Boulder Beer Co’s Obovoid Empirical Stout

Had my dad and my friend Louis over the other night, and we did some impromptu beer tasting. To be honest, I debated whether or not to post this video, because it’s a bit long, and I was more than a bit buzzed, but decided what the hell. I’ll take my criticism like a man. [...]

Goose Island Oatmeal Stout

Happy Thanksgiving, by the way. I just got done doing dishes (and what a chore that was!) so I decided I needed a beer. Continuing on with my current Goose Island kick, we’re on to something a bit more mild compared to the Bourbon County Stout I last reviewed. However, don’t confuse mild with boring. [...]

Goose Island’s 2009 Bourbon County Stout

First of all, this guy is about as dark as beers can get. And before I get called out, yes, it is in a Goose Island Matilda Glass. The goblet is an appropriate style for this particular beer, so there’s no need to complain . For the record, Goose Island recommends this beer be served [...]

Think about the last time you’ve had a dark wheat, a dunkelweizen, a light belgian dubbel, or something of the sort. Was it good? Probably didn’t live up to your expectations, did it? There are a [...]

A Rundown of the Parkville Microbrew Fest

So it has been a week now. I promised you a post on the Parkville Microbrew Fest, and here it is, albeit a bit late. Turnout was excellent – there were twenty four microbreweries in attendance, several of which I had not yet experienced. Crowd was great – people were quite friendly. Nice to have [...]

Chocolate Imperial Stout

This particular beer review is a bit different. It is different in the sense that none of you will actually be able to buy it. “What’s the point, then?” you ask. Well, I wanted to swing things a little differently today and talk about homebrew beers as a whole. Don’t really know anything about it? [...]

We’re excited to turn our love for beer into useful information for you when you make your next trip to the liquor store. We’ve created a simple rating [...]
