Recently, after meeting G-LO for lunch, I stopped in The Foodery and put together a mixed six. One of the bottles was Innis & Gunn’s Rum Cask. I selected the bottle as a result of the beautiful amber color that beckoned through the clear glass. It didn’t hurt that I […]
Since today is Valentine’s Day, I thought posting a review of a beer called “Love Buzz” would be most appropriate. Anchorage Brewing Company’s Love Buzz Saison is Craft Beer #2 from the Mike and Linda Craft Beer Christmas Present series of reviews. Beer #1 in this series was the […]
As I start most of these posts, a couple of weeks ago, G-LO received the following four whisky samples from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society of America: Cask No. 3.184 aka “Arabesques of ash and high kicks of coal” Cask No. 48.26 aka “In a wild garden, late summer” Cask No. […]
Looking for a couple of bombers to share, I went over to Victor’s Liquors and picked up a bottle of Wynona’s Big Brown Ale from Voodoo Brewery Co. Voodoo was founded in 2009 and is located in Meadville, Pa (a town about 40 miles from Erie, PA). While a […]
While doing a bit of Craft Beer/Wine/Whisky gift shopping over the 2012 holidays, I noticed that Green Flash has finally released 12 ounce versions of their Le Freak ale. Since I have yet to have a lackluster beer from this brewery, I just had to pick up a […]

Recently, I assembled a mixed six with a decidedly English bent. One of the bottles was the Fuller’s ESB. . Now, we had a lengthy discussion regarding aging when I came across a 2010 Fuller’s Vintage Ale and with the help of Miracle Max, we put that theory […]
Recently, I noticed that the beer fridge was a little low and in need of some craftiness. A quick trip to Roger Wilco (formerly the Wine Warehouse) remedied that situation. One of the bottles from my mixed six was the Goose Island India Pale Ale. Having had a lot […]
Throughout 2012, quite a few emails were exchanged between myself and Chris Maybin, Commercial Director of Compass Box Whisky. In most cases, these emails dealt with press releases for Compass Box events and new whisky releases that happened throughout the year. In mid-September, after hearing so much about […]
