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 […]
Way back in early August, we received an email from a woman named Miriam, asking if we’d be interested in working with her company to help promote their product. The company’s name is Absinthes.com (they are based in Germany) and they claim to be Europe’s #1 Absinthe vendor. […]
Quick recap… In mid January, I purchased a Compass Box sampler set that contained five of their core expressions. I have so far reviewed the Asyla (loved it!), the Oak Cross (the jury is still out), and The Peat Monster (fan-freakin-tastic!). This time around, I will be reviewing […]

I just happened to stop by G-Lo’s one day (truth be told, it may have been more of a planned session than just stopping over and I may have had a bottle or two under each arm but I digress) and never a poor host, he offered up a […]
A couple of weeks ago, G-LO received the following four whisky samples from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society of America: Cask No. 76.84 aka “Feisty and zesty”. Cask No. 39.83 aka “Yummy and mouth-watering”. Cask No. 4.153 aka “Kerosene delight”. Cask No. 53.157 aka “Paint your own picture”. G-LO chose […]
I stopped for mixed six at Wegman’s and picked up a bottle of Weyerbacher Slam Dunkel, a Double Dunkelweizen Ale. I had their Double Simcoe, Verboten and Merry Monks’ before so I was reasonably familiar with the brewery and their product line. Weyerbacher Brewing Company is a microbrewery located […]
