Mikkeller/BrewDog I Hardcore You

I hate Mondays like no other. Not that I think I’m alone in that, but it doesn’t help that I’ve been studying all night for a midterm tomorrow. So, now that I’m on a study break before I go to bed early, I think I deserve a nice hoppy beer. ABV: 9.5% Style: American Double/Imperial [...]

Bud Light Lime

This was my second brew of the night. I know, I should have chosen something else, but I used to drink these before I got into beer. I wondered now that my palate was a little bit more cultured, so to speak, how bad I would think this beer was. This was a big mistake… [...]

Samuel Adams Noble Pils

I hate Sundays, primarily because I have to work Mondays. Last night was a great night with lots of good beer flowing and I got to break in my new grill. I’m trying out new recipes for the tailgate for opening night and my taste testers couldn’t decide between the chimichurri or maple brown sugar [...]

BrewDog/Stone Bashah

It’s been a crazy week. I’m so happy that it’s the weekend. I was in a really bad mood today, so to make myself feel better, I made an unnecessary beer run and then went to Wegmans to get stuff to try out some recipes to tailgate for opening night. I came home, prepped some [...]

Mikkeller Chipotle Porter

Wow, I am sore as anything. I’ve been back at the gym for a few weeks steadily now, but I’ve started hitting the weights really hard and heavy. I am definitely feeling this week. No joke, everything is sore. But, at least I’m starting to see results and I always feel better when I’m at [...]

Dogfish Head World Wide Stout

This is one of those beers that I’ve been waiting to try for awhile. And after a bad day, nothing makes a day better like a good beer. I’m wondering if the brew is going to stand up to the all the hype. This was one of the first “extreme” beers. ABV: 18% Style: American [...]

Long Trail Brewmaster Series Centennial Red

Yet another offering from Long Trail. This was popped open after many weeks of passing it in the fridge and opting for other beers. I picked it up because I am really trying to get over my whole distaste for ambers/red ales. As I’ve said before, they’re not bad, just not my favorite style. So, [...]

Tommyknocker Maple Nut Brown Ale

Another day, another beer. I picked this up in a mixed six-pack because nothing else really caught my eye. I pretty much grabbed the first beer I saw, which was this one. ABV: 4.5% Style: American Brown Ale Trivia: According to the Tommyknocker website, “A delicate amount of Maple syrup is added to each barrel [...]

Four Loko – Grape

Sometimes I don’t know why I do the things that I do. This includes (but is not limited to) buying this malt beverage. I think I’m going to regret this decision… ABV: 12% Style: Malt Beverage Trivia: According to wikipedia, “Four is a line of alcoholic energy drinks sold by Phusion Projects of Chicago, Illinois. [...]

Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter

This was the second brew that I had at The Pour House. I’ve only had one other, the Great Lakes Commodore Perry IPA and I remember being impressed with it. ABV: 5.8% Style: American Porter Trivia: According to wikipedia, “SS Edmund Fitzgerald (nicknamed ‘Mighty Fitz,’ ‘Fitz,’ or ‘Big Fitz’), was an American Great Lakes freighter, [...]
