Friday, May 31st marked the official start of Philly Beer Week 2013. Prior to the official Opening Tap of this year’s Philly Beer Week, there was a Hammer Of Glory (HOG) Relay which kicked off at Northeast Philly’s Hop Angel Brauhaus at 9:30AM and ended at the Independence […]
I wish I had a long and interesting story about the acquisition of this solitary can of 21st Amendment’s Lower De Boom Barleywine, but the truth is that there isn’t one. This solitary can of beer was courtesy of our good friend The Alemonger. He brought it over […]
I found myself in Kansas City recently for work. At the Residence Inn, they offer a complementary dinner Monday through Wednesday with your choice of beer or wine. While I might miss my family, I do try to make the most of my trip. So, I found myself […]
