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 [...]

After 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. [...]

The 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 [...]

This 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 [...]

After 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 [...]

Fall 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 [...]

Another 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 [...]

I’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 [...]

This 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 [...]
