When it comes to Pumpkin Beers, they boggle my mind. I really want to love them, but I rarely find the right kind. When I saw Fegley’s Devious, my curiosity was piqued, Cause their Insidious was delicious, and oh such a treat! When I filled up my glass, […]
The other day, I found myself on a layover in Charlotte, NC. I had about an hour to change terminals and grab dinner. Just outside my gate, I found the Carolina Beer Co. and grabbed a 22oz Mecktoberfest on tap. While not a big fan of the Märzen style, I […]
Ahhhhh Autumn! Kids are back in school. Shorter days and longer nights, i.e. the end of daylight savings time. The NFL and NHL are back in session. Halloween and Thanksgiving. All of that stuff is great, but since Craft Beer is a muy importante subject on this here […]

I wish there was an interesting story about how I acquired this can of Otter Creek’s Fresh Slice White IPA, but sadly there isn’t one. During a recent lunch time Craft Beer run to The Foodery, I noticed this bright and cheery little can in their beer fridge […]
