We’re always skeptical of low-calorie beers and their claims of “less-filling, same great taste”. If you’ve ever had one of the ubiquitous “light beers” from Miller, Coors, or Budweiser that to us taste more like a beer spritzer than an actual beer, then you know what we’re talking […]
A couple of weeks ago, we reviewed a Rosé Cider from Shacksbury of Vergennes, Vermont. Now we’re reviewing a Rosé-style Ale from Oskar Blues of Longmont, Colorado called Rosé for Daze. If you do a wee bit of internet research, you will quickly discover that pink (or as […]
Oskar Blues JAHVanilla Barrel-Aged Ten FIDY Imperial Stout. That’s a big name for a beer that comes in a really big can (the brewer calls this 19.2 ounce vessel a stovepipe. Abraham Lincoln would be proud!). And if all that weren’t big enough for ya, it has an […]

If you’ve been poking around the blogosphere and the interwebz in search of Craft Beer knowledge over the past couple years, then you are probably aware that
