Smuttynose Old Brown Dog Ale

I had this beer last night at Moore’s Tavern in Freehold. They have a few different craft beer selections and after they didn’t have my first choice, this is the one that I went with. I was just talking about how I haven’t had a lot of Smuttynose brews and I’ve now had two this [...]

Carton Brunch.Dinner.Grub.

Later on Saturday night, I ended up at the Globe in Red Bank with Katie. She works down the street, so I end up at the Globe quite often. They have decent food and decent beer, although not a huge list of craft beers. I chose this offering from Carton. The bar was pretty dark, [...]

Terrapin Reunion Beer 2011

What a day. I didn’t get home last night (well, I guess technically this morning) until almost 0400 (and again, I blame the girlfriend). It was snowing when I left to drive home and by the time I got home, the street was covered. I spent the morning shoveling and salting the driveway and walkway [...]

Abita Pecan Harvest Ale

Today was a pretty busy day for me. I ran a bunch of errands and helped my sister pick up about 40 bricks. Tonight, I’m just hanging out at home watching a movie with my sister, so what better time to do a review? Anyways, since I’ve been talking about vacation so much, here are [...]

Sierra Nevada Tumbler Autumn Brown Ale

I’m back into the swing of things after vacation and I’m feeling much better after being sick. I skipped the gym tonight because I’m waiting until I feel 100% to go back (and I think if I get sick again, my girlfriend is going to be none too happy). I did buy some beer when [...]

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 [...]

Brooklyn Brown Ale

Today was another crazy day. I did accomplish a lot, which included fixing the PS3, so I played a game of Black Ops online. I think I’m going to spend the weekend bonding with my PS3. I also got my brew kettle, which means that I can actually brew this weekend. I’m totally excited. Since [...]

Abita Christmas Ale

I’ve been falling behind on my beer reviews. I hate when this happens. Tonight’s review is from one of the breweries that really got me into craft beers. I used to love Purple Haze and the Strawberry Harvest beer wasn’t bad either. I just haven’t picked any other varieties lately because I’ve gotten into so [...]

Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron

So, tonight, I picked up the Summer 12 pack of Magic Hat because we were having another beer lover over (Lisa). Lisa was also the person who so generously supplied me with the Abita Satsuma. After having a few Magic Hat brews, I broke out this Dogfish Head. ABV: 12% Style: American Brown Ale Trivia: [...]
