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 […]
I looked on the front label. Then I looked on the back label. I even looked on the label that’s wrapped around the neck of the bottle. I was in search of the answer to this question: “What’s the ABV?”. Somewhat frustrated, I ignored the ABV question and […]
The Wedding Slinger, a cocktail that we discussed briefly in our review of “Brooklyn Spirits: Craft Cocktails and Stories from the World’s Hippest Borough“, takes a seriously potent and delicious cocktail (i.e. the Manhattan), and adds a healthy dose of Ginger Ale to it, thus transforming it into […]
This review of the Innis & Gunn Rum Aged is Beer Review #2 of the three Innis & Gunn beers we received in the mail a few weeks back. At first I thought that Limpd had already reviewed this one, but upon closer inspection, it appears that he […]

In preparation for New Year’s Eve, I picked up what I thought might be a couple of good beers for the not so beer crazy crowd who might be looking more for a one-off dessert beer rather than a night of hop bombs or Belgian tripels. So, I […]
The other day, G-LO came over for our regular session (it’s so important that we keep up our workout routine!) and brought with him a couple of beers to try. One of them was the Founders Dark Penance, an Imperial Black IPA. The Dark Penance is a Fall […]
During a recent visit to the local Wegman’s Wine and Spirits Shoppe, I noticed that they had quite a few winter type Ales in the “build your own six pack” section of the Craft Beer aisle. While there were several that I’ve had before and decided to buy […]
