I stumbled upon the Two Brothers Brewing Co. Cane and Ebel Red Rye Ale while putting together a mixed six pack at The Foodery. Since I’ve been really enjoying rye ales (the Summit Rye Pale Ale and Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye are particularly tasty!), I thought I would give […]
“When I was in school, I’d dreamed of becoming Ernest Hemingway. Now, I travel and drink and write about my traveling and drinking. Close enough, I guess – though likely closer to the paunchy, boozy, crazy late Hemingway than the younger, dashing one who ran with bulls.” – […]
Since January 6th is the 12th day of Christmas, I thought I’d finally publish a review of the Christmas Ale that has been in my fridge for the past two weeks. We’ve been having a bit of a freshness problem with our Great Lakes beer purchases. Although Great […]
The Glenlivet 15 French Oak Reserve was one of two bottles of whisky that I received as a Christmas present this year. While I’ve had The Glenlivet 12 on numerous occasions (along with the Glenfiddich 12, it’s most people’s starter Single Malt), I am just starting to get […]
On December 8th, I posted a review of the Great Lakes Burning River Pale Ale. The first bottle I reviewed was 5 months past its “Sell By” date. At that time I gave this beer a B+. Thanks to The Wookie, I was able to sample a much […]
Round #2 of Wednesday night’s extended drinking session with Limpd and The Wookie was a Saison/Farmhouse Ale by Brasserie Dupont called Avec Les Bons Voeux de la Brasserie Dupont. Since I don’t speak French, I’m not even gonna try to pronounce it, but I will share with you […]
Last night, The Wookie and I gathered at Limpd’s house for a long overdue post-Christmas drinking session (The ROK was MIA). I walked over with a backpack which contained a big bottle of Christmas Ale, a bottle of Rye whiskey, a bottle of Single Malt Scotch, and a […]
On the day after Christmas, the first big snowstorm of the season was expected to hit the Northeastern US. We spent our Sunday morning relaxing with the kids and waiting for friends to stop by for lunch on their way home to Connecticut. Though we originally planned to cook a […]
The first time I saw a bottle of Flying Dog beer, I immediately thought of the poster for Fear and Loathing Las Vegas, the Terry Gilliam film that starred Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro, which was based on the Hunter S. Thompson novel of the same name. […]
The last time I had a Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout was about two years ago when The ROK stopped over for a few drinks. I remember having one of these, plus two or three more beers. I also remember feeling quite intoxicated after that last beer. It wasn’t […]
