Narragansett Fest

I definitely have a case of the Mondays. It’s especially worse when I have a really good weekend. But, at least I get to work from home Wednesday-Friday. I have to do some sort of online training. So, at least I don’t have to waste the gas for 3 days, and saying that I commute [...]

Weihenstephaner Festbier

The second review of the night…I finished the movie with my sister. We watched The Bourne Ultimatum. It was actually pretty good. Now, we’re onto watching Chopped on the Food Network. They’re currently on a round that has malted milk balls, pumpkin, pie crust and lamb heart. Seriously…gross. This is one of the last beers [...]

Sly Fox Oktoberfest Lager

And…I’m back from vacation. Unhappily, I might add. I had a great time, even though I managed to get a nasty cold. But, luckily, Aly was nice enough to medicate me and I feel much better today. We had a great time and she was nice enough to even go with me to a beer [...]

Flying Fish Oktoberfish

Ah, Flying Fish. The largest brewery in New Jersey, which really isn’t saying all that much. I used to drink Flying Fish in Philly when I would go out to the bar and didn’t know a lot about beer. I just thought that the taps looked really cool. I’ve pretty much gone through almost all [...]

Heavy Seas Marzen

I’m not a huge fan of Marzens, but I like to try all types of beers, so I picked this one up. I’ve only had one offering from Heavy Seas, before I started this blog, and someone brought it for a Fantasy Baseball draft. Since I’m all about the labels, I thought the label was [...]

Flying Dog Dogtoberfest

Everyone talks about the artwork on the Flying Dog labels, which I totally love. But, the other thing that I really like with Flying Dog is how comprehensive their website is. They offer you tasting notes, like most other breweries, but also allow you to print out a tasting guide with a space for notes, [...]

Terrapin Pumpkinfest

This was a brew that I had been saving for awhile. One of my favorite breweries and my favorite beer style? I was all over it. This is also a pumpkin lager, so it is considered a Marzen/Oktoberfest style. Plus, it’s got an adorable turtle on the label. Really, what more could you ask for? [...]

Leinenkugel Oktoberfest

This was the last beer of the night. Now, if you follow this blog, you know how much I am not a fan of any of the Leinenkugel’s beers that I’ve had. The summer shandy is gross (although a lot of people like it) and every other brew I’ve had from them is underflavored or [...]

Samuel Adams Octoberfest

I had this beer on tap at Blackthorn’s in Kenilworth. I hadn’t been there in a very long time and couldn’t remember how the beer selection was. Although I have Sam Oktoberfest in a bottle in my fridge, there weren’t many other selections, so I thought I’d try this on tap. ABV: 5.3% Style: Marzen/Oktoberfest [...]

Terrapin Boom Shakalager (Side Project 11)

After the holiday weekend, it’s back to the grind. Classes went pretty quickly today, which was nice. I got a lot accomplished at work too. After work, I headed to the gym for a quick workout and did pretty well. I actually threw up a lot more weight then I expected, which is always good. [...]
