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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Undoubtedly many of you are on facebook. We are. Our top five favorite beers were pretty obscure and pretentious. That’s just how we roll. It’s not that we only drink the fancy stuff (just look at our MMCD posts), it’s just that our favorites happen to be on a higher shelf than our [...]

Classy beers get classy pictures… and vice versa.
Beer enthusiasm often has humble beginnings. Many of us start our lives in beer prior to the celebrations of our twenty-first birthdays. It is not uncommon to get a running start to the legal starting line beginning in our late teens, hitting twenty one with a full tolerance [...]

Don't be fooled by the Ommegang glass we just don't have New Holland glassware (hint hint New Holland)
Rough Draft regular and good friend Stalemem recently threw a write up on Dragon’s Milk our way. With a subject line reading “Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society”, it was sure to grab our attention. Now, [...]

For many people the gateway drug into serious Belgian beer addiction is Delirium. We propose that its wide distribution and flashy packaging are to blame for its ability to lure in unsuspecting domestic drinkers. Once the taste of this beautiful beer reaches the taste buds of the uninitiated there is a 45% conversion rate from [...]

As we’ve mentioned already, this year marks the 250th anniversary of Arthur Guinness’ signing of the lease for St. James Gate brewery. In order to celebrate the occasion, the folks who brew the black stuff are releasing a special anniversary stout. The brew was released last Friday in the U.S. and will follow soon in Australia [...]

When we spotted the top 50 craft brewing companies list over at Beer Advocate last week we decided to use it as a measure of our progress. Rough Draft was born back in October of ‘08 and we’ve tried a lot of new beers and learned a lot in that time. So treating our six month [...]
