http://www.theperfectlyhappyman.com/two-brothers-circus-penguin-pale-ale/A surprising beer that caught me off guard by one of my favorite breweries. Apparently this is a brewer’s choice concoction where they collectively decided on the malts, hops, ingredients, label design, and name. I must say, I’m not a huge fan of the label and name partly because it does not sound like some [...]

http://www.theperfectlyhappyman.com/clown-shoes-vampire-slayer-imperial-american-stout/There is a lot that goes into this brew. Holy Water, lactose (milk sugar), smoked malts (ash and hickory wood), and burnt grains. The brew day was definately interesting as the brewers did their best to ward off evil vampires. Not joke, I wrote down ‘chocolate milk’ as one of the taste of this beer [...]

http://www.theperfectlyhappyman.com/dogfish-head-120-minute-ipa/I sampled this beer back in 2008 just a few months into my craft beer journey. It was tough to enjoy let alone taste. The extremely high alcohol content made it hard to identify anything else. Fast forward a few years to now. This beer is not overwhelming at all. Actually, it is almost the [...]

american craft brew statistics: [...]
There are now more than 2,000 breweries in the United States, and the craft beer industry brewed 1.3 million more barrels in 2011 than in 2010, the Brewers Association announced today. In 2011, craft brewers were responsible for 5.68 percent … [...]
I knew any day now this would become official. There are now more than 2,000 breweries operating in the United States. According to data released by the Brewer’s Association today – the craft industry saw a 13% rise in overall volume. Thats a total barrel increase of 1.3 million barrels (40, 300, 000 gallons of beer.)
Perspective. The small beer industry (less than 6 million barrels annually) only represented 5.68% of the volume of the United States beer market in 2011 (up from 4.97 in 2010.) That’s an estimated $8.7 billion alone from the small brewery side of the … Read the rest

http://www.theperfectlyhappyman.com/ska-brewing-modus-hoperandi-india-pale-ale/I have to confess. I’m a hop junky. Ever since I got hooked on the little, lupulin filled green cones it’s like I can’t get enough. In fact it’s hard for me to genuinely remember what I was thinking the first time I tasted an IPA and thought, “Man this is bitter.” Truth be told, [...]

http://www.theperfectlyhappyman.com/founders-curmudgeons-better-half/Once again Founders puts forth a phenomenal brew!

Boozin’ Blog 2012-02-18 09:07:14
Mardi Gras is on Tuesday, Februany 21st (That was no typo. I’m gunning for a sponsorship- Subway, can you hear meee?). For the next week, the Boozin’ Blog will be counting down the days until the holiday of holidays, festival of drunks (and culture, if you’re looking for that sort of thing) with a few do’s and dont’s we’ve learned over the years. ______________________________ OK. I’m becoming depressed. Everyone is flocking to NOLA and posting it on Facebook. I belong there, my friends are there, I’m pretty sure I still have a pair of pants there… and I’m stranded in LA. So in the spirit of negativity, let’s highlight a fairly pessimistic “don’t”: DON’T TRUST THE LOCALS to not be prostitutes.
