Troegs Nugget Nectar (Revisit)

So, for the past few weeks, I’ve been going back and editing old posts. It was part of my “Beer Resolutions” after the blog hit a year. For me, the blog is a bit of a time capsule. I tend to talk about some aspects of my personal life, so going back and reading them [...]

Rogue XS Imperial Red

Another day over. Today wasn’t as bad at work. Plus, it’s getting closer to the weekend, which is nice. I’m also headed down to the Atlantic City Beer Fest this weekend. It just so happens that my sister is down there this week for the Builder’s Convention, so I’m headed down to the Borgata on [...]

Lagunitas Imperial Red Ale

Another weekend comes to a close. The weekends really are too short. Today, I spent 5 hours listening to a guy give me a speech about a HVAC system. I think that I learned more today about HVAC systems than I’ve ever known in my life. I ran a bunch of errands today and was [...]

Basil’s Red Rocket Ale

Last night, Katie and I went to Basil T’s in Red Bank. I’ve been there once before and I enjoyed it, but I’ve never tried the beer. Honestly, for me, it’s a weird concept. An upscale Italian restaurant with beer? It really doesn’t work for me. Unfortunately, the food and the service were not up [...]

Flying Fish ESB Amber Ale

Last night, Katie and I hit up a new sports bar that I found in Marlboro. Although I’ve been down in this area for over a year now, I’m still not all that familiar with it. So, when I was driving home from her house on Wednesday, I found this place on my way home [...]

Bell’s Amber Ale

Here’s the second review of the night. This came from a day trip to Pennsylvania. I picked up a mixed six-pack of Bell’s Brewery beers, which I can’t get in New Jersey. I’ve only had a few Bell’s brews, but what I’ve had from them, I’ve tended to really like. Given that this is a [...]

Lagunitas Censored

So, no review yesterday because I took Katie out to this great restaurant in Asbury for our version of Valentine’s Day. They pretty much didn’t have any beers on their beer list that I hadn’t reviewed, so instead, I was drinking martinis. I had one that was amazing. It was vanilla vodka (my favorite), with [...]

16 Mile Amber Sun Ale

Okay, it’s snowing in October. What the hell, Mother Nature? This is absolutely ridiculous. I passed two really bad accidents today and the snow wasn’t even sticking. I’m also brewing another batch of beer today to get through this insanity. Someone suggested that I call it October Blizzard. It’s a brown ale, so I’m not [...]

Mendocino Red Tail Ale

It’s almost the weekend. I have some plans to hit up one of my favorite bar restaurants tomorrow, which I’m definitely looking forward to. It’s also Jersey Shore night and one of my favorite past times is tweeting the things that my sister says during it. She’s absolutely hilarious. So, onto the beer for the [...]

Maine Beer Company Zoe

This is definitely a two-review type of night, especially after the week that I had. At least I have next Friday off, which is good because next Thursday is IPA day. I’m thinking of hitting up Philly and trying to find some Pliny. Well, that’s what one of my buddies wants to do because he’s [...]
