Daniel Briere is getting over his groin adhesions; for this guy, the problems are just starting. Oh, the life of Daniel “Danny” Briere – it’s just one injury after another these days, isn’t it? If you’re a fantasy manager, you were stoked to see Briere finally bac...

I found the perfect ale for winter touring to go with the perfect pannier rack I blogged about yesterday. Practically speaking, this is brewed in Pennsylvania. Not sure how hard or easy it is to get a hold of (shipping? distributors?) but I definitely am going to try. Discovered via Flickr. Update: ...

I could have sworn that I had already published a review for this tasty beer. I’ve professed my love for all things Lagunitas in the past so I’ll try not to repeat myself here — although, I suppose I’ve already gone and done it. At any rate, I hunted long and hard for this be...

Widmer Brothers decided to bring out of retirement this pale ale that was shelved back in 2007. Before I even get into the tasting notes, I’ll tell you right now, I’m damned glad they did. Drifter Pale Ale is one of the best, if not THE best, pale ale I’ve ever consumed. Let me cla...

With Fire Rock Pale And Crock Pot Kalua Pig I escape the cold Written by Captain Hops. References: When it’s cold and icy here on the east coast, I dream about being back on the Big Island. I spent a summer there during my college years earning my keep by doing landscaping, working in a hotel ...

If January were a person I would not like him. The guest that never seems to leave soon enough and doesn't bring enough when he does show. The month that starts with a hangover. The only reason we do not celebrate the end of January is that February is coming up behind. I used to hate February with ...

Nose is a bit pungent: chocolate, oak, some sort of savory note (and not the soy sauce smell that other reviews had led me to dread). Completely flat - if I recall correctly, by design - and really thick. More chocolate, wood, and a clear tanginess that really jerks the tongue. Maybe I do taste a li...

For the first time in three years, I can say that I enjoyed the experience of the Holiday Ale Fest. Admittedly, it's because I showed up at 10:50 am on Saturday and left by three-thirty, four. But not everything can be chalked up to the early hour. The last few years I showed up early, and the crowd...

Cunoscut sub porecla de „Bulă“, cu care, de altfel, şi-a inscripţionat şi materialele electorale, PDL-istul Nicolae Stan a reuşit să câştige un mandat de deputat de Olt....

I have here in my hand a copy of the beer list for the Holiday Ale Fest (Wed-Sun, Pio Courthouse Square). It contains 37 regular beers*, and of them, I would very much like to try 35. Since I recently had Raven Mad and Redhook Double Black, and since Rogue Yellow Snow is an old standby, these I coul...
