Hall of Beers

Every Christmas I like to enjoy a few Strongbow Ciders. I have always appreciated the crisp, not-to-sweet taste of Strongbow over it’s cider competition. Now, the closest you can really get is Blackthorne, which I have never seen in a bottle- only on tap. So when I went to my local neighborhood Publix to pick up my holiday [...]

You never think it will happen to you. Sure, there’s the occasional boilover, the incidental spillage during bottling, the random skunky beer. All risks that are inherent to the homebrewing trade. But until last night, I’d never experienced the worst of them all… the catastrophic beerplosion. Now, I’ll admit I was asking for this one. [...]

Boys: Maybe it’s the SoCo talking*, but I cannot wait till we get to share in beery goodness ‘roun the General’s Christmas tree and muse about beeriness and all things beery. Beer beer beer. I am listening to the Nutcracker Suite, and enjoying every hour of it as my now expanded thought capacity has clarified [...]

FRIENDS! I HAVE LONG KNOWN THIS, BUT NOW SCIENCE CONFIRMS IT! I will break with tradition and lift a section of a post directly off of another website in toto. I feel no need to add my own annotation: After a workout, beer is best, not water Posted: Nov 4th 2007 10:13AM by Martha Edwards [...]

Folks, good ‘ol Captain Beer was about to post a lovely young post about the widely available, widely loved and widely awesome Shiner Bock. But the awesome picture he took of a veritable phalanx of Shiner bottles and a mug of the fine, dark brau* taken with the Captain’s badass new camera proved to be [...]

First, friends, here is Admiral Ale lunching with himself in Italy. It looks like he’s also lunching by himself at another table. Oh Admiral, you’re the fattest! Anyway…. Beer readers! Gather round! Not that close, dude. Check out this link! I’d write more, but as it’s a link to an article, why would I bother? [...]

Yes, fellow patriarchs and honored guests of the Hall, today is Captain Beer’s beerthday. Let us all raise a glass and toast his surviving another year. Recommend blowing the candle out prior to consuming, particularly if you live in Southern California and want to preclude adding to the current apocalyptic conflagration, or at least avoid [...]

Having all been blessed with some ability to appreciate fine beer, we need a different sort of man to review the less respected beers of the world. A man who would rather hunt a deer using a stapler than enjoy a complex microbrew. A man who chooses his beer from the bargain bin (and to [...]

Folks, the captain would hate to seem like he was plugging shamelessly, but I must say that on 9/6, at 5:30, a beer tasting event is being held at one of my all-time favorite beer purveyors, Red Carpet Liquors in Glendale, CA. To taste some great beers and meet some of the fleet, be there. [...]

So they other day Lieutenant Lager and I went bowling, so of course we drank some Coors Light. Man, we gotta come up with another word for that stuff. Like… Beere. Give me a Sam Adams or a Sea Dog Raspberry Wheat or an Otter Creek Copper Ale, dammit! Stupid ass Coors! Jesus! There… I said it. [...]
