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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]

Since fall is right around the corner, and since today’s temperature hasn’t gone above 75 (first time in over 2 months!), I thought I would change things up and review a dark beer. I usually like Smuttynose beers, so I’m going with their Robust Porter for today’s brew […]
The first time I heard about this beer was just before Philly Beer Week. The Philadelphia Weekly, a free newspaper that is available every Wednesday throughout the Metro Philly area, had a Philly Beer Week insert that outlined the events for the week, and also featured interviews with […]
Last Friday, I took it upon myself to introduce a coworker to a neighbor in the hopes of furthering our relationship with the neighbor’s employer. Of course, my motives may not have been all altruistic as a free lunch was in store for me. We selected the Good […]
Düsseldorf-Style Brown Ale? Talk about a very specific type of beer. This is probably the first time that I’ve had this style of beer, and I’m finding the Southampton Publick House Altbier to be very smooth and easy drinking. The color is a crystal clear medium brown, the […]
