Hall of Beers

Friends! I’m in the mix. Back on track. Uh… reviewing… some… beers. OK so normally if you pick up a six pack of canned beers, you start of with your expectations low. There are certain breweries that have begun canning good beer (try an Archer Ale) but they’re limited and usually the brews cost more [...]

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. You may notice that I recently passed ONE HUNDRED POSTS in the venerable Hall of Beers. I’m not going to make a big deal out of it* or anything. I’m a [...]

It took me long enough to embrace the mixing of clam juice and tomato juice in the first place. In fact, I don’t really think clam juice should be a juice one consumes. But, notwithstanding… this [...]

Yet another solemn nod to The Boston Beer Company and another satisfied palate over here. As we strolled the awful cavernous aisles of a wholesaler, seeking free samples and bulk-size crackers, there like a beacon of light shown a beer brewed near Beacon Hill where once I made a bacon sandwich and beckoned friends with [...]
