From the good folks at Brooklyn Brewery comes this fun news…
Two of the nation’s leading craft brewers are betting that their hometown team will win the National Football Conference game this Sunday.
John Dannerbeck, president of Anchor Brewing Co. of San Francisco, and Steve Hindy, president of Brooklyn Brewery in New York, said Thursday they will pour the other brewery’s beer and outfit their brewery tour staff in jerseys from the opposing team for a week if their team loses the title game in San Francisco on Sunday.
The brewery chiefs will wear the jerseys of shame as well.
“We are very confident that the 49ers will come through for us and we will not have to suffer this humiliation,” said Dannerbeck. “We beat the Giants earlier this year, and I am sure we will do it again.”
“The Giants have come together in an impressive way since the post-season commenced,” said Hindy. “We think Eli Manning and his team are going to avenge that earlier loss and move on to the Super Bowl.”

Good morning, fellow beer lovers! It has been ages since I posted anything here, and for that, I apologize. As some of you may know from previous posts, I was going to school for civil/environmental engineering the whole time I’ve had this blog, and graduated December 2010. Well, in August, I started my first engineering [...]
I first encountered Brooklyn Brewery in Panama City Beach, thanks to Chan’s Wine World, but that was in a collaborative effort with Franziskaner. It wasn’t until later, back here in Tennessee, that I experienced Brooklyn’s brews on their own, and I am a fan thus far. I was hoping they would someday send me samples [...]

Molson Coors has announced the launch of a new beer aimed to attract female taste buds. They hope to change perceptions among women who believe that all beers are the same. The new brand, called Animée (which is a lager), hopes to “make beer a real choice” for women. Molson Coors already make some great [...]
Now I love beer, obviously, but I love coffee as well. This is probably why I so greatly enjoy stouts and porters. So when a coffee stout comes along, I am doubly excited! I came home one day to an unexpected package, always a great day, and it was Flying Dog‘s Coffee Stout (Batch 2). [...]
This beer, JW Lee’s Harvest Ale 2007, a fully fermented old ale, was provided to me by Aleksey’s Imports for reviewing purposes. I’ve already previously reviewed a version of this that had been aged in Lagavulin Whisky casks. I’ve seen this called a barleywine on some websites, but I think it’s more appropriately referred to [...]
Flying Dog was the first brewery to send me samples for reviewing purposes, back when I never imagined anyone doing that. They sent me their Raging Bitch Belgian-style IPA some time ago and I did tasting notes and thought I had posted the review, but it appears I never got it posted. So I am [...]
I know, it’s been a while since my last review. I’ve been so busy working and trying to find a civil engineering job in the Nashville area that I’ve neglected my poor blog. This beer review (J.W. Lee’s Harvest Ale aged in Lagavulin Casks) comes courtesy of Aleksey’s Imports, who have provided me beer for quite [...]

1,248 beers…a year’s supply of beer, one case a week for 52 weeks. If you’d like to win that much beer, and you have a wild and crazy streak and a great imagination, you could be the one to walk away with the big prize! Black Star Beer is holding a beer barter contest. The [...]
After my recent trip to Greece, I became friends with George Iordanides, of Beer-pedia.com. He let me know some time ago that he was working on coming out with a beer, and I can now share the details with you. I saw a lot of different varieties and brands of beer in Greece, but I [...]
Today’s beer review is another brought to you by Aleksey’s Imports. I knew going into this that it was a smoke beer, but tried it anyway. The only other smoke beer I’ve really had was Rogue’s Smoke Ale, and I hated it. I’m talking drain-pouringly awful. I thought it was like drinking smoked pork…bacon [...]
