I hate Sunday nights. I really don’t look forward to going back to work on Mondays. At least next week I only have a three-day work week. I also get to spend a few days in Philly for a Philly Beer Week. I can’t wait for that. So many beers and so many bars…Katie doesn’t [...]

Firestone Walker Union Jack India Pale Ale
Posted: May 7, 2012 in American IPA, Firestone Walker Brewing Co, ReviewsThis was the last beer that I had at Twin Light Tap House. After that, I ended up taking the very quick tour at Carton and sampled 5 of their brews. I’ve reviewed most of them on the blog, but I really enjoyed it. I talked beer for awhile with some guys and then headed [...]
Fegley’s Brew Works Hop Explosion
Posted: March 28, 2012 in American IPA, Bethlehem Brew Works, ReviewsThe second review of the night. Katie came over to keep me company tonight, which was really nice. We hung out and watched some baseball and had a great time. So, onto the brew… ABV: 7% Style: American IPA Trivia: According to the brewery website, “The smell of grapefruit, a sweet malt flavor, and oh [...]
Weyerbacher Hops Infusion
Posted: February 17, 2012 in American IPA, Reviews, Weyerbacher Brewing CompanyAnother day, another brew. I haven’t had a brew from Weyerbacher since April 2011. I find their brews on balance to be good, nothing amazing but solid. I also am really digging their new logo. I found the old one to be a bit on the boring side. Onto the brew… ABV: 6.2% Style: American [...]
Another beer review, I know. Well, I worked on this little project today and I not only figured out how many reviews that I’ve done in total (532), but how many different breweries I’ve sampled beers from (172), and that I’ve reviewed about 79% ales, 16% lagers and 5% hybrid brews (as of beers sampled [...]
Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye IPA
Posted: February 12, 2012 in American IPA, Reviews, Sierra Nevada Brewing CompanyNothing much to report today. I got a haircut with my sister and then spent the rest of the day doing Fire Fighter homework. I was exhausted today because yet again, my girlfriend thought that we were 17 and kept me out until 0500 this morning. Now, I’m watching the Grammy’s and reviewing a a [...]
Last night, my girlfriend and I went to an Irish pub in Rumson. Besides having amazing fish and chips and a really good onion soup (made with Guinness), they had a decent beer selection. They actually had two New Jersey beers on tap, one from Carton which is down the road in Atlantic Highlands and [...]
Happy New Year’s everyone! I thought that today was going to be a productive day for me. I had to get a bunch of stuff done because I have to work tomorrow. I was thinking I’d bang out some of the things on my to-do list, clean out my fermentors and start planning my next [...]
Well, the holidays unfortunately took me away from the beer blog. As usual, I left everything until the last minute and I cooked all of Christmas dinner. I didn’t even finish wrapping until 10:00 on Christmas morning. And, because apparently my life isn’t interesting enough lately, I caught someone breaking into my neighbor’s house and [...]
Sierra Nevada Estate Homegrown Wet Hop Ale
Posted: December 18, 2011 in American IPA, Reviews, Sierra Nevada Brewing CompanyWell, the weekend is almost coming to an end. My Eagles are going to win, by a lot, which is always nice. This week is going to be crazy…I can just tell. I have dinner tomorrow night, a party for work in South Jersey on Wednesday and then all the other holiday stuff coming up [...]
