This giant beer has a gnome on it. Your argument is invalid.

Time to celebrate.

This is Traquair Jacobite, a Scottish ale flavored with coriander. It almost has a brown ale flavor with the richness of an Aventinus. Pretty rare. If you can find one in your local beer & wine store I highly recommend checking it out.

Home sweet home.

Subtle and crisp with an aftertaste of green apples. I was worried that the bottle design was going to be better than the beer, but thankfully, I was wrong.

Seriously though. That bottle is rad.

Cats agree: Lagunitas IPA is cold and its bottle smells questionable.

Happy Friday.

Yup. It’s PBR. In a can. Nope. It’s not even 5 o’ clock.

It’s been a long week.

Testing out a new feature.

Any excuse for a beer, right?

Stoudts Scarlet Lady Ale

The first beer review of the summer! All around mild E.S.B. with a good flavor. A little pricey, but great for folks who aren’t super-into beer and are ready to move away from American swill (read Bud Light).

7 out of 10 (recommended).

This is happening right now. Between Brian, Emily and I, we’re going to try to empty the bottles tonight.

If you make beer and you don’t put a gargoyle on the label, you’re doing it wrong.

From the bottle:

What you have here is the holy grail for hopheads. This beer is continually hopped over a 120 minute boil and then dry-hopped every day for a month. Enjoy now or age for a decade or so.
