Brooklyn Brewery Sorachi Ace
Admittedly, I am somewhat of a sucker for good label design. I was attracted by this one, and of course I trust Brooklyn Brewery--but I am unfamiliar with the (apparently rare) Sorachi Ace hop,...

Stone Brewing Sour over Mustard Caper
News today that Stone Brewing Company, in yet another example of corporate irresponsibility, was led astray by a mustard manufacturer in San Diego...
Left Hand Brewing’s Good JuJu
Left Hand Brewing Co. has some pretty interesting beers in their lineup. The Milk Stout, the Smoke Jumper Smoked Porter, Fade to Black (a favorite of mine) and then I ran across Good Ju Ju, a beer brewed with Fresh Ginger. This one peaked my interest for a couple of...

Stone Ruination IPA
Stone boasts some of the most artful and verbose labels I’ve ever seen — but the real question is how do their beers taste! I opened this beer and was greeted with a strong hop aroma immediately. I’m reminded of the Gubna IPA from Oskar Blues, which is an impressive...
Sierra Nevada Summerfest
I live in Florida and it’s 90 degrees for 4-6 months of out the year. Therefore I get summer more than most others. Still, just like the rest of the country, we have to wait for seasonal beers. It’s always refreshing to have a “Summer” beer just like in December...

Angry Pepper Waterside Smokeshack and Grill
The Angry Pepper is a nice hidden treasure of Maderia Beach, with a beer selection that is a very pleasant surprise. Located next to a strip mall shopping center off the corner of a busy intersection, the Angry Pepper smokes away 12-16 hours a day making some of the best...

Hop Damn Triple IPA
This fantastic ale is a Triple IPA (rather than a Tripel IPA)--not something you see every...
Southern Tier Big Red Imperial Red Ale
The Southern Tier Big Red Imperial Red Ale is big and bold, with plenty of...
Cigar City Humidor Series IPA
I didn’t hesitate to buy this beer when i saw it–I’ve been hearing about Cigar City’s Humidor Series for a while now, and dying to try anything. This beer evidently won a gold medal at the 2009 GABF, so it certainly has some hype to live up to. Does it? ...
Tilburg’s Dutch Brown Ale
Quality. Tradition. This is what Tilburg’s boasts on its tiny label. While I’m not very familiar with the tradition behind this beer, its quality is something we can all discuss. Aroma is malty and roasty, with a hint of hops, like a good stong brown ale. This beer sits somewhere...
The Bruery Saison de Lente
I love a good saison. As Garrett Oliver wrote in The Brewmaster’s Table, a good saisons is perfect any time of year, and with any food. This is a good saison. It pours with a foamy white head, and an airy aroma of piney floral hops, with a touch of the...
Cigar City Oatmeal Cookie Stout
I’m not sure at what point I fell in love with beer. I don’t believe it was the first one I drank. That was a 40 oz. Old English in my friend Jose’s backyard when I was 13. I puked. It wasn’t good times. I think within the last two-three...
Magic Hat Lucky Kat IPA
Anyways, I'm game to try any IPA at least once, plus this has a kick ass...
Southampton Saison Deluxe
I recommend not pairing it with nothing at all, to savor the experience with your closest loved ones who will no doubt find this beer enjoyable, or at least...
