Springbank 10 comes from Campbeltown, Scotland, which lies between the Isle of Arran and the northeast coast of Ireland. Springbank Distillery was established in 1828, and is one of the last two distilleries in Campbeltown (Glen Scotia is the other one). There are two versions of the Springbank […]
I know I know. Yet another Saison/Farmhouse Ale review. I just can’t get away from this stuff! I’d never heard of Goose Island Beer Company till I dropped by the Alemonger’s house to watch some Monday Night Football. As luck would have it, the Chicago Bears were playing […]
The other day, my man G-Lo, a huge fan of all things smoky, had suggested that we try a little Ardbeg taste-off. He had in his possession a bottle of Ardbeg 10 and a bottle of Ardbeg Corryvreckan. This bottle takes its name from the famous Corryvreckan whirlpool […]
Max’s Seafood Cafe has long been a favorite for our family. Their mussels are to die for and the beer list is awesome.
It’s always worth paying a little extra for convenience. This past Monday, I decided to take a slight detour before getting on PATCO to head home, so I walked two blocks to The Foodery and picked up a mixed six-pack of beer. I estimate that The Foodery is […]
Feeling a little thirsty after another fabulous Monday, I turned to my local provider for something new. I opted for Leinenkugel’s Oktoberfest. This is a lager in the tradition of a German style Marzen. As I was not familiar with the Marzen style, I consulted Wikipedia and discovered […]
It’s always fun to spend someone else’s money, and that’s exactly what I did when I received some cash from the family for my 43rd birthday. I COULD have spent the money on something practical like clothes, but where’s the fun in that? Christmas and my birthday are […]
Stone has made some rather lofty claims with the naming of this beer. Will it leave me floating on air? Can I now defy gravity? Stone has some of the classiest looking labeling on their bottles, and their beers generally pour beautifully. If I were to judge this beer on […]
On the night of the 2nd Annual Kipling Road Whisky Fest, I was reminded by Miracle Max that I was 1/3 owner of a bottle of very rare and very expensive Single Malt Whisky (only 18,000 bottles were distributed and the average price is $120 for 750ml). Luckily, […]
Let’s mix things up a bit and try a cocktail! Thanks to our friends at Esquire and The Twilight Lounge, I picked the Aviation Cocktail as my experiment for the evening. You can follow the links to their websites for a bit of Aviation Cocktail history. Here’s the […]
