By G-LO on October 13, 2011 • ( 9 Comments )

I am slowly working my way through the latest PBS documentary by Ken Burns called Prohibition. This three part documentary that covers the history of the Temperance Movement in the USA clocks in at just under 6 hours. I’m half way through part three and am enjoying it […]

By G-LO on October 7, 2011 • ( 4 Comments )

A lively discussion took place at the Beer & Whiskey Brothers blog when this beer was first introduced. In a nutshell, some thought the label was gross, some trust Smuttynose and would definitely try it, and others could care less about the label and just don’t like Belgian-style […]

I picked up this bottle of Rock Art Brewery’s Jasmine Pale Ale at Vic & Whit’s Sandwich Shop in Saco, Maine during our summer vacation this past August. To be honest, I don’t know much about this brewery, but since I liked the label and was intrigued by […]

Beer Review – Southern Tier Pumking Imperial Pumpkin Ale

Sudsy Sunday. The Pour House in Westmont, NJ. Five guys. Eagles versus Atlanta on the plasma TVs. We each had a few beers. I had three and sampled at least three more. I was a bit indecisive, but that’s ok, because the bartender will usually let us sample […]

When someone mentions Eliot Ness to me, the first things that come to mind are Chicago, Al Capone, Prohibition, and of course, Brian DePalma’s 1987 film, The Untouchables. What I didn’t know was that in December of 1935, Eliot Ness was appointed Safety Director of Cleveland, Ohio. So […]

On the Friday before Labor Day, one of my colleagues decided to take the bull by the horns and made a management decision: we would be closing the office at 3PM to get a jump on the holiday weekend. As luck would have it, our good friend The […]

Around 11PM on the night we returned from our vacation, Limpd stopped by with a bottle of beer that I just had to try… While browsing the aisles of a new Center City Philadelphia beer store (can’t recall the name), he stumbled upon this beer with the long […]

Beer Review – Breckenridge Summer Bright Ale

Looking for a summer beer, I picked up a six pack of the Breckenridge Summer Bright Ale. Now, we had heard great things about Breckenridge and were somewhat disappointed with the Vanilla Porter but I thought I would give them another try. From the

Beer Review – Maine Beer Company’s Peeper Ale

By G-LO on August 24, 2011 • ( 15 Comments )

I had some beer related plans for my family vacation to Maine: a visit to the Allagash Brewery in Portland and a visit to Smuttynose in Portsmouth, NH. Although I didn’t get to visit the breweries, I did have several opportunities to do some New England beer hunting. […]
