Clear as a Bell

Clear as a Bell

This beer poured very light golden, almost yellow. A few bubbles but they disappeared quickly leaving a very clear beer. Invisible man clear. A thin white head which lasted about as long as a politician’s promise. A fresh aroma with malt in the background. A nice...

Last Beer in the Trilogy

My old buddy JT reviewed Hopped & Confused Vol 2, a Hazy Session IPA with a bear and beaver consulting their map, seemingly lost in the woods. Volume 3 is a Session IPA, so the haze has cleared, the beaver is gone* and the bear has found a giant hop bud, so maybe...

Like or Love?

I am not the most politically correct person in the world but I am trying.* One way I do that is to run some ideas past the missus. For example, not long ago I asked the wife “Have you seen what is going on with these perverted men taking advantage of women and being...

What in the World?

Flying Monkeys, purveyors of fine IPAs. But can they brew a lager? When I saw this beer on the shelf I had to try it out. I have been impressed with the FM IPA offerings I have tried to date so I was eager to see how they handled a lager. On the can it poses a deep...

The Best?

The Best?

Husband: “Last night you said I was the best!” Wife: “No dear, last night I said you tried your best.” It cooled off in the evening and the lake calmed, a sliver moon illuminated the water and it seemed like the perfect evening to break out an amber. But not just any...

My Skinny Little Greek Beer

My Skinny Little Greek Beer

What the Hellas am I doing drinking a Greek beer? It was in my beer of the month club case, that’s what. Me and the missus went to Greece for our honeymoon. That was so long ago I think the Parthenon was under construction when we were there. A golden pour with almost...

Mill St. has certainly embraced the healthy beer drinking* market, with another in their line of Organic offerings. I like Mill St and their beers, particularly their amber lager, so I set the bar (pun intended) high for them. Nice summer evening, chilled glass and a...
