Since Aaron of the Whisky Tribe was kind enough to help us with our Whisky Jewbilee review, as well as sharing his thoughts on WhiskyFest New York, we have extended him an invitation to become a regular blog contributor. For whatever reason (insanity perhaps?), he has accepted our offer, so please join […]
Looking for a little something to tide me over, I hit up the whisky closet and selected a soon-to-be-empty bottle of Kilchoman. I had bought the Machir Bay after sampling it during a WhiskyCast Virtual Tasting. While I am have not really been a big fan of peated whisky, I have […]
During our 10/10/13 excursion to NYC for the 2013 Whisky Jewbilee, Limpd and I stopped into Rattle N Hum, a Craft Beer-centric pub on East 33rd Street in Midtown Manhattan, for a quick lunch before our #WhiskyFabric meet up at Keens Steakhouse. This would be our first visit […]

I first had the Yards Brewing Company Cape of Good Hope in cask form during a 2012 dinner with Mrs. G-LO at Amis, a Marc Vetri restaurant in Center City Philadelphia. About two months ago, I almost had it again in cask form at Alla Spina, yet another […]
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.
