Beer Review: Sierra Nevada Wet Hop Ale
1 Comment Published by Jason January 5th, 2009 in Beer. Share ThisTalk about taking something too far, Sierra Nevada’s ultimate in their product line of over-hopped, bitter beers is officially the Wet Hop Harvest Ale.
Prior Sierra reviews from me have been none too glowing; I’m not a fan of these heavily hopped American beers. I prefer my malty old German and English beers — but Sierra [...]
Beer Review — Sierra’s Southern Hemisphere Harvest Fresh Hop Ale
2 Comments Published by Jason November 12th, 2008 in Beer. Share ThisI ran across this big fat bottle at my local super market and honestly, I do not know why I bought it. My friend Ryan and I only disagree about 1 beer-topic. While we can agree on the joys of owning a wort-chiller, the need for a big brew kettle or the sheer entertainment value [...]

2 Comments Published by Jason November 10th, 2008 in Beer. Share ThisWhat bullshit is Dethroner trying to pass off as a review? Spaten? WHAT? But thats the six pack I’m drinking my way through right now — we’ll, lets be honest I mixed up three 6ers into a Spaten Oktoberfest, Jack’s Pumpkin Spice Ale and Old Foghorn triumvirate of beer drinking ROI.

Beer News: Beer Not Surviving Economic Downturn?
1 Comment Published by Jason November 6th, 2008 in Beer, Finance. Share ThisCarlsberg has mercilessly shut down the historic Tetley on Leeds brewery in an effort to cut costs in a belt-tightening economy. Yeah, yeah the loss of a historic brewery like Tetley; which has been brewed on the site since 1822 and will be moved to some other brewery down south. I guess in these wonderful [...]
Just some stuff that made me chuckle today…
Seems Balloon Juice doesn’t care for Sam Adams Hefe:
Sam Adams Hefeweizen is so bad it should be a felony. If Obama does usher in the NEW WORLD ORDER, first on the chopping block are these jackasses for their crimes against the reinheitsgebot. Christ, this is ten pounds [...]
Coopers Vintage Ale 2008 — Let it sit
1 Comment Published by Jason October 30th, 2008 in Beer. Share ThisI’m a huge fan of barley-wines like Old Foghorn and Sierra’s BigFoot — so Cooper’s Vintage Ale 2008 called out to me from the shelf. The bold Porter-y flavor and heavy duty alcohol always make me feel I’m getting prime ROI from my drink. I had to give it a go.
Cooper’s is a popular beer [...]

Someone thinks the killer is dead and unwisely goes to investigate the body only to discover he is still alive.
I remember when I needed an excuse to drink. [...]
So, as I prepared to take the walk to the grill and begin the evenings artisty upon a marinated flank steak, I went to ice box. I’d wanted to give Jack’s Pumpkin Spice Ale a try last night, but I was afraid it wouldn’t be cold enough after just 3 hours in the cooler. Tonight, [...]

0 Comments Published by Joel July 29th, 2008 in Beer. Share ThisDiscovery posts this fantastic update from the world of tree shrews, which are apparently nature’s own lushes:
Even the most ardent beer fans would have trouble subsisting on their favorite brew day in and out, but scientists have just discovered that the pentailed treeshrew lives off a frothy, fermented nectar that smells like beer and has [...]
Imbibe reminds us:
Seventy-five years ago today, April 7, 1933, marked the beginning of the end of Prohibition in the United States. … When the law changed at 12:01 a.m. on April 7, beer flowed legally from taps for the first time in 14 years. These low-alcohol brews would tide the nation over for the [...]
