This was a review I did yesterday, but forgot to write up. As I’m attempting to write this up, my cat is using me as a jungle gym. It’s like, no matter what I’m doing, he insists on climbing on me so that my focus is on him and I start petting him. And usually [...]

This is the first of the beers that I reviewed on vacation. Now, I’ve been to Provincetown, MA at least a half a dozen times. I never remember them having a great beer selection. I mean, the majority of people there are drinking Bud Light or Miller Lite. But, my girlfriend saw an Irish pub [...]

I seriously can’t wait until this week is over. It’s been a crazy week at work and tomorrow is my birthday. I’m having a barbecue this weekend and I’m planning on playing some beer pong. A nice long weekend with some close friends is exactly what I need after this week. Anyways, tonight’s brew is [...]

It’s been a few days since I’ve done a beer tasting. I’ve been trying to drop weight for my birthday and I’m down another 6 pounds. So, I figured that since I’m taking a day off from the gym tonight, I’d do a quick review. This is a beer that I actually bought a six-pack [...]

This was the second brew of the day. I was between having this one and a stout. I chose this one to go with my lunch (which was this wonderful vegetarian sandwich). I think I had this beer the last time that I went to Triumph. I really don’t remember a lot about it, which [...]

I couldn’t be happier that today is over. I took tomorrow off, so I have a three-day weekend. I have no extensive plans for tomorrow, but tonight, my girlfriend and I went to a local bar/pub for dinner. They had a few craft beers on the menu, but it’s getting to the point (and this [...]

This brew was the last offering I received in the gift pack from my father. This paired with Samuel Smith’s Nut Brown Ale and Samuel Smith’s Tadcaster Oatmeal Stout. The bottles themselves are really pretty but also look old school. ABV: 5% Style: English India Pale Ale Trivia: According to wikipedia, “The brewery operates over [...]

This was the second beer that I had at the Pour House. I saw it on tap, and given that I tend to like Stone’s stuff, I thought it would be decent. Instead of giving me the brew on tap (or asking), the waitress brought me a bomber. I told her that I wanted it [...]

I had this brew on draft at Buffalo Wild Wings in Monmouth Mall. I found out that each BBW can have 5 taps of whatever they want. This one happened to have Long Trail IPA. I’ve had a few other Long Trail offerings and they have been decent, but nothing to write home about. ABV: [...]

This was one of the beers that Nic’s cousin had that he considers a “go-to” beer. I’ll actually be visiting the brewery in a few weeks for my birthday. I’ve never had this one before and I was in an IPA mood, so I was more than willing to try it. ABV: 6.3% Style: English [...]
