Kane Overhead

This was the first beer that I had on Saturday. I tried this new beer place called Nip-n-Tuck in Long Branch. I will be writing up a whole review on this place, but the beer and the food were great and the prices were incredibly reasonable. The ambiance was a little…interesting, to say the least, [...]

Terrapin Hopzilla

Another workday over with! Today wasn’t bad. It got a little crazy at the end of the day and conference calls are never fun. I’m home now, but definitely sore from the gym. I stopped by the library on the way home. Since I have a two-hour daily commute, I listen to audiobooks religiously. I’m [...]

Mikkeller Hop Burn Double Imperial Pale Ale

I haven’t had a lot of beers from Mikkeller, which is shocking. It’s a brewery that really impresses me. They put out so many different beers and they tend to push the envelope. They especially put an emphasis on hugely hoppy brews, which are definitely in my wheelhouse. So, time to pop this one open. [...]

Old Schoolhouse Brewers Reserve Imperial IPA

Katie and I went to the gym tonight. She suggested that we do legs tonight, which is probably my least favorite weight day. But, being the good girlfriend that I am, I decided that I would gladly oblige. I think about halfway through the workout, she regretted that decision. She’s definitely going to be sore [...]

Oskar Blues Deviant Dale’s IPA

Yesterday was a relatively busy day. My sister and I hit up Home Depot in the rain and bought some stone. And yes, I totally unloaded the stone from the car in the pouring rain. I was quite a sight. So, onto the brew. ABV: 8% Style: American Double/Imperial IPA Trivia: According to the brewery [...]

Green Flash Palate Wrecker

I love weekends when the weather is like this. I got a bunch of home improvement projects done today and spent most of the day outside. The meow even came outside to hang out on his leash. He really loves the outside. He just sits there and chews on the grass and looks at the [...]

Sierra Nevada Hoptimum (2012)

Today was a pretty busy day for me. I woke up a little on the late side (probably as a result of not getting home until 0300 the previous night) and then made breakfast with my sister. She made this amazing sausage, egg and cheese biscuits. Then, the rest of the day was pretty much [...]

Southern Tier 2XIPA

It’s finally the weekend. It was definitely a long week, so I’m glad to see it go. I have a bunch of things to do tomorrow because I’m smoking a pork shoulder on Sunday for Easter. We’re doing a non-traditional Easter, plus Katie is coming over, so it should be fun. This is another beer [...]

Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA (2011)

This weekend, I hit up the Atlantic City Beer Festival. I had way too many brews to list and had a blast (see gratuitous picture below). I didn’t do many reviews while I was down there (honestly, the festival kinda shot my palate), but I did manage to have this brew at dinner. I have [...]

Southern Tier Oak Aged Unearthly (Imperial India Pale Ale)

This was the second brew that I had at Maloney’s. Since Katie was nice enough to drive, I could push the envelope with the ABV of the brews that I was having. Southern Tier seems to be a brewery that I tend to ignore, for reasons unknown. They have beers that are pretty unique and [...]
