Left Hand Nitro Milk Stout
The first thing that comes to mind at the word stout, to the average beer drinker at least, is Guinness. Left Hand hopes to change this. By releasing a nitro version of their milk stout, Left Hand will be in direct competition with the likes of Guinness and Murphy’s, and I think they can win. [...]
Dad’s Sausage Cheese Biscuits
Growing up I didn’t realize how good I had it. We didn’t have money – in fact we almost lost the house once, but my dad was always at my little-league games, my soccer matches, my basketball games and my school plays. My father’s dedication to his family always got us through. My mom hated [...]
The Seersucker Suit
June is National Tea Month, and in celebration I thought, “How can I get smashed on tea?” Enter the Seersucker Suit a cocktail of delicious, refreshing, and mind blasting proportions. I’m from the south and we love out sweet tea. I also happen to love gin – its refreshing, versatile and most important of all [...]
Southern Tier Gemini
I’m going to be honest – I didn’t expect to like this beer. Southern Tier’s beers have yet to give me that giddy feeling one gets when realizing a particularly incredible brew is being consumed. I’ve tried several of their heavier varieties and while they were quite good, there was something not quite on par [...]
Bell’s Hopslam
I’m going to go ahead and call it. This is the best beer of the year. Less than three weeks into 2011 the best beer has already come out. I’ll simply have to allocate the rest of the year to hoarding as much of this beer as possible, so I can last until 2012. This [...]
Red Devil Peppermint Vodka
Christmas usually doesn’t mean vodka for me, but this year is different. You see, I’m not usually a vodka drinker. I like my booze too taste like booze and generally vodka falls into the “can’t-taste-it-so-why-drink-it” or “tastes-like-paint-thinner” classes. This year, however, I decided to make some infused vodka for my family members who are less [...]
Abita Christmas Ale
Abita the Christmas Ale (Ale) Had a very shiny label (Label) and if you ever saw it (Saw It) you would even say it’s awesome. All of the other christmas beers (beers) Used to laugh and call him names (Like Mich-Ultra) They never let Abita Join in any beery games Then one sloppy drunk Christmas [...]
Smuttynose Wheat Wine 2007 Vintage
This, dear friends, is an interesting beer to say the least. Smuttynose is a kick-ass brewery, and I am glad to say I have never been disappointed to drink a Smuttynose. This beer is no different, though decidedly more pungent. Wheat Wine is a member of their Big Beer series and they have been brewing [...]
SOS: Save Our Shores Pilsner
Next time you see this beer – buy all of it you can! Not only is this beer delicious but it’s made for a good cause. Abita brewery in Louisiana donates $.75 per bottle to help clean up the gulf coast, and while its great to see a brewery doing its part to help the [...]
Chocolate Beer Showdown
And now for a smidge of human history: Prehistoric man was a hunter-gatherer, a past-age vagabond. Moving with the seasons and the weather – we are all descended from prehistoric-hobos. Luckily for all of us, our ancestors decided to settle down (some time around B.C. 3000) and grow wheat and other crops – researchers think [...]
