Next up in the Samuel Smith lineup was the Oatmeal Stout. The pour was a dark, dark brown with brown, lasting foam. The aroma was strong on roasted malt with the hint of burnt chocolate. The mouth feel was thick and full and the taste of chocolate […]
I’m still a relative newbie when it comes to craft beer. Great Lakes Brewing Company was one of my Philly Beer Week discoveries when I had there Elliot Ness Amber Lager at Vargas Bar. Since it was such a good beer, I thought I should branch out and […]
Prior to the 2010 Philly Beer Week, I’d never heard of Ballast Point Brewing Company. My first exposure to their beers was when I had a Sculpin IPA at Good Dog Bar. It was love at first sip! I had my second at Devil’s Den later that summer, […]

Looking to entertain my parents and knowing that my Pappy considers Miller Lite a beer adventure, I found myself a bit limited when it came to liquid refreshment. As I was going there anyway I went to the beer aisle at my local BJ’s to see what sort […]
Thanksgiving Day at the In-Laws. Since lagers usually rule at their house, I thought I would mix things up and bring over something interesting. It turns out that they too had an interesting beer lurking in their fridge. We had the makings of a mini beer tasting going […]
