The Wookie Speaks: Maxing out Mussels and Beer at Max’s Seafood Cafe
Max’s Seafood Cafe has long been a favorite for our family. Their mussels are to die for and the beer list is awesome.
Free Budweiser!
Could the rise of the Craft Beer industry result in the eventual demise of Budweiser? I doubt it, but they are losing business thanks to the refined tastes and adventurous palates of the under-30 market. Bud’s latest plan: free beer! Personally, I’d much rather pay for a good […]
Beer Review – Brooklyn Oktoberfest
It’s always worth paying a little extra for convenience. This past Monday, I decided to take a slight detour before getting on PATCO to head home, so I walked two blocks to The Foodery and picked up a mixed six-pack of beer. I estimate that The Foodery is […]
Beer Review – Leinenkugel’s Oktoberfest
Feeling a little thirsty after another fabulous Monday, I turned to my local provider for something new. I opted for Leinenkugel’s Oktoberfest. This is a lager in the tradition of a German style Marzen. As I was not familiar with the Marzen style, I consulted Wikipedia and discovered […]
Beer Review – Stone Levitation Ale
Stone has made some rather lofty claims with the naming of this beer. Will it leave me floating on air? Can I now defy gravity? Stone has some of the classiest looking labeling on their bottles, and their beers generally pour beautifully. If I were to judge this beer on […]
Beer Review – Saison du BUFF Trifecta! The Stone, the Dogfish Head, and the Victory!
Yesterday afternoon, I received an invitation from The Alemonger to join him and the H.O.P.P.E.R.S. (Hop Opps Porch & Patio Entertainment & Recon Society) for a Saison du BUFF tasting. Since we were finally able to secure all three versions of this Stone/Dogfish Head/Victory collaboration brew, there was […]
Beer Review – Great Divide Colette
The closest I get to a farm is a visit to the local farmer’s market, and the occasional trip to Lancaster County in Pennsylvania. Though I live in the suburbs, I’m a city boy at heart. So here’s the question… can you make a decent Farmhouse Ale in […]
Beer Review – Racer 5 & Ruination IPA
Last weekend, G-Lo, the Wookie and the ROK gathered for a rum tasting. Okay, so tasting might sound a little lofty but it sounds better than a couple of neighbors out drinking in the yard. The Wookie had just returned from a trip to the USVI and was […]
Beer Review – Bar Harbor Blueberry Ale
Last Thursday, my better half let me know that the urchins had infested the Wookie’s yard and we were coordinating pizza for dinner. Not one to arrive empty-handed, I stopped at the local shop to purchase a cold six-pack suitable for sharing. (As it was still just Thursday, […]
Beer Review – Lagunitas IPA
At a “business” lunch at the Good Dog, I had the most pleasant opportunity to order a second beer. I settled on a Lagunitas IPA for two reasons. First, I had had other Lagunitas offerings before and thoroughly enjoyed them. The second reason was that the Lagunitas was […]
