Ding-a-Ling’s Fat Adventure

 If you follow this blog in any way whatsoever, this isn’t surprising to you, but this will be the last beer review on this website.  I’m going to be re-focusing this site back to where it probably would be best served: my own writing.  So I’m closing it out with a special one. 
This isn’t to [...]

Fat Tire… Is That A Crack About My Weight?

It took some doing, and a couple weeks to orchestrate a meeting, but I was able to procure a bottle of New Belgium Brewery’s Fat Tire Ale.  Quite a story, really.
Many, many months ago–no.  That’s not it.
A friend of mine–let’s call him Wes (since that’s his name)–got in touch and told me that I [...]

Party Beer!

This beer review has been two weeks coming.  This tells you how far in advance I’ve been drinking the beers I review.  Le Wif and I went to a one-year-anniversary party a couple Saturdays ago.  It was our first night out without Le Bebe.  We needed it. 
The party was a good bit more classy than [...]

Dirty Pipes or White Ale?

So, if you  guessed “White Ale,” you win the prize: the rest of this blog post.  The pictured beer is [...]

The Most Depressing Beer I’ve Yet Had

Great Lakes Brewing Company makes a pretty good beer.  Being a guy who’s trying to learn a little bit about beer and its varieties, I’ve been on the lookout for a porter and came across their Edmund Fitzgerald.  I just figured it was a name, until I searched it and came up with this.  I [...]

It’s Possible That I Got a Bad Bottle

A couple weeks ago, I cracked open an Abita Golden as part of a good, solid pilsner beer that I could drink more than a couple of.  After ditching the bottlecap, I took a big whiff.  It smelled like a skunk’s dick.  As you might imagine, I got super-excited to give a taste.
 
I don’t want [...]
