The honey profile here is so raw, sweet and flower petal floral that the effect is not dissimilar from sucking honey from a fresh honeycomb. Likewise, the hop profile is so present and uninhibited that it’s more direct and bitter than anything you’ve l… [...]
Our recent supplier of great beers – Chris Quinn out of Chicago – sent us this Belgian Dubbel (double) a little while back. The Goose Island Beer Co., out of Chicago, IL, makes this “Pere Jacques” – a spicy beer that could definitely take to aging v… [...]

One of the neat things about homebrewing is that you have so many people with different degrees of experience and all kinds of systems. One of the forums I frequent, over at Northern Brewer, will often have someone new to brewing asking a question. A l… [...]

One of the more complex, perplexing and all around delicious ciders I’ve tasted, this wears its Belgian yeasts and maple syrup addition on its sleeve with glowing pride. There is something wholly fulfilling and comforting about this cider – think mout… [...]
Definitely reminiscent of the Cider and Black still whipped upon request in any British Pub worth its salt; this cider manages to cram an impressive array of sweet and tart aromatics and flavors into its seemingly simple make up. On the palate a flora… [...]

I do love me some Sierra Nevada. [...]

It’s a moment full of suspense. Sure, I could see how things were going while I boiled the stuff, and I [...]
