For those of you who don’t know I blog about horse racing, yes, I do that too – and for those of you who don’t know I blog about craft beer, see the previous answer. It’s about time a story brought the two together.

Like Sir Mix-a-lot, I too like ‘em real thick and juicy. And like Mr. Lot, I don’t like what the public consensus of what beauty is. I don’t want something light, blond, nothing up front and even less in back. Nay. I want [...]
What a match, what great brews, and what great rationale behind the voting. Our reviewers can spin it however they want but at the end of the day, SweepWater takes home the gold!

Here we are, in the finals! Let’s jump right in with the SweetWater IPA, a beer that I have enjoyed all along, that a local pub near me just got on tap and basically cemented my business now, and a beer that I feel represented our blue-collar drinkers today. This beer is the ultimate bar [...] [...]

Stillwater Artisanal Ales Autumnal
Jag passerade i fredags förbi O’Connor’s efter jobbet för att konfirmera lite detaljer kring den stundande stora påskölsprovningen med Ölsällskapet Gambrinus.
