Smuttynose was my gateway brewery into the wonderful world of Craft Beer. It all started around 6 or 7 years ago when I had my first sip of their Finestkind IPA. I was hooked immediately and have never looked back. I immediately started exploring the rest of their […]
It’s not often that we get to try a whiskey within just a few months of its release, so whenever the opportunity arises to get our hands on a sample, we jump on it! The beauty of trying a newly released whiskey is that there are very few reviews […]
To further my education on sours, I have followed G-Lo’s lead and picked up the Monk’s Cafe Flemish Sour Ale, the Cuvée des Jacobins Flemish Sour Ale, the Duchesse De Bourgogne Flemish Red Ale and the Rodenbach Original. Some of this education has been met with great success (The Duchesse and […]
Recently, after meeting G-LO for lunch, I stopped in The Foodery and put together a mixed six. One of the bottles was Innis & Gunn’s Rum Cask. I selected the bottle as a result of the beautiful amber color that beckoned through the clear glass. It didn’t hurt that I […]
Since today is Valentine’s Day, I thought posting a review of a beer called “Love Buzz” would be most appropriate. Anchorage Brewing Company’s Love Buzz Saison is Craft Beer #2 from the Mike and Linda Craft Beer Christmas Present series of reviews. Beer #1 in this series was the […]

Looking for a couple of bombers to share, I went over to Victor’s Liquors and picked up a bottle of Wynona’s Big Brown Ale from Voodoo Brewery Co. Voodoo was founded in 2009 and is located in Meadville, Pa (a town about 40 miles from Erie, PA). While a […]
While doing a bit of Craft Beer/Wine/Whisky gift shopping over the 2012 holidays, I noticed that Green Flash has finally released 12 ounce versions of their Le Freak ale. Since I have yet to have a lackluster beer from this brewery, I just had to pick up a […]
Life 2.0. It’s a concept that I’ve been talking about over drinks with the guys for the past couple years. Life 2.0 represents my dream of one day finding a career that (a) makes me look forward to Monday mornings, and (b) enables me to pay the bills […]
Recently, I assembled a mixed six with a decidedly English bent. One of the bottles was the Fuller’s ESB. . Now, we had a lengthy discussion regarding aging when I came across a 2010 Fuller’s Vintage Ale and with the help of Miracle Max, we put that theory […]
