Looking for something different, I picked up a six of the Oskar Blues Old Chub. We have tried their Gordon Ale, Mama’s Little Yellow Pils, and Dale’s Pale Ale (see G-LO’s reviews here and here), so Oskar Blues wasn’t an unknown commodity. And as far as a canned beer goes, Oskar Blues puts […]
A long while ago, I picked up a Boont Amber Ale in an effort to redeem Anderson Valley Brewing Company for the Summer Solstice. When we reviewed the Summer Solstice as a part of our summer can contest, we had come to the unfortunate conclusion that it was […]
I fished out the last of the Oktoberfests that I had accumulated in the run-up to HalloweinerFest. The last bottle was an Otter Creek Oktoberfest Autumn Ale. The ROK and the Wookie had reviewed the Otter Creek Summer Solstice. Here is what Otter Creek has to say about their Oktoberfest […]
A while ago, G-LO and I had split two bombers: the Bear Republic Ricardo’s Red Rocket Ale and the Lagunitas Hop Stoopid. While I had posted the review for the Red Rocket, I appear to have omitted the review of the Hop Stoopid. Lagunitas Brewing Company has quickly become […]
On the way back from Pappy’s house, I stopped by a beer distributor (oh, the joy of PA liquor laws) that specializes in sampler packs and picked up an Arcadia Ales sampler. In the pack was a little something for each of us, as the case contained the […]
In my search for a good pumpkin ale, I picked up a bottle of Wolaver’s Organic Pumpkin Ale. This is a relatively new release from the folks at Wolaver’s, a sort of sister brewery to Otter Creek, and both under the banner of Long Trail Brewing Company. Founded […]
On separate occasions, G-LO and I had the same great thought: buy a bottle of Orval Trappist Ale. This is another great product brought to America by the fine folks at Merchant du Vin. I have reviewed Merchant du Vin’s offerings from Samuel Smith, Westmalle, Ayinger, and Lindeman’s, so when […]
I reached into the can bin, pulled out the last can of Sly Fox Oktoberfest Lager, and thought that I should review it before it was gone. This was another autumn seasonal that I had purchased with the intent to share at HalloweinerFest. Sadly, I think I had refrigerated it, […]
On recent trip to Cherry Hill Liquors, I picked up a bottle of Captain Lawrence Xtra Gold American Tripel Ale. Since I enjoyed their Captain’s Reserve Imperial IPA, I thought I would try yet another Craft Beer offering from the Captain Lawrence Brewing Company. From the Captain Lawrence site:
Looking for a big bottle to share with G-LO, I went over to the local store and purchased a bottle of Sierra Nevada’s Southern Hemisphere. Sadly, this is where the story goes off the rails. In my haste, I neglected to check the date on the bottle, and it […]
