After a couple of days in a row that got dangerously close to 90 degrees, on the night of this tasting, the temps took a small dip into the 70s, with evening temps going down into the high 40s. In other words, it was the perfect night for […]
Once again, G-LO darkened my doorstep with another request that I “split a beer”. Not one to be a bad neighbor, I begrudgingly (ok, so maybe not so begrudgingly) obliged. This bottle was the 2015 Stout X – Coffee from Boulevard Brewing’s Smokestack Series. Boulevard has been a favorite […]
If you read my review of the Bud Light Lime Lime-A-Rita, then you’re already aware that before I drank that swill, I had a bottle of Victory’s latest and greatest, i.e. their Kirsch Gose. Gose, which is pronounced Goes-uh, is a German beer style that goes back well […]
This past weekend, the urchins and I took my better half out for a bit of a pre-birthday celebration to Tir Na Nog, the latest Irish Pub to open in Cherry Hill. Its location has been a death knell to most of the occupants as this is now […]
It’s been an interesting late Winter / early Spring at the G-LO residence. On March 13, our long overdue kitchen renovation started, which of course means that we’ve been eating nothing but take-out for the past 6 weeks. I adore pizza, burgers, cheesesteaks and Chik-Fil-A as much as […]
Our relationship with Anderson Valley has been a rocky one. Over the past five years, we’ve reviewed eight of their beers, and our feelings about each of them has ranged from fair to middling. The beers haven’t been bad, but they haven’t been very memorable either. Meh all around is how […]
In a prior post, I noted how G-LO and I try to exemplify the great parents that we are by getting our boys together for a little fun on the weekend. On this particular day, while the boys were doing their thing, G-LO and I had an opportunity to […]
It’s once again time for the Brewer’s Plate, a major fundraising event for Fair Food, an organization dedicated to bringing healthy local food to the marketplace while promoting a humane and sustainable agriculture system for the region. Brewer’s Plate was the brainchild of Bill Covaleski, Brewmaster & President of Victory […]
As we do on the weekend, G-LO and I try to exemplify the great parents that we are by getting our boys together for a little fun. Oddly, this usually involves the boys cemented in front of a gaming station, while G-LO and I are ensconced at the […]
The other day, G-LO suggested that I come over to do a “quick” review. Not surprisingly, the “quick” review involving a single beer devolved into reviews of two additional whiskies, and then a few more drams just for good measure. Well, before the whisky nonsense, we sampled the […]
