Midnight Smooth

Midnight Smooth

I am visiting the dark side again, quaffing another dark cold one. On the can it says “Let the midnight stars light your way to this dark lager.” I am here for the beer, not a fancy-pants poetry reading. I say let the beer do the talking. I like the name, Midnight...

Don’t Eat the Sushi

Don’t Eat the Sushi

If you are at a Japanese restaurant beware of a dish they call "sushi". I had to send mine back, it was raw. But if you are at a Japanese restaurant of any repute they may have a Sapporo for you, certainly a healthier choice than raw fish. A Sapporo Premium* to be...

A Gluten for Punishment

A Gluten for Punishment

I get easily confused these days.  It says this lager is brewed in Spain but for some reason Moosehead is in the mix somehow? “The most award winning gluten free beer in the world” according to their website.  But on the label it says, and I quote ” This product is...

No Shirt No Shoes No Service

Skinny and Stout. I get it. So here's what it says on the can, ”The night is quiet. You're sitting on the deck with your friends enjoying the warm night air as it blows gently in off the lake. Everything is calm. And someone yells, let's go skinny-dipping “. the story...

Anybody for a Cold One?

Anybody for a Cold One?

Despite the confusing name Whiskeyjack*, I do like that they call themselves a beer company rather than a brewery. I'm not sure why that naming appeals to me, it just does. Do I have to explain everything? It’s an opinion dammit. According to the can “this beer is...

Draft or Draught?

Draft or Draught?

We used to order trays of cheap draft (I think it used to be spelled draught) in a bar where the entertainment was the guy drunker than you were, and occasionally the entertainment was you. You ordered draft (or draught), a tray was as many glasses as could fit on the...

7 Fewer Politicians gets my Vote

It took me longer to type the name of this beer than it did to write the rest of the review! A Czech Dark Lager, sounds delicious. There is a long drawn out story of how in the 1400’s seven politicians were thrown from an upper floor window, and so on and so forth....

Where did I put that boat?

Where did I put that boat?

Lost Craft breweries. Reminded me of that movie, won a couple of awards, with Leo and Kate freezing their asses off. That’s right, Titanic. I lost a boat once too and I think there was some beer involved in that fiasco, but that’s another story. The name Revivale...

A Dark and Mysterious Wild Boar

As I poured this beer I thought to myself, this is dark. There may be fifty shades of grey but there is one shade of dark. How dark you ask. Dark as my darkest thoughts*, well not quite that dark, but pretty dark! They have a warthog (a Pumbaa for those Disney movie...
