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 [...]
Now in Portland: Upright Brewing Company ‘Five’ (#5)
First of all, BeerGenius is now in Portland – to stay. After a grand total of one day in this marvelous city, it’s difficult for me to really describe how excited I am for the food and beer scene here (aaaand the occasional winery weekends). The people are marvelous, the vibe is celebration of individualism, the [...]
Craft Beer Week, Mid-Week Update & Vanilla Porter
So what have you done this week to celebrate American Craft Beer Week? It’s easy to participate – simply grab a craft brew, pop it open, and get to work. Ideally, find a brew that is brewed close to your home. Supporting your local brewery, as has been done for thousands of years, is part [...]
Red Hook ESB & SmashBurger in Lawrence
So my buddy just opened up a restaurant. It’s a newer chain called SmashBurger out of Denver, Colorado – apparently they make a pretty damn good burger. So I had to go find out. SmashBurger corporate has done a pretty good job at localizing their product to the region in which the restaurant exists. For [...]
Celebrate American Craft Beer Week
As you know, our mission here at BeerGenius is to grow the culture of Craft Beer. Sounds like a…cult, perhaps? Maybe, but it’s a fun one, and you should join. Well, there so happens to be an entire week dedicated to celebrating Craft Beer. It’s getting so important that there’s actually a resolution floating around [...]
Monk’s Cafe Flemish Sour Ale, Parkville Microbrew Fest Afterparty @ d•luxe
