Recently, I picked up one of the mixed twelve packs from Magic Hat. It’s been awhile since I’ve grabbed one of these. I used to get at least one every season and they were a mainstay in my fridge. That, and the fact that a lot of the time that I couldn’t get some of [...]

Tommyknocker Hop Strike Black IPA
Posted: February 9, 2012 in American Black Ale, Reviews, Tommyknocker BrewerySo, I finally started feeling better yesterday. This is a really good thing given the fact my first practical day at fire school is Saturday. So, last night my girlfriend took me to a bar that I haven’t been to in forever that actually had 31 taps of brews. This was the first one that [...]
Stone 15th Anniversary Escondidian Imperial Black IPA
Posted: January 16, 2012 in American Black Ale, Reviews, Stone Brewing CompanyWell, at least Monday is over. I didn’t go to the gym today because I was absolutely exhausted. For some reason or another, my girlfriend (who is older than me) thinks that we’re 17 and can be on the phone until 1 in the morning and I can function at work. She’s lucky she’s cute [...]
Grand Teton Trout Hop Black IPA
Posted: August 23, 2011 in American Black Ale, Grand Teton Brewing Co, ReviewsAnother day, another beer. I had a crappy day at the gym.

My girlfriend is a diehard Mets fan, so needless to [...]

Full Sail Bump In The Night (Brewmaster Reserve 2011)
Posted: March 24, 2011 in American Black Ale, Full Sail Brewing Company / Tasting Room and Pub, ReviewsIt’s almost Friday. I seriously can’t wait. I have to plan the tailgate tomorrow with Joe (I thought I was going to plan it today but never got to it). Saturday, I’m going to an auction with my family and Sunday is reserved for lots and lots of homework. I’m really excited to almost be [...]
BrewDog/Stone Bashah
Posted: February 25, 2011 in American Black Ale, Black IPA/Cascadian Dark Ale, BrewDog Ltd, Reviews, Stone Brewing CompanyIt’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 [...]
