I made an excellent English Dark Mild a couple of months ago (it was my favorite beer for at least a month) and re-read the very good style series book, Mild Ales, by Dave Sutula. This created in me a strong desire to make the Mild even better. I took … [...]
Que mejor idea la de hablar de música y cerveza, esto es lo que propusieron los compañeros de Hipos Urinatum con su pregunta: ¿Acostumbras a acompañar la cerveza con música? Si así es, ¿con algún estilo musical concreto? Si la respuesta fuese n… [...]
It’s that time again, dear readers! Fermentation Friday for February 2009 is brought to you in part by the letter C, and A World of Brews.So why the letter “C” you may ask? Well, until recently, I have exclusively used C-Brite as my sanitizer-of-choi… [...]

I am not an over achiever. I like what I like, I read what I read, and I drink what I drink. This introduction is only to say, that I do not know when the microbrewery explosion hit America, (even though I am sure this information is readily available … [...]
HopValley Brewing Co. had been open for about a week when I stopped by. They have done a remarkable job of opening this beautiful restaurant and brewery in very short order. Lot’s of light and warm wood, not only is the decor inviting, but the beers are outstanding. This is a worthwhile destination just a block [...] [...]
My good friend Chris was in town with his wife Michelle on the weekend to say goodbye to wifey, and we grabbed a few types of beers to share over the few days. One of those was Old Chub, a Scottish Ale from Oskar Blues brewery out of Lyons, Colorado. Oskar Blues have made quite [...] [...]
Long time no post. Hope everyone is enjoying the last really cold month. I can’t tell you how excited I am about the approach of Spring. Its not that the winter has been that bad, but there is nothing like a cold beer in the warm sun. We’ll be ther… [...]
So over the weekend, Justin, Nate and I scoured every hardware, farm supply, value, and surplus store that was open in Indiana, PA in search of parts to build new Mash/Lauter Tuns. We were specifically searching for 10 gallon cylindrical coolers (to n… [...]

I was saddened to learn on Monday that Bruce Lish was replaced as the head brewer at Rohrbach’s on Buffalo Road. (Read the BeerAdvocate discussion thread here.) I really hope he can find another gig where he can use his copious brewing talent and creat… [...]
Sunday night I had the bittersweet privilege of driving my wife to Dallas, spending our last night together before she flew out at a ridiculous hour on Monday morning. Miranda heard back on a scholarship application just the weekend before and she was offered close to a full-ride, but on the condition that she start [...] [...]
Kevin Cox, our traveling beer expert, invited the show to his birthday party. I waltzed in and set up my equipment learning that most of the cast have already been there for awhile drinking 3 liter bottles of Chimay Grand Reserve [...]
I brewed on Saturday and had a great session. First I cut the gap on mill to .031, down from .035. I had been seeing very poor efficiency over my last couple batches and decided to try and combat it. Every since I started using the pump and n… [...]
Wow, looking back to the last time I brewed, I found that I haven’t brewed for well over two months. Part of the reason I haven’t brewed for such a long time was a ruptured disk in my back. I’m doing much better, and feel that it’s time to get back to … [...]
A recent inventory of my fridge led me to the above conclusion. TEN of the 22 12. oz bottles in my fridge come from the Kalamazoo, MI based Bell’s Brewery. And this isn’t a case of bulk buying one beer. No, there are four Bell’s brews gracing my chi… [...]

What is going on with this beer? I had one last night and enjoyed it, but was completely stupefied by the finish. I guess you could all it extreme cattiness. I’ll be damned if it didn’t remind me a little of sweat socks, though. Just a thick, ove… [...]

No, no barrels for Three Philosophers
The current issue of Imbibe magazine has a list of what it calls the best 99 (really 100 and really several lists) bottled beers in the world. Good beers, but of course we know any list of “bests” is still just a list. I’ve rattled on about that enough. But in case you like I noticed Ommegang’s [...] [...] Read more →
