We had a little nighttime Northern California Craft Beer tasting a few weekends ago. While Pliny the Elder was the “carrot on the stick” to get everybody together, my favorite of the night was the St. Florian’s California Common. Not because it was better than everything else, but […]
Remember that Sierra Nevada Rain Check Spiced Stout from about a month ago? That beer was courtesy of The Alemonger. He picked it up, along with several other beers, during his summer family vacation to Asheville, NC. The Catawba King Coconut Porter that you see in the above […]
As most of you are well aware, we are big fans of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society of America, and have attended the last seven Fall Extravaganza events in Philadelphia, as well as the Spring Extravaganza event in New York in May of 2012. For Fall 2014, the Society has scheduled six events […]
