Well, it’s that time of year where we sneak in a last break before school starts up again (Yay! School is finally on the horizon). This time around, we headed north to Vermont and spent a week in the great outdoors at Smugglers’ Notch. As a means to […]
As we do on the weekend, G-LO and I try to exemplify the great parents that we are by getting our boys together for a little fun. Oddly, this usually involves the boys cemented in front of a gaming station, while G-LO and I are ensconced at the […]
I received the Sam Adams Winter sample pack as a gift from my sister-in-law. In the pack was the Chocolate Bock. I had reviewed this beer a long time ago when our blog was in its infancy and I was an inexperienced reviewer. With time, I have discovered […]

After our prior efforts with Shipyard’s Smashed Pumpkin, I was tempted to try another beer that was more my style while it was still infused with pumpkin. I thought that maybe it was the style of beer more than the pumpkin that had fed my dislike for pumpkin […]
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 […]
