This is the second of two videos of Grant Curlow’s tremendous beer cellar. There is not better way to end the year. [...]
The original plan was to go through my blog and pull out notable events in an end-of-the-year recap, but I thought it would've been too cliché and trite. Instead, I'll just keep this short. I want to thank everyone who … Contin… [...]

Our 100th Guinness ad is from 1959, for their 200th anniversary, which takes place tomorrow, December 31. That’s when, in 1759, they signed the lease for St. James Gate. Since I’m almost out of vintage Guinness ads, I’ll never make it… [...]
#9 Extra är en Strong Pale Lager/Imperial Pils på 8.0% från ryska Baltika Brewery (Baltic Beverages Holding – Carlsberg). [...]
I’ve finally succumbed to holiday laziness and am blogging two beers in one post. I imagine everyone is too hungover from New Year’s to even think about beer however, so no one will see it. (Except for my parents. Hi Guys! Oaxaca is awesome, will email soon.) So both of these beers had a similar [...] [...]

En weer een jaar voorbij. Iedereen die dit leest: de beste wensen voor het nieuwe jaar! De oogst van 2011: 15 bezochte bierfestivals, 8 daarvan in Nederland, 6 in België en 1 in Duitsland.

The goofy moose head gazes down aloofly from his lofty perch below the rafters, and we sit cradling a kriek and a pilsner in a building that has almost a millenniums worth of years on us. House of the Trembling Madness sits above the cobbled shopping s… [...]
Just like the Queen song, the show must indeed go on. But I’m not complaining, overall it’s been a good year for me and certainly no ordinary one. The highlights were obviously moving jobs and hunting beer in Rome. But throw in some great beers,&n… [...]

Rochefort 10 pours dark brown. It has a strong rum and raisin taste with slight tones of caramel and red wine after. The alcohol only shows through in the aftertaste which leaves a warm glow in the mouth. In the words of Masterchef, t… [...]
Rudolf är en Porter på 3,5% från svenska Dugges Ale & Porterbryggeri. (Betyget bygger på en “Low Alcohol” skala.) [...]
The folks down at Brewsees were kind enough to send these in the giving spirit of the holiday season. If this video sounds like an ad, it’s not, I just think that highly of them. I’ve been wearing these non-stop since I got them (sh… [...]
