I don’t know about you, but to me, 4th of July means firing up the grill, eating a plethora of burgers, hot dogs, and a whole bunch of other stuff, and washing it all down with a refreshing and flavorful Craft Beer. Taking a cue from our friends […]
Recently, in an effort to expand my beer horizons, I had G-LO over to debate the merits of smoked beers. I had picked up two beautiful bottles from Brauerei Heller-Trum / Schlenkerla. The first was the Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Urbock which I found to be fantastic. The second is the […]
After my recent foray into a blueberry beer with the Wachusett Blueberry Ale, I picked up another one to see if my impressions were the same. I selected a bottle from Fegley’s Brew Works; partly for the name, the Blueberry Belch and partly for the pretty graphics on […]
The other night, I was feeling a little peckish. Rather than grab a box of Oreos, I pulled out a bottle of Chocolate Stout. I am a big fan of Samuel Smith’s (love the Oatmeal Stout and the Winter Welcome; and the Benevolents enjoy the Organic Apricot Ale) and […]
While in Cape Canaveral, Florida. I found a need for liquid refreshment and turned to the Liquor store next to the local Publix. As I have noted a number of times, I don’t really do any research and usually select a bottle based on its label art and name; the prettier the bottle […]
A while ago, G-LO came over with his boys. While they scampered around the yard, G-LO and I took up our post on The Barthenon (I mean as good parents keeping a watchful eye over our children, where else would we go?). Anyway, we sat around the table […]
With the warm weather hitting us hard, I was looking for something a little more refreshing than my typical bottle of stout. Not one to shy away from fruited beer, I picked up a bottle of Wachusett’s Blueberry Ale. I’ve had other blueberry beers (the Bar Harbor comes to […]
As soon as I saw this beer on the shelf, all I could think of was Caddyshack, that classic comedy from 1980 with Ted Knight. Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, and last but not least, Michael O’Keefe who played the role of Danny Noonan. Below is a […]
Recently, I was in Florida for Spring Break. Once, I had Spring Break visions of Ft. Lauderdale and bikini contests. Now, Spring Break is a trip to Cape Canaveral with three kids and a stay in a condo complex with an average age of Social Security. I’m not sure […]
Over the past five years, I have been to the Sunshine State (aka Florida) on five occasions, and the closest I’ve come to visiting the Cigar City Brewery was their mini brewpub in the Tampa Bay airport (sadly, there was no time to partake of their offerings). Thanks […]
