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.

Beer Review – Lagunitas A Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Ale

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 […]

Beer Review – Dogfish Head Chicory Stout

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 […]

Vertical Beer Tasting Q&A

By G-LO on February 17, 2011 • ( 13 Comments )

Since I’ve been going back and forth with our friends at Alcohol and Aphorisms about the effects of aging on high ABV beer (I often find them to be a bit too boozy for my tastes), I thought I would add to the discussion by posting a brief […]

Beer Review – Smuttynose “Finestkind” IPA

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 […]

The Short Pour

By limpd on February 13, 2011 • ( 5 Comments )

At a Macallan event, the brand representative had defined a pour as the measure of the company. So, at an abbreviated assembly of the Kipling Road Society, if one member should entertain a “short” pour should the host take offense? Or, rather should the host accept the short […]

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 […]
