It’s the little things. Like coming home from a long trip and wanting something to drink, only you don’t know what that something is. You walk into the kitchen for the first time in days, dragging bags behind you, the house cold and quiet and sad for its prolonged vacancy, your back sore from piloting [...] [...]
This will be the first Brewvie Review of a TV series, but it had to be done. And now that I’ve done it once, expect me to do it for some of the other shows the wife and I plop down to watch during the week. But I’ll start off with AMC’s The Walking De… [...]
Inte vit i meningen alkoholfri, utan på grund av det härligt vintriga snöandet som på pågick i princip hela helgen, med ett kortare avbrott under söndag förmiddag. Jag hade lyckats dra på mig en förkylning innan och var på grund av det inte s… [...]
I’m having a problem here in Humboldt County. We’re just too damned out of the way. There is a great appreciation for craft beer here. Hell, I live within 30 miles of five distinct breweries. California and Oregon’s finest micro-brews rock the display cases and new offerings from Stone or Lagunitas invariably fly off the [...] [...]

English Pale Ale is a true workhorse beer style. For me, English Pale Ales epitomize the kind of beers a majority of us really appreciate at the end of a long day – a touch bitter, full yet refreshing and light enough in alcohol to soberly enjoy a few … [...]
This Pale Ale from Indiana is yet further proof that great beer also comes in cans, in fact, this example is significantly better than many of its bottled brethren. The aroma is extremely sunny and floral, with lush sweet herbaceous notes – certainly a… [...]
There’s nothing better that comes to mind on a frosty snowfall-infused evening than relaxing with a robust Christmas beer – and there’s no better place than Denmark to do it. Or so I thought! In my short 3 evenings here in Copenhagen, I finally managed to find one worthwhile Christmas beer, but more about that [...] [...]

Like many of you, every November when Troeg’s Mad Elf hits the shelves of my favorite beer distributor, I pick up my yearly case. I’ve even been known to set aside a six-pack for later enjoyment. The aroma and… [...]

Michelob Dunkel WeisseMichelob Brewing Co.St. Louis, MissouriI haven’t drunk a dunkel weisse in probably two years and don’t recall the last one I had so I’ll just wing it here and pretend to know what I’m talking about. The one thing that I can tell y… [...]

Most of you are in “the know” as to what I’ve been up to as of late (well kind of). If you read that post below, you’ll see that I’ve been talking about moving over to a video format all together for some time now, and that the post below was supposed to be one [...] [...]

Next up, as I continue on through my Sam Adams winter 12 pack, is the Winter Ale. I’m not a big ale drinker, but this one started to grow on me as it began to warm up. As you can see, it poured a dark copper color and had a HUGE head build up. … [...]
