Black Sheep Ale

This delicious Ale comes out of the Black Sheep Brewery in Masham, North Yorkshire in England.  I have to admit that I purchased it solely on the basis of its attractive sturdy oversized bottle.  It was a little over a pint or half a liter for you metric types.  And, like I said, it was [...]

Southern Tier

We sat down prior to a delicious meal of pasta and meatballs from Maroni’s this evening to try a couple of seasonal brews from Southern Tier Brewing Companyout of Lakewood New York. The two we tried were the PumKing (an Imperial Pumpkin Ale) and the Creme Brulee (an Imperial Milk Stout). They like the word [...]

Elysian – The Wise

I purchased a big bottle of this at the local distributor last week and tried it over the weekend. I don’t know exactly what drew me to it, but it could have been the comic-book style artwork of Athena (that’s Athena, right?) on the label of the bottle.  After I looked at again at home [...]

Butternuts

Instead of focusing on one beer today, let’s talk about the selection of canned beers offered from Butternuts Beer & Ale out of the great state of New York.
As I’ve said before, I’m a big fan of canned beers. Especially in the summertime. It just seems to go better with an outdoor setting, having some [...]

Lucky Beer

We had the distinct pleasure of meeting one of the gentlemen who runs this brewery the other day in NYC. He and his father started this brewing company in their native Australia with the idea of branding a distinctive Asian-stlye lager that is easy enough on the palate to please those who like to have [...]

The River – NYC

Went to a nice bar and met an interesting character in NYC on Thursday.
The place was called The River (or Hell’s Kitchen River…not sure) over on 10th Ave. by 43rd Street, and the character I am referring to is the new manager of the joint.  He desperately wants to change the atmosphere of the bar [...]

Juju Ginger

This one was a real disappointment for me.  I’m a big fan of beer (duh) and an even bigger fan of ginger.  So naturally I assumed that this brew from Left Hand Brewing Company would be a big win for me.
Wrong.  It was merely so-so.
The taste of the beer was pretty good. I thought it was [...]

Dale’s Pale Ale

Saw an interesting can of beer the other day at the local distributor.  It’s called Dale’s Pale Ale and it’s out of Oskar Blues Brewery in Colorado.  Didn’t wind up picking it up for some reason or another, but lo and behold my lovely lady came home with a sixer of it just the other night.  [...]

One More Beer Blog

I’ve been reading a few beer blogs lately, so I decided to start my own.  Sort of a home base to branch out and explore elsewhere on the Interwebs.
So I’ll be updating my blogroll with other beer sites and blogs, and I’ll try to post semi-regularly about all things beer-related.
But not today.  Gotta go out [...]
