Nano Brewfest – the report
So while the rest of Portland was at Hopworks Urban Brewery’s Biketoberfest event, I spent some time at Nano Fest at Green Dragon Brewpub in Oregon. It’s still going on today until approximately 9pm, and it’s definitely worth checking out. Green Dragon is a new venture affiliated with Rogue, and they JUST began brewing their [...]
Dang. It has been awhile.
So I started this new job in Portland that has been sucking up all of my time. No worries, though, because I have some fantastic news for you all. I’ve been invited to write for Examiner.com as the Northwest District craft beer examiner. Just a few of the breweries that exist up in this little [...]
Oregon Beer Festival – the tastings
So as you know, I tried to live blog the media event at Oregon Brewers Festival yesterday, and it didn’t work out very well. So I shot some 20 second reviews with my other camera, and just put them together. See below: My favorites of the tasting were Terminal Gravity’s Single Hop Double IPA, Boulevard’s [...]
Oregon Brewers Festival Live Coverage
And I’m trying something new – uploading directly from my phone without any editing to see if we can get some more immediate coverage on the beer festival. Listed chronologically from oldest to newest: Alright, so I had some serious connectivity problems with my phone while at the festival. Just now getting videos up – [...]
Negra Modelo – a Killer Vienna Lager
So my dad and I were out about a month and a half ago, paroozing around Lawrence. We ended up at a new(ish) mexican place – Esquina – on the corner of 8th and Mass street. Negra Modelo, my favorite Mexican beer, was in order. Interesting thing about this particular dark Mexican beer is that [...]
One Last Free State Review – Bumper Crop Saison
So I went to Free State Brewing Company (http://freestatebrewing.com/) one last time before I left Lawrence, as it is one of my favorite breweries in the whole world. Happened to have my video camera with me, and I shot a review while at the bar. Bumper Crop Saison is one of their seasonals that comes [...]
Lindemans Framboise. Non-Beer people, check it
I had the opportunity to pull my lovely mother, Nancy Huckaba, in on a beer review. People say to me, “Jameson, this website of yours is really cool, but I don’t drink beer. I don’t like beer.” Hmm. To which my answer is always ‘yes, you do. I can guarantee that I can find you [...]
Boulevard Amber Ale
Boulevard’s Amber Ale. Seems as if most larger microbreweries around the country have an amber of some sort – it’s a bit of a requisite style. Every bit as much as a Pale Ale or some sort of American Wheat. So Boulevard Brewery in my hometown of Kansas City decided to produce one. We’ve reviewed [...]
North American Organic Brewers Festival
One of the completely kickass things about being a beer lover in Oregon are all the festivals that are constantly going on. Being brand new to the area, I JUST came across the North American Organic Brewers Festival going on just outside of downtown Portland. So I’m hitting that in about 30 minutes, and will [...]
Home is where the beer is…
I suppose I should clear up some misunderstandings around the office. It is true, I did get engaged. Sorry, Ladies (and Lads) but this Beergenius is off the market. But moreover, my best friend and fellow Beergenius, Jameson moved to Portland, Oregon this past week. We may have split up geographically, but this website maintains [...]
