To quote the immortal writings of E.B.White in reference to her famous porcine provacteur, “That’s some pig”.* After saying that I’m not sure what the pig on the can or the beer monging bacon bronco buster at the porker rodeo have to do with this beer. Kame &...
Ever go out for dinner to a new place and it’s so good you want to tell everyone about it? Ever go out to dinner to a new place and it was so bad you want to tell everyone about it? Unfortunately, our date night last night falls into the second category. The waiter...
In addition to the tasty beer, another thing I love about craft brewers is the name game. Fearless and fun names like Long Dark Voyage to Uranus, Gedit D’faKenya, or Juiced AF come to mind. Today I am reviewing a Goose Island " Beer Hug". I thought my puns were...
