In mid-January, we received an email from Dean Hurst, Director of Spirits at Bern’s Steak House in Tampa, Florida. He wanted to know if we were interested in reviewing a blended grain whisky that was specially made for Bern’s Steak House by Compass Box Whisky Company. Given that […]
“I fear we’ve entered into a new, and not too wonderful era of sophomoric brewing “creativity…” – The Alemonger The above quote was The Alemonger’s response when I asked if he’d seen Ballast Point’s Pineapple Sculpin in the South Jersey beer aisles. He sure does make it sound […]
