Drinking It All: #22 Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale
Drinking It All is a document of my attempt to try every beer in circulation. It's a Herculean and tragic attempt at best. But it's the means, not the end that counts here. -- Today I've got another Dogfish Head beer to write about--an Indian Brown Ale. This beer somewhat resembles another famous brown ale: Newcastle, but it's hoppier and has 7.2% ABV. So it's a bigger beer all around. (I realized after I opened the beer up that my last post was a Dogfish Head as well, and I aim to spread beers from the same brewery out more. But it's already...
Beer Tasting Ups and Downs
A few nights ago, I went to a beer tasting here in town. The tasting was kind of sponsored by the local Anheuser-Busch distributor, and George Reisch, who is a brewmaster and director of brewmaster outreach for A-B, was the speaker/guide for the tasting. I expected, going in, to taste a few beers made by A-B and maybe hear a little about how they're made. However, the tasting was much more interesting. Not only did we get to taste some A-B beers (i.e., Budweiser, Bud Light, Shock Top), but we got to taste them next to their competition (i.e., Miller Lite,...
Drinking It All: #21 Dogfish Head Aprihop
Drinking It All is a document of my attempt to try every beer in circulation. It's a Herculean and tragic attempt at best. But it's the means, not the end that counts here. -- Today I've got a beer from Dogfish Head Brewery. Dogfish Head is arguably one of the most interesting American craft breweries, and from the beers I've tried, it's easily one of the best. All of their beers I've had would make very short lists. So my friend knows that I really like the Dogfish Head beers, and he brought some over when he came to visit this past...
Drinking It All: #20 Red Brick Peachtree Pale Ale
Drinking It All is a document of my attempt to try every beer in circulation. It's a Herculean and tragic attempt at best. But it's the means, not the end that counts here. -- I've been in the yard again today. But now I'm done and I've got some beer to be drinking. I picked up another of Atlanta Brewing Co.'s beers the other day, and I'll go ahead and say that I'm more a fan of this one than the last one I reviewed--the Blonde Ale. Of course, this is probably obvious because it's a pale ale. (If you haven't read...
Things to Do With Beer: Yard Work and Danger-Genius Ramps
Today was a good day. Let me tell you about it. I spent pretty much all day outside working in the yard. This included: tilling up an insanely big garden area and a smaller (when compared with the first area) garden area; having an OK lunch with an excellent, big PBR; and weedeating, pushmowing, and ride-mowing (just made up a word--call Houghton Mifflin) the yard. But this doesn't sound like fun, does it? If you're thinking "no, it does not, dude" sorry, but you are incorrect. Add cold-ass Miller Lite to all of the yard mowing and the fun materializes like a...
