This big city brew started out as foam city. The pop gave way to a push and more flow than ebb and next thing you know, overflow. Nothing serious, I didn’t spill the beans, so no major ounces wasted and no coffee cleanup crew required. As for the beer name Full City...
Editor: Our indomitable craftsman RA takes one for the team on this saison reflux review. An expensive and exotic brew which is not typically in his wheelhouse, or beer fridge, so we are assuming it was a gift. Or even more likely a regift. I had to find a bottle...
What evil lurks in the hearts of men, the Shadow knows.* The mind reader that slapped David Wilcox knows too. ** And they both know beyond a shadow of a doubt. But how about this light, what kind of a shadow will it throw? Another 5 o’clock shadow perhaps? Enough...
On the home front a two-way conversation for me usually involves a lot of listening, the occasional head nod, and me being corrected if I do get a word in edge wise. Case in point is my failed attempt to bring Jello to the company potluck, but that’s another story,...

I find it interesting that a country like Scotland, renowned for bag pipes and haggis, which I consider two of the most unromantic things in the world, has their biggest celebration of the year to honor their romantic poet laureate Robbie Burns.* I skipped the haggis...
From Bench, “the beer from wine country” comes an oaky pilsner, some wood craft so to speak. Oaked usually refers to a process of storing wine in oak barrels before bottling. All that Bench tell us is that this brew has “rustic complexity from the use of oak.” The...
It’s not The Clash,* but London is calling to tell us about their Organic 4PM Sunset suds, their oatmeal stout. And the COM are here to answer the call. So there’s a Sunset going down (sounds redundant) and my train of thought stopped at a station called Sundown, a...
