PremiumBitter: Avery Redpoint Ale
http://premiumbitter.blogspot.com/2008/11/avery-redpoint-ale.html
Thursday, November 6, 2008. Of Boulder, Colorado. Some beer lovers enjoy a rich, malty brew, while others go more for hoppy. Likes both - as evidenced by this rich and caramelly. Amber ale with the distinct flavor and bouquet of Cascade hops. Reaching the perfect balance of crystal malt sweetness and hop bitterness took plenty of time and effort, making Redpoint. The perfect beer for toasting your most recent success. Up front balanced by citrusy. Relatively malty body gives way to a medium-dry hoppy.

PremiumBitter: July 2008
http://premiumbitter.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 25, 2008. An update from your humble Beer Geek. Spokane Falls from the Monroe St. bridge downtown. I have recently (days ago) moved to Spokane, Washington(don't worry, I stopped at plenty breweries along the way) in pursuit of better career(and beer) opportunities. I've already seen a wealth of beer I could never get in the Sooner State. There are a couple of local breweries and the solid " Laughing Dog. I will miss my friends and acquaintances back in Oklahoma, you folks are exceptional!

PremiumBitter: Amber Waves of Grain
http://premiumbitter.blogspot.com/2007/10/grain-fall.html
Thursday, October 25, 2007. Amber Waves of Grain. Everyone knows what water is, but what about malt? Malted grains make up the bulk of a beer recipe. Malted barley is the most common, followed by malted wheat. Other cereals such as oats, rye, corn, and rice are sometimes used as well. How does a beer feel in your mouth? Simply put: the more grain the more potential alcohol a beer can have. A beer made with twice the amount of grain can theoretically yield twice the quantity of alcohol. Dye can be used to...

PremiumBitter: Double Bastard
http://premiumbitter.blogspot.com/2009/06/double-bastard.html
Sunday, June 7, 2009. Of Escondido, California. American Strong Ale (doesn't quite have a specific category per se). This is a lacerative muther of a beer. The evil big brother of Arrogant Bastard Ale. It is strongly suggested you stay far, far away from this beer. Those foolish enough to venture close enough to taste will experience a punishingly unforgiving assault on the palate. ’Course there’s always the masochists. Dark, dried fruits. I get plums, dates, and some alcohol. June 10, 2009 at 9:19 AM.
