  • Sixpoint Brewery Righteous Ale

    Updated: 2012-06-29 12:21:44
    The use of rye within the magical depths of beer is nothing new. It’s been around for several years now, though it does appear that as the number of breweries increases on a daily basis, the number of rye beer options also increases exponentially. I’m all for the ingredients inclusion in many beers, but as [...]

  • Devils Backbone Belgian Congo

    Updated: 2012-06-22 01:54:12
    Having Devils Backbone Eight Point IPA so readily available in local grocery stores has been, for a lack of any eloquence on my part, pretty freakin’ awesome. I’ve certainly been enjoying my fair share of this tasty brew over the past couple of months. Combine that with the ever-tasty Vienna Lager and the brewery has [...]

  • Karl Strauss Windandsea Wheat

    Updated: 2012-06-21 12:33:39
    It wasn’t until recent brewery expansions and the addition of new 240-barrel fermentation tanks that Karl Strauss was able to finally bottle one of their more popular offerings, this 5.1% ABV traditional Bavarian hefeweizen. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a beer pour into a glass the same way a pulping orange juice would, [...]

  • DuClaw Brewing Hellrazer IPA

    Updated: 2012-06-20 12:06:04
    Just like the plethora of wheat ales that I’ve run across this Summer, the ubiquitous IPA is ever present. Any excuse to get my taste buds on a bottle (or can) of wonderfully, hoppy goodness is cool by me. And any beer that primarily uses a hop variety that I don’t believe I’ve run across [...]

  • Phenolics and Tannins in Home Brewed Beer

    Updated: 2012-06-19 18:22:57
    This week we explore the problem of phenolic (and tannin) flavors in beer.   Phenolics are usually considered an off flavor, though in some beer styles they may be desirable at low levels.  This week’s article is part of my ongoing series on off-flavors in beer including the previous articles on Diacetyl, DMS, and Esters as [...]

    This 8.5% ABV Belgian Dubbel (in a can no less) from Uncommon Brewers was purchased along with their unique take on a Baltic porter. And much like the brewery’s effort to make that porter unique, this rich brew also has a twist. This particular Dubbel was brewed with a variety of Thai spices, coriander and [...]

  • Flying Dog Woody Creek White

    Updated: 2012-06-18 11:53:23
    As you may have noticed, it appears to be wheat ale season on the site. From Belgian Whites to passion fruit infused, it appears that there’s a bit of trend starting to show the past few reviews. I wonder if that means I’ve finally gotten over my dislike for most things wheat-based. Doubtful, but it [...]

  • Kona Brewing Wailua Wheat

    Updated: 2012-06-15 01:52:04
    Named for Maui’s Wailua Falls, this seasonal release from Kona Brewing may not quite mentally transport me to the tropics of Hawaii, but the incorporation of passion fruit puree into the brew certainly helps push me in the right direction. The fruit’s addition gives the beer a little something extra that helps separate it from [...]

    All American hops with a little pungent Columbus at start and finish of boil for some unique flavor. The Nottingham yeast really lets the malt and hops shine through and floculates well. The maple syrup adds a nice depth to the complexity. If bottled, it\'s ready to drink in 4weeks start to finish. I like it kegged best.

  • Double Trouble Birthday Ale

    Updated: 2012-06-03 15:09:00
    : Sunday , June 3, 2012 Double Trouble Birthday Ale For my daughter's first birthday party , I brewed a beer for the occasion . Once my son was born , I continued the tradition since we had one big party for all friends and family . Birthdays are always bittersweet for parents since their children are growing up . For me , this year marks the first in what I hope will be many years that my daughter has helped me design the label for her own birthday brew . Brewing is something my children are well aware of , as they have accompanied me to Northern Brewer since they were infants , and often times go to our local lollipop store to pick up commercial brew for dad . I'm hoping that this will create a sense in my children that brewing and beer is in fact and art form , and not just something to
