Secrets of the Sommeliers

I have written about the Court of Master Sommeliers a couple of times before. This time, my perspective has changed because I am on the other side. I passed the Level 1 exam!

Victory Hop Wallop - Where's the Malt?

I reviewed the Hop Wallop recently and while I did enjoy it, I was a little disappointed by its lack of balance. Anyhow, here's the review:

Berghoff - Winter Ale

Full review can be found here: http://sudsavant.blogspot.com/2011/05/berghoff-winter-ale.html

This brew from a small brewer in Monroe, WI does not always have the most sterling reputation. However, this bottle was a very nice surprise! I'd buy it again.

Beer Reverie

Sometimes, while in the middle of doing something mundane like driving out of Santa Cruz on highway 1 at stop and go speeds, my mind wanders and takes me on an equally mundane journey through random memories and I lose my sense of reality. I drift aimlessly between thoughts of my most recent behavior of the previous night at the brewpub, including all the sordid details that led me to believe I lack any redeemable qualities. I don't think I was being inconsiderate, just misunderstood but…

Old Clarence – Boulevard Brewing Co

UPDATE: Looks like I was only partially correct in my posting about this beer... and by partially, I mean not really close at all. I'll blame Marla for that one!

I just received this message from Jeremy Danner, a brewer at Boulevard about the beer that is much, much more accurate than what I wrote: "Old Clarence is a Bully! Porter that's been aged in a whiskey barrel. It's…

Muffin tops, saddle bags, thunder thighs and cankles

Baby got back and now we know why. Calories. Do you know what they are? One of my most horrifying college experiences was on a trip down to good ol' Georgia Southern University to visit my girlfriends from high school.
