Drinking It All: #31 Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout
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 had a birthday this past weekend and my good friends Ben and Selena got me a couple of four packs of fancy beer. Thanks, Ben and Selena. Also, they got me beers I haven't had before. So today I'm trying Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout. I think this is the first stout I've posted about (aside from the one I made), which is a shame because I like...
Books About Beer: Good Beer Guide Prague & The Czech Republic
I'm not sure there are many things that sound less interesting than a blog post about a travel book about beer, but, you know what, fuck it. A friend of mine, who's been living in the Czech Republic for a few years now, is in town and he let me borrow a beer guide to Czech beers. I've not been to the country yet, but I do love me a good book about beer, so I started reading it this morning. Since this book is a travel guide of a place I haven't been to and don't really have plans to...
Beer News: Calagione and Batali Open Brewpub in NYC
I recently (a day ago) found out that two people who I think are pretty damn kick-ass are opening a brewpub in New York City. While I don't live in NYC, it is possible for me (and you) to go there, so I am excited about the news. Sam Calagione, founder of Dogfish Head Brewery, and Mario Batali, who used to be on numerous Food Channel shows and is the owner of Otto (an awesome pizza place in NYC that you should definitely go to if you're in the city) among other restaurants, are part of a group of people about...
Drinking It All: #30 Brewery Ommegang’s Hennepin
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 just finished watching an episode of Drink Up (on the 'new' Cooking Channel that recently replaced the Fine Living Network), which was about beer, and since I wasn't doing anything else, I got out a beer to review. Lucky me and you. I decided on a Hennepin from Brewery Ommegang--a 'true Belgian-style saison.' I'm pretty sure I've made it evident that I'm no expert when it comes to...
Drinking It All: #29 Boulder Beer Co. Cold Hop
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. – It's been about a week and a half since I last posted because I've been somewhat busy making the bread that my wife and I sell at our community market. But now I'm cracking into some beers I've been saving up. Today I've got a beer called Cold Hop made by Boulder Beer Company. This beer looks like a joke. If I'm to be honest. The label reminds me...
