Beer Review – Great Divide Nomad Pilsner


Since summer is practically here, my last mixed six pack purchase at Wine Works in Marlton, NJ included several lighter bodied beers, i.e. a Kolsch, a Pilsner, a Summer Ale, and a couple of Wheat Beers. Among the mixed six pack was a bottle of Great Divide’s Nomad […]

Beer Review – Victory Summer Love Ale


I first had Victory’s Summer Love Ale during our brief, smoking hot pub crawl through Center City during Philly Beer Week 2011. Since I had this beer after a Dogfish Head 75 Minute IPA at Fergie’s Pub and a Victory Headwaters Pale Ale at The Oyster House, I […]

Additionally, their brewing process had remained virtually unchanged for […]
