This weekend I was able to attend the American Beer Classic at Soldier Field In Chicago. I was pouring for Potosi Brewing , the weather was much better than expected and I was excited to be there! We counted almost 100 breweries in attendance. A lot of the big boys were there: Goose Island, Sam Adams, Lagunitas, Stone and Dogfish. Wisconsin was well represented by: Potosi, Sprecher, Lake Front, Milwaukee Brewing Company and Central Waters. There were many local start-ups also, All Syndicate,…

I bought a six pack of Small Craft Über Pils brewed by Heavy Seas pretty much on a whim when looking for something for my Friday night/end of the week decompression session.  It was a cold  beer that I'd never had before from a brewer I'd never heard of.  That's good enough for me!

After a few days of waiting, my Brewdog prototype beers arrived. I went for three of each of the beers: a Pilsner called Nuns with a Guns, a super hoppy IPA called Jackhammer and a 10% ABV…

Before Christmas, I was pretty well stocked up on beer but then a number of people (knowing me well) gave me beery presents, meaning that my beer stash grew considerably.

Amongst the varied selection that I had amassed, one beer was really calling out for me to drink it on Christmas day. A…

When hubby and I received an invitation to attend a local craft beer tasting it wasn't an invitation I could easily ignore.  An opportunity to sample a numbered and varied selection of craft beers was a mouthwatering prospect.

The invitation came from Craft Brew Guy who is…

I just recently attended the Kennett Square Craft Beer Festival.  It has been quite a few years since my last visit and one of the things I remeber most was my visit to the Weyerbacher booth. That was actually the first time I tried Weyerbacher craft beers and they stood out as one of my…

Avery Brewing Co. has just announced their plans for expansion. They are still in the works of sealing the deal on a 5.6 acre spot in north Boulder, 4910 and 4920 Nautilus Court. It will be a a great way to showcase our beers and set us apart from other breweries," Adam Avery told Westword in August. "I wish we were already building it."

The land is listed by The Colorado Group and is going for…

As someone who could truthfully be classified as a serious beer snob, I find myself having to stifle some of my snobbier characteristics.  For one, I tend to make snap judgments, as I mentioned in my …

In a magazine I used to read a great deal, I was surprised to see an advertisement for an Abbey style ale from the awesome brewery known as…Sierra Nevada? Yes, Sierra Nevada has thrown their hat in the ring of craft abbey ales.  What did I think?  Well, hit the jump to find out.

Appearance – This beer has a nice, resilient…

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…

During lunch I swung over to Royal Liquors on State Line and 103rd St. (Kansas City). Greg was supposed to host a tasting and signing from 12-1p… I showed up right around 12 with no one in sight…

No worries, they were running 20 minutes late. So, I swung over to Taco Bell for something I’m sure I’ll later regret, then headed back to Royal to meet the man himself. I only chatted with him for a few minutes, as others were lined up to meet him and get their bottles signed. I did…

Not too long ago I tried Dogfish Head‘s 90min IPA and I kinda fell in love. Coming from a non IPA lover that should say a lot. So when I saw Dogfish Head’s Aprihop in stores I mean I had to buy it, right?

Dogfish Head Brewery is known for making some very crazy beers or rather “off centered ales for off centered people” as their motto goes.…
