I grabbed this one out of the fridge since I’m trying to do a “first in, first out” type of deal. I’ve had both of the Victory and Stone offerings prior to this, so I pretty much know what to expect. So far, I think Victory is better than Stone’s. But, we’ll see if this [...]

Dogfish Head Saison DuBUFF

Posted: September 26, 2010 in American Amber/Red Lager, Cricket Hill Brewing Company, ReviewsAfter a bit of a hiatus, I’m back. Due to being in school, I can’t promise daily posts, although the extras on the weekend should hopefully make up for this. I’ve also been drinking more wine, which is odd, as I don’t like it as much as beer, but a little change is always good. [...]
Another long day, but at least Monday’s over with. It was a productive day at school and at work. I even got some homework done, which is always nice. Tonight’s offering is another Magic Hat brew, courtesy of the fall variety pack. This is the current IPA on tour, which is also available in cases. [...]
Magic Hat Hex
Posted: September 19, 2010 in American Amber/Red Ale, Magic Hat Brewing Company, ReviewsThe Eagles won, the Jets won, what more could I ask for from Sunday? Perhaps the Giants to lose, but I won’t push it. For tonight’s selection, Magic Hat’s seasonal. I got this in their mix pack for fall, but they’re also putting this out in cases, which surprises me. I didn’t know that this [...]
Abita Purple Haze
Posted: September 18, 2010 in Abita Brewing Company, Fruit/Vegetable Beer, ReviewsThis was the second beer that I had at Court Jester. I’ve had this beer more times than I can remember. It used to be my favorite beer before I expanded my horizons into IPAs and the like. So, I have a pretty good idea of what this tastes like and how much I’ll enjoy [...]
Blue Point Toasted Lager
Posted: September 18, 2010 in American Amber/Red Lager, Blue Point Brewing Company, ReviewsAfter spending the day brewing beer (this was my birthday present from Nic), we stopped at a local bar and grill to have lunch. The bar boasted having 30 beers on tap, but there wasn’t much that was intriguing. It annoys me when a place advertises the number of taps they have as a way [...]
Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale
Posted: September 16, 2010 in Pumpkin Ale, Reviews, Smuttynose Brewing CompanyFall seems like it is finally upon us, which means one of my favorite flavors: pumpkin! This means pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin pie, pumpkin coffee, and of course, pumpkin beer! This was the first pumpkin beer that I picked up this fall. I’ve had some great offerings from Smutty, so I don’t think I’ll be [...]
Ramstein Blonde Wheat Beer
Posted: September 14, 2010 in Hefeweizen, High Point Brewing Company, ReviewsAnother day…I finally got home from the gym. I slept like absolute crap last night, so my workout was pretty pathetic, but at least I got a workout in. I also just ordered some sushi for dinner (my favorite!) and am finishing the end of Watchmen. What goes better with dinner and a movie than [...]
River Horse Hop-a-lot-amus
Posted: September 13, 2010 in American Double/Imperial IPA, Reviews, River Horse Brewing CompanyI’m having a craving while watching Monday Night Football. That craving is for hops. I went to the gym and watched the Jets while I worked out. Nic is not going to be happy when she gets home. I’m watching the Chiefs and they look sick. Since when did they get good? I also won [...]
Leinenkugel Oktoberfest
Posted: September 12, 2010 in Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company, Marzen, Oktoberfest, ReviewsThis was the last beer of the night. Now, if you follow this blog, you know how much I am not a fan of any of the Leinenkugel’s beers that I’ve had. The summer shandy is gross (although a lot of people like it) and every other brew I’ve had from them is underflavored or [...]
