A lot has been written about New Glarus Brewery and what they produce, but not a lot by me, especially here, with the exception of the Staghorn I reviewed a few months back. See it here. I feel a little negligent, since I have been drinking one or anot… [...]
I don’t know why I purchased this bottle of Le Bilboquet L’Archange — a 5% ABV Hefeweizen. It’s not the right season for it, nor am I even a fan of the style. I suppose I may have been seduced by the tasty La Corriveau that the brewery also produces. Then again, maybe I was [...] [...]
I’ve talked about a few of the biggest trends in beer today with a few different topics. I had a post that dealt with the growing trend of trying to create sessionable beers. I’ve also talked more than a few times about the growing trend of canning beers. There is, however, one trend that I [...] [...]
Privatimporter, postorderöl, samköp och Köpenhamnsbesök. Det har blivit en hel del öl inhandlad på sista tiden. Av just den anledningen så tänkte jag vara så himla okonventionell och hoppa över systembolagssläppet den första februari helt o… [...]
Martyn Cornell, the Zythophile, has yet another fascinating story from history. Its subject is the most notorious brewer in history. His name was Antoine-Joseph Santerre who, more than 200 years ago, owned the largest brewery in Paris. But it was politics, not beer, that made Santerre notorious. He aided the mob that stormed The Bastille; [...] [...]

I pulled into @bierobar for a beer that had been tipped to me. I bought it (a magnificent hoppy) beer called @victorybeer HopDevil. It was magnificent, as tipped. But as I looked around I saw a bar in decline. Chandaliers in boxes, empty glass kegs and it was hotter inside than outside. I wasn’t wanted [...] [...]

Blue Moon Belgian White
Nydelig farge. Stilig etikett. Lukten er oppløftende og innbydende. Jeg synes allikevel denne smaker litt tam. Generelt lite smak og ingen ettersmak overhodet. Normalt har denne øltypen en fin sursøt ettersmak og en frisk inngang.Men her er det altså lite av det meste. Forsåvidt en helt grei øl, men den gir ikke så mye tilbake. [...] [...] Read more →

Bier en spijs in Alkmaar
Bier en spijs is een Nederlandse term voor het combineren van etenswaren met bier, een term die ik redelijk geslaagd vind. Pint Regio N-H is er al mee begonnen toen het bierfestival nog in Heiloo plaatsvond, de eerste keer wat à l’improviste, maar daarna steeds gestructureerder, met interessante en lekkere resultaten. Ook dit jaar waren [...] [...] Read more →
