On the Scottish island of Islay, the legend is that the local waters taste and smell of peat. In San Diego, the air may have more than just legend in it as beer seems to teem from every pore of the area. But there’s a burgeoning new scene […]
Here we go again! Yet another Golden Ale with the aroma of 2AM, Oregon Diner coffee. The last beer that smelled like this came from the Windy City. The brewer of that beer was Goose Island. This time around, it’s a beer by the Billion Dollar Brewer, aka Ballast Point […]
