Beer Review – Cricket Hill East Coast Lager

By The Wookie on February 20, 2011 • ( 3 Comments )

My mother always told me, “If you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all.” So I don’t have much to say about Cricket Hill’s East Coast Lager.

By The Wookie on February 19, 2011 • ( 12 Comments )

As a much needed pit stop in the middle of a long week G-LO and I took a “Thirsty Thursday” trip to one of our favorite pubs, The Pour House in Westmont, NJ. Among the brew I sampled during this session the highlight was Lagunitas Brewing Company’s A […]

By G-LO on February 18, 2011 • ( 1 Comment )

Here is yet another beer that I have had on several occasions, but never took the time to review. My first experience with Dogfish Head’s Chicory Stout was two years ago, when I had it on draught at Champps in Marlton, NJ. I remember enjoying this beer immensely, but since […]

By G-LO on February 15, 2011 • ( 6 Comments )

What the hell is wrong with me? I have had the Smuttynose “Finestkind” IPA on numerous occasions and have yet to write a review! I’m not exactly sure when I first had this beer, but I know that it was at least two years ago. The Smuttynose “Finestkind” […]

Beer Review – Sam Adams Noble Pils

By The Wookie on February 13, 2011 • ( 12 Comments )

Let me start off by saying that when I can’t find that funky Craft Beer stuff that I love so much I usually reach for one of Sam Adams’ products. While most of the Boston Beer Company’s stuff won’t blow your mind it’s also almost always fresh and […]

Lunch Review – Dublin Square Revisited (with the Kids)

By The Wookie on February 12, 2011 • ( 3 Comments )

A fews weeks back I did a review of Dublin Square in Cherry Hill. In the review I threw in some parents notes about their kid’s menu and remarked that it may be a nice place to bring the family for lunch or dinner. This past Saturday I […]

As a member of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, I receive periodic mailings from their magazine Outturn. Since I was looking for a gift for my Pappy and you can almost never go wrong with whisky, I pulled out my whisky decoder in search of a bottle from […]

Beer Review – Bell’s Expedition Stout

By G-LO on February 9, 2011 • ( 6 Comments )

Since it looks like the bitter cold weather is back, I’ve decided to try a dark and menacing beer this evening. Though 27 degrees is definitely cold (the current temp out there), I really shouldn’t complain, because it’s not going to get above 30 degrees in Kalamazoo, MI […]

Green Flash: a momentary green appearance of the uppermost part of the sun’s disk at sunrise or sunset that results from atmospheric refraction. Green Flash Brewing Company is yet another San Diego based craft brewer. They were founded in 2002 by the husband and wife team of Mike […]
