Beer and Gender Equality: A Call To Action
I’m currently on a beer review hiatus while I explore the magical world of home brewing (by ‘explore’ I actually mean jump into the deep end, up to my neck in sacks of grain, pounds of hops, several constantly bubbling fermenters, and a near-weekly fresh keg!) but I felt it necessary to address something I’ve been seeing and hearing more and more of late. And, I’ve been wanting to do some beer…

Beer Review 0600: Boulevard Two Jokers Double-Witbier
Boulevard Brewing Company started as a traditional Bavarian brewhouse on Southwest Boulevard in Kansas City. The first beer made, in 1989, was Boulevard Pale Ale, and John McDonald, the founder, delivered the first keg of it to a local restaurant. Fast forward to 2006, when the brewery made major expansions, increasing from a modest 6,000 barrels to the aforementioned 600,000 barrels. Quite a…

Beer Review 0599: Stone Go To IPA
Is this thing on? Back with a beer review -- Stone Go To IPA.
With session IPA becoming a growing trend in craft beer, you had to know a low-alcohol hop-bomb made by the hop geniuses at Stone Brewing Company (Escondido, California) would soon be on the horizon. In March of this year, they released ‘Go To IPA,’ named such because many claimed this would be the beer they would most often reach for when session drinking.
Session beers often stir up a bit of…

Redux Review 0024: Founders Doom Imperial IPA
What happens when you age a bourbon barrel-aged Imperial IPA in the best way possible? Today, we’re here to find out.
Without question, Founders (Grand Rapids, Michigan) Backstage Series brews are the hardest beers for me to obtain. Demand and hype are through the roof. Most shops only get one case, which in terms of the 750 ml servings these beers are doled out it, equals just twelve bottles…

Redux Review 0023: Dogfish Head Red & White Wheat Ale
Redux Review 0023: Dogfish Head Red & White Wheat Ale
Dogfish Head’s (Milton, Delaware) Red & White, a high alcohol wheat beer that spends time aging on wood, is probably my favorite beer from the eccentric brewery. I reviewed it back on May 14, 2012, and awarded it 95 points,which is classic on my rating scale. At that time, I decided to squirrel away a few bottles and return periodically — two years later, we’re making that second trip, and it is…

Redux Review 0022: Olde Hickory The Event Horizon Imperial Stout (2012)
Back in December 2012, I first reviewed Olde Hickory’s The Event Horizon, a limited-release Imperial Stout aged in bourbon barrels. I gave it high praise, awarding it 95 points, calling it “perhaps the finest example of chocolate in a beer that I’ve had to date.” Why not age one and see how it does over the course of time? That’s why we are here today.
Olde Hickory Brewery is located in Hickory,…

Beer Review 0598: Samuel Adams Rebel IPA
The Boston Beer Company decided to add a new beer to their year-round lineup for 2014, and it’s a popular take on the India Pale Ale: they’re doing it “West Coast-style,” using hops popular in many IPAs that come from the left coast.
Founded in 1984 by Jim Koch, Boston Beer Company are the makers of the Samuel Adams brand, named for the American patriot famous for his role in the Boston Tea…

Back on April 14, 2012, when I first reviewed this beer, I pegged it as a brew that would likely age nicely. Today, we’re here to find out…
Two years ago, Lagunitas had just announced that they would be expanding from just one facility in Petaluma, California to two — the second would be located in the middle of the country, Chicago, to take advantage of distribution opportunities. Lagunitas…

Redux Review 0020: 21st Amendment Monk’s Blood Belgian Dark Ale
Here’s a beer that I’ve been looking forward to trying again for a very long time — back in early 2012, I sampled 21st Amendment’s (San Francisco, California) Monk’s Blood, a Belgian Dark Ale brewed with eight different malts, Belgian candi sugar, cinnamon, vanilla bean, local figs, and aged on oak chips. AND SERVED FROM A CAN!
I rated it 91 points,and I was so impressed with the beer that I…

Redux Review 0019: Sierra Nevada Oatmeal Stout (Beer Camp #45)
One of the better (if not the best) beers to come out of Sierra Nevada’s Beer Camp Series was released in the 2012 mixed pack, and was an Oatmeal Stout. Originally named “Snowed In Stout,” it was brewed by camp attendees to celebrate Chico, California’s lone snow day in 2011. The beer hit 9% ABV (alcohol by volume) and 51 IBUs (International Bitterness Units), and was brewed with a generous…

Redux Review 0018: Thirsty Dog Siberian Night Russian Imperial Stout Aged in Bourbon Barrels
Today, we’re taking a look back at a rare beer, an expensive beer, and one that’s certainly well-aged. In 2013, Thirsty Dog (Akron, Ohio) released a bourbon barrel aged version of their Siberian Night Russian Imperial Stout. I reviewed the regular beer, awarding it 93 points;I rated the barrel-aged version even higher, giving it 97 points. What makes this beer even more special is that it was…

Redux Review 0017: Dogfish Head Positive Contact Wheat Ale
Redux Review 0017: Dogfish Head Positive Contact Wheat Ale
I first took a look at Dogfish Head’s Positive Contact back in September 2012; I awarded the beer 94 points,and while I typically wouldn’t recommend aging a beer like this for too long, the format it came in (a six-pack of 750 ml. bottles) meant that I still have a few kicking around. So I thought it would be an interesting experiment to open one up with around a year and a half of age and see…

Beer Review 0597: Victory Old Horizontal Barleywine Style Ale
The story of Victory Brewing Company (Downington, Pennsylvania) goes all the way back to 1973 — granted, the two principal founders were only in fifth grade, meeting for the first time on a school bus that would take them to a new school. Friends like that are hard to find; the two remained bonded as they went to college, on opposite sides of the coast.
Their names are Ron Barchet and Bill…

Nantahala Brewing is located in Bryson City, North Carolina, which is surrounded on all sides by the Great Smoky Mountains, the Cowee Mountains, and the Plott Balsams.

After licensing, they started producing beer in…

Beer Review 0595: Colorado Guanabara Imperial Stout
I’m certain we’ve never reviewed a Brazilian beer here before; after 594 reviews, I’d say it is about time.
Cervejaria Colorado began brewing in Brazil in 1995, and rather than attempting to recreate American and other style craft beers, they set out to embrace their Brazilian heritage and brew beers with ingredients that can only be found there. They’ve got beers brewed with coffee, cane sugar,…

Pisgah Brewing Company is located just east of Asheville, North Carolina, in Black Mountain, and they have placed an emphasis on using local and organic ingredients. Once designated a USDA certified organic brewery, the company recently lost that status due to the limited availability of organic hops. According to Pisgah, other, much larger breweries with more monetary influence gobble up the…

Beer Review 0593: New Belgium Abbey Belgian-Style Dubbel
New Belgium began production in 1991 after Jeff Lebesch biked through Europe and was inspired by all of the good beer over there. Upon returning, he started New Belgium in Fort Collins, Colorado; they became the first brewery to be powered by wind, showing they have an environmental conscience — and they offer ownership stake to anyone that has been employed by the brewery for at least one year.
