Sawdust took us on a Long Dark Voyage to Uranus but this time the voyage “end” is unknown. What is known is how we’re going to get there, on a big bright red rocket. That’s right, this beer is a Long Dark Voyage Red Rocket. So where does it say “read the fine print”?...
"You’ve gotta ask yourself a question: ”Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?” * I sure wouldn’t be feeling lucky with a steely eyed Dirty Harry sticking a 44 magnum in my face, no matter how many shots I thought he had fired. But I do feel lucky pouring a Get Lucky...
Lost Craft aren’t just missing their boat, but there is no gin or dry vermouth in this Martini either. No classy cosmopolitan this one, nor down and dirty, or even a downtown big apple Manhattan project, this is an Espresso nitro don’t you know. For all you...
December is the big birthday month. That’s right, Farmer Steve and Fonger both born on the same December day. Happy beer day boys, or in Fonger’s case happy bong day. JT calls them brothers from another mother. I insulted both of them by asking if they were identical...

Ever get thinking while you’re drinking? Me too. Some days it seems like it’s all oysters and no pearls. I got thinking that it’s high time I was due for a pearl. But be careful what you wish for. In Steinbeck’s “The Pearl” Kino finds the pearl of his dreams, but it...
Here’s the thing. I have had an ongoing struggle with vanilla in beers, and most of the time I wish they would just extract it. When it comes to brewing with the fickle beans, subtle is the approach that wins the day. Enter Rorschach’s Decadence series. The word...
Dublin Bay is the home of Guinness, the pride of Ireland and for many years an iconic Irish company, now owned by a British International beverage giant.* I am a Guinness fan and this Something in the Water nitro pays homage to original home of the famous stout. As...
