“Mikkeller 1000 IBU” by Mikkeller

Published on: 11th July, 2010

There are mythological beasts that we are all familiar with Pegasus, Medusa, the 3 headed wolf dog. And then there is a mythological number for all beer enthusiasts and brewers and that is 1,000 IBUs or 1,000 International Bitterness Units. This is the taste at the end of every beer that gives each beer its [...]

“Tire Bite Golden Ale” by Flying Dog Brewery

Published on: 23rd June, 2010

There are several tastes of summer that I love.  One of them is an exceptionally done brisket or pork steak.  Another is a cold watermelon on a 90 plus degree day.  And one of my new favorite flavors is this golden ale from Flying Dog.  I have always felt that Flying Dog is one of [...]

“Sweetgrass APA” by Grand Teton Brewing Co.

Published on: 9th June, 2010

This is my third try at Grand Teton and I am starting to fall in love.  Not the kind of love that will keep me from trying other beers or other brew companies, but the kind of love that makes me keep going back for more.  Grand Teton has been around the craft beer world [...]

“Ray Hill’s Pilsner” by Ray Hill’s Brewing Co.

Published on: 9th June, 2010

How many of our podcasts and posts start with, “There’s a story behind this.”?  I would say almost 90% of what we do, why we love to enjoy beer and bourbon is because we always come home with a story.  Ray Hill’s Brewing Co. is just such a brewery.  Ray worked for the largest beer [...]

“Poleeko Gold Pale Ale” by Anderson Valley Brewing Co.

Published on: 9th June, 2010

Trying something new here.  I am sitting at home enjoying the aforementioned beer and commenting on what I am tasting. This is a very unique beer.  It travels from Mendocino County, California and has managed to survive that long journey to end up in my hands.  I am very pleased with the opening nose smell.  [...]

“Scrimshaw” by North Coast Brewing Co.

Published on: 9th June, 2010

This is a great craft brewery out of Mendocino County, California.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with that area of the world, they produce great beer and wine there along with a lot of green leafy stuff that you smoke for medicinal purposes only!  I love this brewery and have run out of [...]

“Honker’s Ale” by Goose Island

Published on: 9th June, 2010

This is our second of many beers to review by Goose Island.  We had a great interview with Greg Hall the CBO of the brewery back in January of this year.  He is a great guy with a lot of beer knowledge and if you would like to know how he came up with the [...]

“Ranger IPA” by New Belgium Brewing Co.

Published on: 9th June, 2010

This is New Belgium’s newest addition to their family of beers and also their flagship beer in their new “Ranger” line of beers.  They have put several of their traditional Belgian beers in new packaging and have included this great IPA to that line.  The great part about this brewery is that they listen to [...]

“Schlafly APA” by Schlafly Brewing Co.

Published on: 8th June, 2010

We are on a tear as far as trying great beers go!  We love Schlafly beers for a multitude of reasons.  They make great beer, aren’t scared of over hopping their beers, and are an extremely environmentally conscious brewery and restaurant.  This is a brewery with its eye on the future.  They have a brew pub [...]

“Oberon Ale” by Bell’s Brewing Co.

Published on: 8th June, 2010

There are several traditions that I have in the summer.  BBQ-ing every chance that I can.  Never wear a shirt while cutting grass.  Finally, watching St. Louis Cardinal’s every evening.  I have had to make room for a fourth tradition and that is to enjoy Oberon Ale by Bell’s Brewing Company as many times as [...]
