Hall of Beers

We’re still here, people… if you are. This Captain still drinks beer and thinks beer all the time. If you’re out there, beer readers… if you want us back here… oh, it shall be so.

Ohmigod… oh baby…. So we brewed a stout over at (hey!) Sgt. Stout’s house 2 weekend’s back and I bottled the sumbitch on Sunday. It’s going to be a life-affirming beer, I’m telling you. Kahlua infused coffee beans, darkass malts—this brew smells amazing, and is the color of motor oil. I’m sure there’s no way [...]

You know what? Screw it—this diagram made me proud as hell. Proud because, given the right circumstances, I would do serious damage to a 12 pack of Schlitz, but on any given day, this is about right:

Friends, once again the illustrious team brew team of yours truly and Sergeant Stout teamed up 3 weeks back and brewed up a storm. Or rather two batches of beer. Then last weekend we bottled them… and something wonderful happened… both of our beers… while flat, tepid and not even done with their development (2 [...]

Last weekend, friends, Brigadier Bock and Admiral Ale gathered around the Sarge and the Captain’s brew pots and we four whipped up two beautiful batches of brew! A spiced holiday ale for Sergeant Stout, a Scotch Ale for me. And, of course, we went apeshnit with the recipes, Sgt. Stout adding fresh cranberries, cinnamon sticks and [...]

…but I’ve been drinking a lot of homebrew recently so there have been fewer posts. Your Captain regrets this. He loves you all and hopes you can be briefly held over with this wonderful shot of the Cap’n and Lieutenant Lager doing what we do best*. I’ll be in the mountains this weekend and am [...]

IT WAS A DRINKY OLD TIME, FRIENDS! Fine beer, fine food and fine friends. And then more beer. Folks gathered at our house around half past twelve and we set out on the (slightly longer than I had said it was) walk to the lovely Red Carpet Liquors. There we came upon several tents, tables [...]

Friends, tomorrow ten or twelve of us descend on the venerable Red Carpet Liquors for a German Oktoberfest beer party that may well have an attendance of over 150 beer loving people. Holy Schiesse friends… photos soon to follow…

Well just when I was getting down on my fancy beer brewing… the very same day, in fact… Samuel Adams gave me a shot in the arm! Why, just take a look!

That’s right! Captain and Mrs. Beer’s Maple Porter received a score of “very good” from the professional panel of tasters from the Sam Adams [...]

Perhaps we’ve all come too far too fast, boys. As I gathered round the table with the Sargent and Kolonel last weekend, I came to an unsettling realization. It has been maybe 5, 6 batches since I brewed a simple beer without going all wonky on the recipe. And frankly, 2 of those batches came [...]
