While attempting to find a good Oktoberfest beer, I picked up a bottle of Dundee Oktoberfest. Billed as a Märzen-style lager, the Oktoberfest is produced by Dundee Brewing Company, which is part of the Genesee Brewing Company and owned by North American Breweries. I had my first experience with […]
A while ago, I stopped in to my local liquor store and picked up a bottle of Brooklyn Brewery’s Post Road Pumpkin Ale. While not a huge fan of Pumpkin Ales, I was roped into buying it because of the label on the bottle. As the Wookie has […]
Whenever someone mentions Green Flash Brewing, I think aggressively hopped beer. While putting together a mixed six pack of beers during a recent visit to Wine Works in Marlton, NJ, I stumbled upon a bottle of their Double Stout. Since Green Flash has yet to let me down, […]
Looking for something out of the ordinary, I stopped for a mixed six, and picked as one of the bottles a Monk’s Revenge from the Terrapin Beer Company. I have tried several other Terrapin products, i.e. their Rye Squared, Hop Karma IPA (formerly India Style Brown Ale) and the Hopsecutioner IPA, so […]
With the Holiday season upon us I need get back in the good graces of my sister and take care of an unfinished brew review from the summer. Back in July my sis (we’ll call her Newt) and her fiancé (we’ll call him Wisk-E) drove up to my place […]

As winter fast approaches and another fall winds down, I find myself with my last can of Autumnation and have finally gotten around to a review. Autumnation is the latest release from Sixpoint Craft Ales out of Brooklyn, NY. This is a special release pumpkin ale, and since […]
While out to lunch the other day, we stopped at Dominick’s Side Door Pub in Chalfont, PA. From the outside, the small strip mall looks unimpressive, but that look is quite deceiving. Not only do they serve great pizza and cheesesteaks, but the beer list is tremendous. Now I’m […]
Two weeks ago, G-LO purchased the Bruichladdich Ten, and I purchased the Bruichladdich Twenty as fitting drams for our tribute to the Whisky Dog. Several days after our tribute, I took a quick inventory of the whisky vault and uncovered a small sample of the Bruichladdich Pedro Ximénez 17, a long ago […]
