It’s not that I try to age Imperial Stouts, I just want to make sure that I have the right time to open them. Once you do, you have committed to draining the bottle that evening. So about 4 years ago I received a little care package from Dissent Brewing out of their St. Pete ..read more

It’s spooky season again, and I have enjoyed the rather esoteric spookiness that this season seems to be incredibly fond of. It has progressed from your standard issue goblins and pumpkins and skeletons to a darker, more sinister sort of fortune-telling, conjuring, slightly sepia toned witchcraft. I just find it a lot more interesting. So ..read more

It’s the best time of the year again, Oktoberfest! And in true Oktoberfest fashion, pretty much every brewery had their parties starting in early September. Sausages of an indeterminate origin! Questionable use of lederhosen! Painful looking stein holding competitions that I have no desire to participate in! And beer, glorious, glorious beer served in liter ..read more

So, cat cafes are a thing. I know it’s a strange way to start a blog post, but here we are. And if you’ve never been to a cat cafe, I handily recommend it, mostly because cats. And as any brewery will tell you, cats are infinitely more interesting and more useful than dogs. I ..read more

They look absolutely brand new, and that is because they underwent a ..read more

The phrase “That which does not kill you makes you stronger” is overused to the point of ridiculousness at this point. The problem is, in a lot of ways it makes a lot of sense. It’s something that you can see in certain breweries, like Funky Buddha. It’s been interesting to watch what they have ..read more

While I don’t get there on a regular basis, due to the distance, Gulf Stream Brewing has become a fan favorite in my household for many reasons. The location is perfect and is simple, unassuming, and always family friendly. The beers are great, and they’ve managed to cultivate a tap list that has a lot ..read more

Oregon. Land of tall trees, the Portland Timbers, and the last remaining Blockbuster Video on earth. It’s also home to some amazing agriculture, especially when you take a look at wine grapes for fantastic white varietals. And where grapes are found, hops are not far behind. That is true for the recently deceased (no pun ..read more

Love them or hate them, and most people hate them, smoked beers are just a fact of life. I actually remember the first smoked beer that I had, a collaboration with two different breweries that might have been a touch too heavy handed with the smoked malt. Very rarely do you see breweries with a ..read more

Look, South Orange Blossom Trail now isn’t quite what it used to be. There was a time when OBT used to be the center of the hot new place to be. Nowadays, to say it’s falling on a bit of hard times might be a touch of an understatement. It’s not to say some of ..read more
