When I have the pleasure of visiting a taproom like the Ports, or similar establishments, I’m usually a flight risk, so I try to order one and done. But this Flight doesn’t seem risky at all. Another US offering, this time a light shorty from the oldest brewer in the...
Nick, Nora and I out on the town to down a Thin Man,* and that meant a visit to Beertown in downtown Hogtown. My man Sunny tells me to try their collab brew Trial by Muskrat. Which reminds me of that damn otter that keeps shitting on my dock, and I’m finding muskrat...
At a Hy steaks dinner, way out of my price range. Luckily the only thing I was paying was attention and compliments. Had a great chat with the bartender who once he discovered I was a beer reviewer (I told him in hopes of a freebie, no dice) asked me what has become a...
Rhymin’ Simon was keeping warm through a hazy shade of winter, while Nat King Cole was having some lazy hazy crazy summer days. Not to be outdone, Tori was in a spring induced haze.* Me, I’m hopping on board a Hazecraft which will hopefully lead to an out of this...

It looks like Shawn & Ed, the ampersand completes the brand, have ditched the thermos bottle and are back in black with a can full of dark lager. A simple understated and I must admit, sharp looking can of beer. A debutante at the black and white ball, a pretty...
“All hail the king of hops”, so say the Amsterdam brewers* about their imperial IPA. If it’s big numbers that make you King, this brew has them in spades. But Peter Parker and I both know that with great power comes great responsibility.* The current version of...
I popped and poured this puppy, an MVP premium, to watch the big game. Without Dallas or Buffalo playing, I didn’t have a horse in the race, but I was hoping the MVP would be Cafferty or Purdy. But we all know the real MVP of the game was Taylor Swift. I must admit, I...
