After a couple of days in a row that got dangerously close to 90 degrees, on the night of this tasting, the temps took a small dip into the 70s, with evening temps going down into the high 40s. In other words, it was the perfect night for […]
If you read my review of the Bud Light Lime Lime-A-Rita, then you’re already aware that before I drank that swill, I had a bottle of Victory’s latest and greatest, i.e. their Kirsch Gose. Gose, which is pronounced Goes-uh, is a German beer style that goes back well […]
It’s been an interesting late Winter / early Spring at the G-LO residence. On March 13, our long overdue kitchen renovation started, which of course means that we’ve been eating nothing but take-out for the past 6 weeks. I adore pizza, burgers, cheesesteaks and Chik-Fil-A as much as […]
Our relationship with Anderson Valley has been a rocky one. Over the past five years, we’ve reviewed eight of their beers, and our feelings about each of them has ranged from fair to middling. The beers haven’t been bad, but they haven’t been very memorable either. Meh all around is how […]
In a prior post, I noted how G-LO and I try to exemplify the great parents that we are by getting our boys together for a little fun on the weekend. On this particular day, while the boys were doing their thing, G-LO and I had an opportunity 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 […]
The other day, G-LO suggested that I come over to do a “quick” review. Not surprisingly, the “quick” review involving a single beer devolved into reviews of two additional whiskies, and then a few more drams just for good measure. Well, before the whisky nonsense, we sampled the […]
I looked on the front label. Then I looked on the back label. I even looked on the label that’s wrapped around the neck of the bottle. I was in search of the answer to this question: “What’s the ABV?”. Somewhat frustrated, I ignored the ABV question and […]
The Wedding Slinger, a cocktail that we discussed briefly in our review of “Brooklyn Spirits: Craft Cocktails and Stories from the World’s Hippest Borough“, takes a seriously potent and delicious cocktail (i.e. the Manhattan), and adds a healthy dose of Ginger Ale to it, thus transforming it into […]
During a recent visit to the local Wegman’s Wine and Spirits Shoppe, I noticed that they had quite a few winter type Ales in the “build your own six pack” section of the Craft Beer aisle. While there were several that I’ve had before and decided to buy […]
