My brother got married this past weekend… At Stoudt’s!
That’s right, my big brother finally wrastled him a wife. And one of the best parts about the whole thing is that they both share a love of beer. So what better place to celebrate their wedding day than at a brewery?
So on Saturday, November 7th, Ray [...]

The remainder of our trip to Colorado wasn’t quite as jam-packed as our first day, so I’ll finish this little three-part series by summing up the rest.
On our second day, we visited Mount Falcon Canyon Park nearby where our friends live in Morrison.

After a nice, easy hike there, we visited One World Cafe, a cozy [...]

Now that I’ve gushed on and on about the fabulous time we had at GABF, it’s time to cover the rest of our trip out to Colorado!
Our first day was insanely busy… We landed in Denver around lunchtime, and of course we immediately wanted to go to a brewery. The first thing we did was [...]

This month’s Session topic (hosted by Beer By Bart) is “Will Travel for Beer.” Gail and Steve ask us to elaborate on either a beer trip we’ve taken, or one we’d like to take.

If you’ve never had any beers from Tröegs, get your hands on some HopBack, a boldly hoppy amber ale. Better yet, if it’s in season, you’ve got to try Nugget [...]

This month’s Session topic (hosted by Red, White, and Brew) is “Think/Drink Globally”:

Well, it just so happens that we traveled out to Colorado this past October for the Great American Beer Festival. We managed to [...]

I just got back from my trip to Orlando, Florida Thursday night. It was not a particularly exciting trip; I was there for work, and it rained the whole time anyway. But one thing did make the trip 100% worth it — I got to visit Orlando Brewing, Florida’s certified organic, Reinheitsgebot-following brewery.
I started out [...]

This month’s Session topic (hosted by Beer at Joe’s) is “Beyond the Black & Tan”:
What’s your favorite beer cocktail? Find a recipe for that or a new one, try it, and tell us why you did or didn’t like it–even if you think beer cocktails are nothing but a good way to waste a beer. [...]
