Arrivederci dry Feb, we’re ushering in an extra dry March with an extra dry pilsner after an extra day February. An upholder of the Bavarian Purty Laws, this Friesisches Brauhaus offering is straight from Jever, Germany* to my glass via Brooklyn New York. From the...
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...
“Wasn't she a beer drinkin' woman? Don't ya know, man don't ya know?” In 1941 Memphis Slim* was singing about his date at the Ruby Tavern who drank away all his money! I’ve heard of blind dates, but this sounded like a blind drunk date. Fast forward to some 30 years...
Another offering from our a Swedish gypsy brewer Omnipollo* was my wing can for the bud’s season opener last night. Another Swede, Nylander,** contributed to an exciting win over the much hated Habs. But the hat trick hero of the night was Matthews who was shooting,...
I’m what you might call a lazy fisherman. I’m out on the lake lots enjoying the sunset and the peace and quiet. Nothing bothering me, sometimes not even the fish. But I’ve wet the net often enough and I catch my fair share of pickerel, and some high flying weed hawgs....

Farmer Steve will be the first to tell you that cheap is good, but not good enough. Cheap beer is good only if the beer is good. The Yup!Beer claim to fame is cheap beer. But good too. Yup!Lite achieved the COMDB Super Suds status seal of approval. Their latest...
By the graphics on the can this seems to be a golf themed brew but I wasn’t familiar with the concept of “two putt” so I had to look it up. It seems that some golfers, I assume professionals, once they get their golf ball on the green, only take two putts to get it in...
Watching a battle of the birds, the Jays, and the Orioles. After our bird boys in blue tied it up early, the wheels fell off and the game was gone to the birds, the orange and black birds that is. Farmer Steve said “bad time for a slump”. Most days it’s a bad day for...
Well the summer is finally here in full force and while I do enjoy the great outdoors and all those summer activities, they can create a powerful thirst. Nothing better than to quaff a cool one in the summer. This beer looked delicious right out of the can with a deep...
