Sam Adams REALLY loves aromas.

July 28th, 2009

We’re a little late on this one, but if you haven’t seen it already, Sam Adams has released a glass last year to help release all of the aromas in their beer. Apparently there is a wealth of untapped aroma that most of us have never experienced inside of this beer. At least that’s what [...]

I’m Blue Da Ba Dee Da Ba Die

July 21st, 2009

We’re having a hard time understanding this video because of all the constant cuts, or perhaps it’s because its in Japanese. Either way, we want some of this blue beer now. We’ll also take one of the red and green ones they produce. Abashiri is a brewery out of Japan and they make lots [...]

The best mail we ever received.

June 23rd, 2009

It might be because we received this beer for free that we thought it was delicious but Deschutes Brewery’s Twilight Ale left us salivating for more. In fact, as gross as it sounds, we salivated so much that it filled our empty bottle back up and we were fooled into thinking it was a brand [...]

Mmm, Budweiser. Our Favorite Czech Import.

April 2nd, 2009

That’s the bottom line, ’cause Rough Draft said so!

April 1st, 2009

As we explain on the “about us” page, we enjoy drinking beer for almost any reason. We’ve live-blogged the election, the Super Bowl and St. Pat’s. Sure, we’ve made dumb jokes and come off a little more sophomoric than we’d care to, but it’s all in the interest of fun. In the future we’ll make [...]

Horse Piss Beer

March 26th, 2009

Here is another one from the “yes that really exists” category. Sometimes referred to as HPB (not to be confused with HPV), Horse Piss Beer is produced in Kentucky supposedly by Bluegrass Brewing according to the Barley Blog. Although it is mentioned nowhere on their website. But we haven’t had the chance to try one [...]
