A while ago, Miracle Max paid us a visit. During an evening of drinking and good company, I had expressed my disappointment with the Firestone Walker Fifteenth Anniversary Ale. There was nothing really wrong with the bottle. It was just that is leaned a little too heavily on barley […]
As a run-up to International Stout Day, I had the great pleasure of finding myself at Fitzgerald’s in Doolin, Ireland. Prior to our trip, my father-in-law had mentioned our travels to his softball/racquetball buddies and one of them had told him that O’Hara’s is the best stout in […]
As a part of a mixed six, I picked up a bottle of Weyerbacher’s Merry Monks. Since I have had several Weyerbacher’s (the Double Simcoe IPA and the Slam Dunkel) in the past, and heard G-LO sing the praises of the Merry Monks, I thought I would give […]
While out looking for a Halloween costume for the boy, I found myself in the same shopping center as Total Wine. So, I thought that I while I was getting something for him, I might as well get something for me. As a part of a mixed six, I […]
A couple weeks ago, a very good friend of the family came over with her two boys for a casual Sunday dinner (I made homemade pizza!). Since our friend is a huge Craft Beer fan (she definitely qualifies as one of Barley’s Angels), I took her visit as […]
This post was inspired by by our friend John LaRue of “The Droid Your Looking For” blog. Here is the first part of John’s “Fun With Netflix Viewer Reviews: Volume 4” post which explains what he set out to do: It’s time yet again for the article that’s […]
At the end of the summer, I found myself at the Jersey Shore with my wife’s family. Now I’m not saying that they drive me to drink but I did walk about half a mile with severe sciatic pain to find a liquor store and pick up a […]
I didn’t plan on having a beer last Tuesday night, or even writing up a review, but the smell of freshly baked chocolate cake (none for me sadly) was so overwhelming, that I suddenly craved an uber-dark beer. Luckily, I had recently picked up a mixed six pack […]
Ever since I started down the Craft Beer road a few years ago, I have had a difficult time embracing the Pumpkin Ale beer style. While many of them smell delicious, I have found the actual flavors to be somewhat disappointing. Where does all that spicy goodness in […]
It’s not often that we review a beer or whisk(e)y on more than one occasion, but since people kept mentioning how much they love the Trappistes Rochefort 8 wherever I turned on the interwebz (the blogs, Instagram, Twitter, etc.) a couple weeks ago, I thought it was about […]
