handed (my Mama raised me right!), I brought over a bottle of Schlafly’s Tripel Ale. I had picked up the bottle on a […]
Awhile back, in anticipation of a neighborhood tasting, I headed out in search of two bottles to share. I was looking for something that I hadn’t had, and found the Tomintoul 16 and Glengoyne 17. While the Tomintoul didn’t live up to my expectations (curse those whiskies with […]
The other day, I hit the import wall at Kress Liquors. Among my selections was a bottle of Mahr’s Bräu Leicht. Mahr’s Bräu is a brewery in Bamberg, Germany that has been around since at least 1670 and owned by the same family since 1895. They produce a […]
