I’ve been pretty wrapped up in everything except writing these days, including a recent obsession with Chess, trying to get back into gardening regularly, working, and playing music a few times a week. As usual I’ve had plenty of time to try lots of new beers, so instead of letting these new ones sit in [...] [...]
Lo ammetto, preferisco di gran lunga le birre amare a quelle dolci, non c’è dubbio. Quelle che per la loro secchezza sono sicuramente più beverine rispetto a quelle in cui il mieloso dato dal malto la fa da padrone. E quindi la scelta di spendere qua… [...]
I know, in the header to this blog I claim to be the Pied Piper of Washington beers, and so far no local beer reviews. I’m not ignoring my local beers, I just got a little distracted. When I saw the Lazy Boy IPA on the shelf, I saw my opportunity to g… [...]
It’s been two weeks total since brewing, so I’ve racked the gruit beer, and decided that it wasn’t quite bitter or spicy enough, so I’m doing the herbal equivalent to dry hopping. I just put an ounce each of Yarrow and Wormwood, along with 1/4 tsp of Coriander into a pint of 100 proof spirits, [...] [...]
Sunday was the third Brew Day in the past week. And for the third time in as many brew sessions, the beer of choice was a session beer. After experimenting with The Ultimate Table Beer last week, I opted for a more traditional style this time. Enter … [...]

The first of the two Parti-Gyle beers to ferment out, of course, was the small beer. Now, frankly, this beer isn’t all that small. With a starting gravity of 1.040, it’s going to get to around 4.5% ABV, instead of the sub 3% I was looking for. I gue… [...]
My love (Sophia) and I enjoy a beer at Flying Saucer.Photo credit: S.O. Cindy Busjaeger.Well, I have 3 beers on tap, right now: Ersatz Schneider Weisse, Summer IPA, and my Belgian Uber Saison. Everybody seems to love the Weisse…(but I’m really not a … [...]
PHILADELPHIA — Recreating historical sites with the look and the feel of something old, established and important is a difficult task. Keeping existing historic places alive is even harder. But in pockets of central Philadelphia, there are havens tha… [...]
I’ve been out of town on some much needed R & R, but I am back just in time for the Beer City Bash tonight at the Orange Peel. Tickets are still available and cost only 10 dollars. Seriously, you have no excuse not to go. Bruisin’ Ales has even … [...]
We take a look at a VERY small brewery near the Jersey Shore, Cricket Hill, which totally wows us with their East Coast Lager. Anyone who likes a good lager should check them out – if you can get your hands on it  Next we move to the Matt Brewing … [...]
The Big Brew 2009 event was a success thanks to the work of Iron Mike, JC, and the helpful staff at Beefs in Callaway. We had a number of core members show and present tastings, along with some honored guests who were more than happy to help out. It wa… [...]
In the previous post, I suggested that maybe Gordon Biersch brews Traders Joe’s Vienna lager.The more I think of it, the more likely that seems because I have a hunch that GB markets the same beer, but labels it as Marzen.I’ve always liked GB’s Marzen,… [...]
Reaching back a bit in my archive of notes to write up two beers in one of my all time favorite “non-styles,” the Saison. One is a very authentic modern take originating far from where the style was born, and another a kind of ancient take from right in the heart of the Senne valley. Nogne [...] [...]
Here’s a conundrum. Which country is the biggest producer of Vienna lager?That’s right! Mexico!Are there any major brewers of Vienna lager in Austria?No.And, well, to be honest, the Mexican versions of the style aren’t really all that authentic anymore… [...]
After my diligent blogging in May with the brew course and Pints for Pets, I feel so lazy this month; partly because I was out of town for a while, which is a bummer because Adam and I might have been able to hook up for a pint. Anyway, I did manage to… [...]
It always sounds easy, doesn’t it? One Mash, two beers? Heating up a lot of water, draining a lot of wort? Cake walk. That’s what I said Thursday night when I told Mrs. Muckney Brewing that “sure, I can brew tomorrow so we can go to your Dad’s house… [...]
My next-door neighbor, Jeff, is a great guy. He’s always willing to help out with fix-it issues. He takes the kids fishing. He’s always got a story to tell. He’s a great guy.He also claims to like beer.You could not tell by looking at this really nice … [...]
I have gladly sipped this beer in the middle of winter, but this soft golden/orange hued Abbey style Tripel cries out to be enjoyed during the summer. Clover honey and Meyer lemon are the initial flavors that stand out, followed by a subtle hoppiness…. [...]

Senate Bill 604 has passed the Senate floor. What does this mean for Virginia breweries and you? Essentially, you will be able to, [...] [...] Read more →

Apesar do uso de selos não fazer [...] [...] Read more →

8° Sunburnt Irish Red
Jeg liker en god Red Ale. De er ofte både maltfulle og har en god humlesmak. Denne er både skarp og fin og passer derfor typedefinsjonen til Red Ale veldig bra. En frisk øl med litt mentholaktig smak. Det er lite skum, men det er heller ikke karakteristisk for en redale. Den er derimot veldig [...] [...] Read more →

Review: Mikkeller Jackie Brown
Mikkeller is always produces interesting beers, and we have reviewed several of them in the past. I picked up the Jackie Brown on a whim, thinking that the plain label would mean it is a standard brown ale. After some research this may turn out to be a very interesting beer, as Mikkeller adds plenty [...] [...] Read more →

The March Firkin
Let’s talk economics. Specifically, supply & demand. And lets start with the supply side before trickling down to demand. I fear (from comments on blogs) that craft beer consumers and bloggers tend to think that this is an easily solved problem. If only there was more of Beer A brewed, then an equilibrium will be [...] [...] Read more →

Pineapple, Palmerston Street
Pineapple, Palmerston Street, Ancoats, 1920s. (c) Neil Richardson [1]. The Pineapple was on the corner of Dundas Street and Palmerston Street opposite the old Ardwick Club (now Ardwick Youth & Community Centre, strangely in Ancoats, not Ardwick). The Pineapple closed in 1977 as an Inde Coope house [1] and has been replaced by new houses. Former location of Pineapple, Palmerston Street [...] Read more →

Sam Adams “The Vixen”: Trying Too Hard or Nailing It? (with Video)
. It looks like Sam Adams is trying to rekindle the romance with hardcore craft beer geeks with the release of their small batch series of beers. Glancing at the labels, you wouldn’t guess that these are Sam Adams products, and I think that’s the whole point. When we discussed our “no-go” breweries here yesterday, [...] [...] Read more →
