Weyerbacher Merry Monks Ale

Since I skipped a review last night, I’m doubling up tonight. I’m not allowed to go to the beer store until I finish most of the beers in waiting, so I grabbed this one out of the crisper. ABV: 9.3% Style: Tripel Trivia: Weyerbacher is celebrating their 15th year of production in 2010. Random: Every [...]

Best Brews July 2010

I had so many good brews during the month of July. It’s going to be hard to pick only five. This was the first full month of the blog too, so I have way too many brews to choose from. Without further ado: 1. Stone Ruination IPA This was the brew that got me into [...]

Flying Fish Exit 16 (Wild Rice IPA)

For the first time since I started this blog, I didn’t review a beer last night. I worked 13 hours and came home, ate, laid on the couch and passed out. I had this bottle of Flying Fish waiting for review yesterday, but since I was knocked out, I didn’t get to it. Since all [...]

River Horse Lager

It’s almost Friday, although I’m going to have a crazy weekend. Nicole and I are watching the Yankees game, where the Yanks just had a killer 7th inning. I’m a Phillies fan, but I’ll root for the Yanks unless they’re playing the Phils. For tonight’s brew, I pulled out the twelve ouncer of River Horse [...]

Ommegang Three Philosophers

Today, I had an oral project and a midterm for school. Work was crazy and a good day at the gym. I came home and my new work boots and a new Netflix were waiting for me. Nothing goes better with a History Channel series than a bomber of beer, well, at least in my [...]

Val-Dieu Brune

Today was a little crazy. I went to class, then work, then the gym (and did homework while doing cardio), came home and ate, studied for a midterm tomorrow and prepped for an oral presentation and did some yoga. After all that, I am ready for a brew. (I really need some new glassware…) ABV: [...]

Southern Tier Imperial Cherry Saison

Another good day at the gym. I did back, triceps and calves and hit a personal best. I sat down and started to watch Drag U (which is hilarious, by the way), and decided to split a bottle with Nic. ABV: 8% Style: Saison/Farmhouse Ale Trivia: This beer is now retired. This is either a [...]

Terrapin Hopsecutioner India Pale Ale

I picked up a six-pack of this a few weeks ago and kept one to do a review on. I feel like all of a sudden, Terrapin brews came into NJ. So far, they’ve all been great, so keep them coming. I mean that, and they have an endearing little turtle on the bottle. This [...]

Victory Golden Monkey

After spending about 10 hours straight doing homework, I think it’s a good time to do a tasting. This will probably be beer 1 of 2 tonight, given the tedious day that I had. ABV: 9.5% Style: Tripel Trivia: According to wikipedia, “The golden monkey is a species of Old-world monkey found in the Virunga [...]

Brasserie Dupont Saison Dupont

After coming home from dinner with my parents and hanging a mirror in the living room for Nic. It’s oppressively hot, so I decide to go with the Saison Dupont I’ve been chilling in the fridge since this morning, and hopefully it will cool me off. ABV: 6.5% Style: Saison/Farmhouse Ale Trivia: Men’s Journal called [...]
