  • Beer Info: Miller High Life Refreshes Packaging Design‏

  • The Bruery Rugbrød

    Updated: 2010-05-28 11:46:17
    I didn’t intentionally mean for it to happen, but I’ve been drinking an oddly high number of beers made with rye the past week or so. Whether it’s a Terrapin Brewing Rye Pale Ale, Heavy Seas 2010 Letter of Marque (rye porter) or this offering from the Bruery, it seems something with rye has been [...]

  • Shipyard Wheat Ale

    Updated: 2010-05-27 12:40:23
    Note: this is a review of a promotional sample I received from Shipyard. I’m not the biggest fan of beers brewed with a heavy amount of wheat — there’s just something about the aftertaste that doesn’t seem to sit right with me. It’s only been recently that I’ve found some well crafted products that use wheat [...]

    Updated: 2010-05-24 15:04:07
    It’s not often that I review more than one beer in a single post, but since I drank these on the same night, it only seemed appropriate. Both of these bottles came complimentary from the brewery and proved to be wonderfully balanced session brews. Both also reminded me that I need to be more open to [...]

    Updated: 2010-05-19 14:34:53
    I’m not sure what it is about the Tommyknocker beers (perhaps the label art), but, aside from their Imperial Nut Brown, I keep passing them by even though they are readily available in my area. Thankfully, my inner Beavis just couldn’t pass up this particular brew. So, it was with a giggle that I picked [...]

    Updated: 2010-05-16 15:58:00
    : Sunday , May 16, 2010 The Funky Monk and other thoughts Last week I had a box of beer sent to me by Dave Muckney . Brewing I will eventually get to the reviews of his Saison and Barley Wine he sent . In addition to the homebrews , Dave sent me a number of commercial beers . Among the beers was a Stone beer I'd never had , Cali-Belgique IPA , which they describe as their Stone IPA brewed with a Belgian yeast . I was really impressed with this beer , it was fruity and hoppy , slightly bitter but also funky . A really nice blend of styles . I had been trying to decide what I wanted to brew next and this beer was so tasty I decided to brew my own . interpretation I started with a fairly basic IPA recipe , kept the IBUs down some , opting for 1 oz of Columbus as the bittering agent . I also

  • Uno Agave Wheat Ale

    Updated: 2010-05-13 01:43:00
    : Wednesday , May 12, 2010 Uno Agave Wheat Ale Two years ago for my daughter's first birthday I decided to brew a beer for her party . With a lot of friends and family attending , I wanted to make something accessible to everyone , yet interesting enough at the same time . I decided on using Orange Blossom Honey in a wheat ale . It turned out really well , and for my son's birthday party , I decided to brew another wheat beer . I'm not a big fan of the traditional American wheat ales , but at the same time they are a great beer to make as a crowd pleaser . I decided to add Agave nectar to my son's version , and also decided to use the Belgian Wheat yeast 3942 to make it a little more interesting . Once the fermentation was complete , I added 5 lb of Agave nectar to the primary before
