At a “business” lunch at the Good Dog, I had the most pleasant opportunity to order a second beer. I settled on a Lagunitas IPA for two reasons. First, I had had other Lagunitas offerings before and thoroughly enjoyed them. The second reason was that the Lagunitas was […]
The brewers at Dogfish Head, Stone, and Victory have joined forces and created a beer which they call Saison du BUFF (BUFF = Brewers United for Freedon of Flavor). Rather than try to sum up the history of this beer, I’ll just let the brewers tell the story […]
On a recent trip to my favorite beer retailer, I picked up a six-pack of the Otter Creek Solstice Session Ale. Until now, I was not familiar with the term “Session Beer”. I checked in with our friends at the Beer Advocate and I was quickly up to […]
Since fall is right around the corner, and since today’s temperature hasn’t gone above 75 (first time in over 2 months!), I thought I would change things up and review a dark beer. I usually like Smuttynose beers, so I’m going with their Robust Porter for today’s brew […]

It’s Wednesday night and with my corporate travel program, I had just enough miles to qualify for a trip to Pittsburgh. Actually, I had a quick overnight trip to the Burgh for work and found myself in the Ruth’s Chris bar with a little time on my hands. […]
A new distributor opened in the neighborhood and allows for the purchase of split six packs. As I perused the aisles, I was drawn to other offerings from Merchant du Vin. Always a fan of their Samuel Smith’s, I thought I would give the Lindemans Lambics a try. […]
