I first had the Yards Brewing Company Cape of Good Hope in cask form during a 2012 dinner with Mrs. G-LO at Amis, a Marc Vetri restaurant in Center City Philadelphia. About two months ago, I almost had it again in cask form at Alla Spina, yet another […]
Recently, G-LO had posted about the Yunkin’ Punkin’ Ale from Manayunk Brewing Co. In the comments, the Alemonger had suggested that the only two pumpkin beers worth a try were Southern Tier’s Pumking Imperial Pumpkin Ale and Shipyard’s Smashed Pumpkin. Since we had already tried the Pumking, I went […]
Fall is an odd time of year for me with respects to beer. Oktoberfest (aka Marzen) and pumpkin beers line the shelves, but with the exception of maybe two or three of them, I don’t care much for either of these beer styles. That being said, I’m always willing […]
With the weather holding and the neighbors gathering on the patio, we have been experimenting with fruitier beers that the ladies might enjoy with us. Now, I’m not saying that fruity beers are a ladies thing. I am saying that our ladies tend to avoid our hop bombs and imperial […]
Several weeks ago, I was invited to The Alemonger’s hacienda for a bit of beer tasting and beer trading (I brought back some beer from Maine, and he brought back some beer from Tennessee). In addition to the beers that we sampled that night, he also gave me […]
I was in NYC for a series of business meetings and found myself with a long break between meetings. I decided that I probably had time for lunch and a pint before the next meeting but one question loomed: Where should I go? Well, the office is not […]
Once again, G-LO was approached by some generous craft brewers and offered an opportunity to try some distinctive brews. Not surprisingly, he said yes (it might have been “YES!” or even “Absolutely!”, “Unreservedly!”, “Unequivocally!”, “Yessirree!”) to their offer. The package contained the current three beer lineup from Monday […]
This bit of Beertography kills two birds with one stone… It allows me take this week’s “Weekly Photo Challenge“. It allows me to give a shout out to one of the funniest and most accurate Craft Beer reviews I’ve ever read. If you want to know a bit […]
This is not my first experience with Rising Tide Brewing Company’s Daymark American Pale Ale, but it is the first time that I am actually sitting down to review it. I first had this beer in 2011 during our first family road trip to Southern Maine. I liked it […]
“Yeast sample for lab analysis”. That’s what was written on the label that was taped to the box that contained the beer that you see in the photo above these words. In addition to this beer, there were two other beers in the box from Monday Night Brewing: […]
