Brooklyn Detonation

Alongside Russian River Pliny the Elder, Schlafly AIPA and Brooklyn Blast! this might possess the greenest aroma I have ever smelled on a beer. The texture and flavor can also and appropriately be best described as lush. Unlike the majority of Double I… [...]

stupid, stupid, stupid….

I have brewed over 115 batches of beer in my homebrewing career. I would like to think I know what I am doing. Recently, I brewed a partial mash rye ale. I was excited because I had never brewed a batch with rye in it. I have a large kettle in which I … [...]

Beers I am Enjoying – Sept. 1

I wanted to take a departure from the last two posts about my nanobrewery and talk some beer, namely what I have been drinking lately. Part of the fun of now being gainfully employed is the increase in my beer budget for both craft beer and homebrewing. Due to that I have had the opportunity [...] [...]

DRB Weizen

I wanted a plain ol’ wheat beer for some end of summer sipping. This is a really basic recipe, and I used the dry wheat yeast for the first time, which I was impressed with. Great tasting beer, very light, refreshing, clove/banana flavors come throu… [...]

RobSlam – Imperial IPA

I’ve definitely been on a hop kick this year. I’ve pretty much had something hoppy on tap non stop in my garage. And with the 3 hour disappearance of the last keg of 60 minute IPA clone, I had already prepared another beer to replace it. I’d been w… [...]

TROEGS FLYING MOUFLAN

BARLEYWINE | 9.30% ABV Pairing: Tiramisu Pairing Notes: Flying Mouflan is a fairly low key Barleywine, it’s flavors meshed well with the Tiramisu while not overpowering. The abundant malts of the beer linked with the sweet creamy flavors of the desert, while the Amaretto flavors of the Triamisu teamed nicely with the bitter malt flavors [...] [...]

Making Plans for Denver Beer Fest

I give up, it’s September. I won’t admit that summer is officially over, but September is here. The primary reason that I am accepting the change in month is September means beer. Sure, in Colorado pretty much anything — from politics to bicycle rides — can mean beer, but right smack in the middle of [...] [...]

New Glarus Cherry Stout

Hot damn this is a tasty beverage.  It’s pretty much a cherry bomb wrapped around a very nice drinkable stout.  This starts out with a smell of sweet cherries, but at the end of the sip you get more of the tart cherry taste.   Very … [...]

A cerveja e o gás, um caso de amor

É algo tão arraigado ao que imaginamos como cerveja que o gás da cerveja passa despecebido ao se apreciar e valorizar uma boa cerveja. Afinal, não se imagina uma cerveja sem gás, né?Bem, ela não nasce carbonatada, então os cervejeiros caseiros,… [...]

1188-1217. The American Craft Beer Fest

This is a long-overdue post from the American Craft Beer Fest back in June. Given the delays in posting that Beer Fest posts cause, I’ve abridged this post. In the future I’ll probably talk a bit more about the fests, but for now I’ve just listed the b… [...]

Beer Tour of Niagara Falls, Canada
