Per the label the beer is brewed in Lucan, MN Pop 220. I wasn’t a big fan, though it could just be the bottle I had….I’m not sure how old the beer was. The beered poured with very little carbonation….not that it would have helped it. It had decent hop flavor and more of a [...]
Fuego del Otono (Autumn Fire)
I love the beers from Jolly Pumpkin. What I enjoy even more is trying a beer I haven’t had before. This didn’t disappoint….light body, with a crisp but slight tart finish…very refreshing.
Sours at BLAH on New Years Day
The lady chose the St. Louis Gueze Fond Tradition and I went for the Craftsman Angelino Weisse, a lacto-wheat sour/wild ale.
Field Mouse’s Farewell
Labled as a rustic golden ale from Pretty Things Beer and Ale Project…we greatly enjoyed it after kayaking in Mission Bay for a couple hours.
Noche Buena
I recently read an article about this beer. The author mentioned the scarcity of beer and the fact that he had to trek south of the border to get his hands on some, only to get shut down coming back due to the 1 liter limit (about 2.8 bottles) coming back into the states. I [...]
Big Bear Mountain Brewery…
…yep, you guessed it…in Big Bear. I didn’t know this place existed until I saw them at the Brewers Guild Beer Fest at the beginning of San Diego Beer Week earlier this year. I wasn’t too impressed then, but they had a lot of competition. Here, after a day on the slopes and me likely [...]
Slope Bound with Older Viscosity
Something to warm the cockles on this brisk and snowy day in our local mountains. No Mr.Ski Patrol Man…it is Coke Zero.
Burton Baton from Dogfish Head
Though I greatly enjoy IPAs,, 2x and imperial to boot…I have not been too impressed with the oak aged stuff I have tried. I found this blend of oak aged and unaged IPA enjoyable while soaking up to my neck in hot bubbling water. The 10%ABV kicked in and I required mouth to mouth resuscitation. [...]
I Beat You with my cool Sam Adams Glass…
..and not a mark on the glass. Had I the forethought to take the picture prior to pouring the beer, the pic would be aptly titled. I beat you in my glass was just not as catchy.
Melt Down time
A Double IPA from Midnight Sun Brewing, clocking in 8%ABV. A great beer to enjoy this evening while putting in an 80 hour week…all so I can get some time off around the holidays. Oh..then play catch-up the first couple weeks of January…jeez.
