A while ago, Miracle Max paid us a visit. During an evening of drinking and good company, I had expressed my disappointment with the Firestone Walker Fifteenth Anniversary Ale. There was nothing really wrong with the bottle. It was just that is leaned a little too heavily on barley […]
As a run-up to International Stout Day, I had the great pleasure of finding myself at Fitzgerald’s in Doolin, Ireland. Prior to our trip, my father-in-law had mentioned our travels to his softball/racquetball buddies and one of them had told him that O’Hara’s is the best stout in […]
As a part of a mixed six, I picked up a bottle of Weyerbacher’s Merry Monks. Since I have had several Weyerbacher’s (the Double Simcoe IPA and the Slam Dunkel) in the past, and heard G-LO sing the praises of the Merry Monks, I thought I would give […]
While out looking for a Halloween costume for the boy, I found myself in the same shopping center as Total Wine. So, I thought that I while I was getting something for him, I might as well get something for me. As a part of a mixed six, I […]
At the end of the summer, I found myself at the Jersey Shore with my wife’s family. Now I’m not saying that they drive me to drink but I did walk about half a mile with severe sciatic pain to find a liquor store and pick up a […]
I just happened to stop by G-Lo’s one day (truth be told, it may have been more of a planned session than just stopping over and I may have had a bottle or two under each arm but I digress) and never a poor host, he offered up a […]
I stopped for mixed six at Wegman’s and picked up a bottle of Weyerbacher Slam Dunkel, a Double Dunkelweizen Ale. I had their Double Simcoe, Verboten and Merry Monks’ before so I was reasonably familiar with the brewery and their product line. Weyerbacher Brewing Company is a microbrewery located […]
I had to go to Jackson Hole for work and while there I had the chance to sample some of the local brews from the Snake River Brewing Company. The brewery was established in 1994. And, when the founders retired in 2007, the brewery was sold to Ted […]
A while ago, I went to Roger Wilco in search of Harviestoun and wound up with a mixed six of various Trappistes and Abbey ales. The first bottle that I opened was the Trappistes Rochefort 8. I then moved to the Trappistes Rochefort 10. Finally, I moved on to […]
While waiting for the return flight from Louisville, I wandered in to the airport bar and had a Kentucky Ale from the Lexington Brewing & Distilling Co. Lexington B&D, established in 2000, is the only brewer in downtown Lexington. They make the Kentucky Ale, the Kentucky Light and the Kentucky Bourbon Barrel […]
