Hall of Beers

OK I have to come right out and admit that I have yet to upload the pictures I took of the Eagle Rock Brewery this weekend, so I kind of took or stole or whatever these from their site. Now that the air waves are clear and the Captain can rest easy, here is a […]

Well… those Belgians got ‘em. I have mixed to no feelings about the reins of Anheuser-Busch being handed off to ImBev. We’re not talking about Sam Adams or Otter Creek or something. We’re talking about a global consortium that will not change a thing about the beers we (well… mostly not I, but many—Jesus that […]

Afternoon, beervolk. Just a simple, straightforward review of a simple, straightforward beer today. None of my usual odd, byzantine ramblings about obscure, wacked-out beers.

Guys:
 This post is going to take a while to both read and to write. I am still digesting the amount of information I absorbed (and multiple strains of yeast). Let me give you the synopsis of most definitelythe greatest beer event I have ever attended, period. Period. Except for a decent Brew-ha-ha. But you have […]

No, that’s not a typo. I am going to attend the Lupulin Reunulin in DC on May 13 (Tuesday), where five of the world’s finest brewers will be in attendance. My goal is to get a photo of our Golden Calf, Sam Calagione (founder of Dogfish Head). I will also be meeting Randall the Enamel […]

 
Hey peeps:
 My apologies to all five of you who read my posts; I have not provided an update in three long weeks. Those weeks have flown right by–where in hades did April go? Seemed like it was Easter, then whoosh! A giant suckin’ sound!
Anyhoo, I decided to give my most loyal readers a two-fer: a brew […]
