Hall of Beers

Fellow Beer-ers and Beer-ettes,
It seems we have been focusing recently on a ‘back to basics’ for beers, and thus I shant disappoint. From New Belgium, a company which in spite of relative youth delivers fine and innovative beers consistently, comes Mighty Arrow Pale Ale. It’s a medium-bodied, medium-hopped pale ale, and it’s just an even-keeled [...]

Hello fellow Beer-ers.
During an inebriated trip to Cost Plus World Market upon a winter’s eve (last Monday, yes I walked), I stumbled through the aisles seeking to add to the dwindling beer supplies in my fridge. Before me I saw the usual seasonal samplers, the ‘Winter Pack’ which looked promising, and then a newer, more [...]

Sweet Jesus, those nuts in Maine have done it again.
Folks, the Sarge doesn’t just take on the run of the mill ales, stouts and lagers. No, sometimes he needs his face kicked in by something entirely new and original. But this isn’t always the most cost-effective route given the high cost of dentistry. So a [...]

So it’s about time the Sarge came back with a good ole stout…in time for summer, no less.
Folks, let’s have a quick word about stouts. We know they’re ales made from roasted barleys, some good noble hops and yeast, but as I’ve indicated before, most microbreweries have compromised their craft to appease a wider audience’s [...]

What better way to, er, complete the beer drinking experience?

Sorry, You Are Out of Ammo…
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Two Belgian beer fans have launched a video game named ‘Place to Pee’, which allows players to slalom down ski slopes or kill aliens while relieving themselves at urinals.

I can’t quite muster the courage to effectively write this post. Last night, at approximately 0230 PST, a loud, wet sort of pop announced the end of a hefeweizen that had barely begun. Brewed on Friday, the OG was solid at 1.042, the color was an even, red earthy base with a mighty amber froth. Hell, [...]

It began with a late night conversation five weeks ago with General German.I had just finished an IPA, bottled it only days before, and I was pondering what the next brew-to-be was on my list. The good General suggested I visit the podcasting of basicbrewing.com. Good chaps they are, gents who brew and chat [...]

Je-SUS.
The Sarge cannot even BELIEVE this. It’s got my heart racing so much that I need a beer- if I could still AFFORD ONE IN THIS STATE. PRAY this doesn’t pass!

Ah, Bill Bill Bill….Not a sonnet nor Lady Macbeth can tame this dark $7 black tar of Gehenna! T’was a mighty dagger I saw before me whence I traversed the Food of Whole to find ye, O pitchmead from the House of William! Yeah, it was a dark, evil-tasting beer. Here’s what I thought.
