Lupulin Junkie: September 2010
http://lupulinjunkie.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
A Hops overdosed, bleary-eyed gaze at the world of beer. Thursday, September 30, 2010. Sierra Nevada Tumbler - Seasonal Brown Ale From Our Friends in Chico. I knew nothing of styles. I didn't know how a certain beer was supposed to taste. What to expect when I drank it. Was it strong? Or a session beer? Was it supposed to finish dry? Why were Heineken and other green bottled beers skunky? The aroma was very, very, very enjoyable. Slightly sweet smelling, a bit of a hint of nut in there as well, and o...

Lupulin Junkie: The Pabst Blue Ribbon Renaissance
http://lupulinjunkie.blogspot.com/2010/09/pabst-blue-ribbon-renaissance.html
A Hops overdosed, bleary-eyed gaze at the world of beer. Friday, September 24, 2010. The Pabst Blue Ribbon Renaissance. New owners hope to cash in on Pabst's cachet. Big plans for beer that has evolved into an unlikely hipster favorite. 2 hours 37 minutes ago. Evan had been thinking about Red White and Blue beer, one of the company's roughly two dozen defunct brands, which they hope to revive. "What if we made that the military beer? We'll bring, you know, the Rotary Club, the veterans.". To support our ...

Sud Savant: September 2013
http://sudsavant.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Drink it like beer. Taste it like wine. Wednesday, September 11, 2013. Stone - Enjoy By 9.13.13. The deterioration has implications in aging, but also on the shelves. How do you know if your IPA or other hop dependent beers are fresh? How do you know you're getting the best tasting, least decayed, brewer-intended flavors? When first poured, the beer is capped with a peach pastel colored head that slowly fades to ivory shades as the beer trapped within is drawn to its brothers below. That beer pours a...

TROY'S TAP HANDLE: December 2009
http://troystaphandle.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 7, 2009. A Quadrupel by Boulevard Brewing Company. I must first state that I am in love again. It is a new love after the loss of an old one, but love nonetheless. This summer, I discovered that my favorite beer, Thomas Hardy's Ale. Had been retired by its brewer. It was too costly to create, and became increasingly so in our current global economy. I have a couple of bottles cellared, but after they are gone I will only have memories of a great beer. Or so I thought. Make no mistake: th...

Sud Savant: June 2013
http://sudsavant.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Drink it like beer. Taste it like wine. Tuesday, June 18, 2013. Deschutes - Hop Henge Experimental IPA. It's a veritable monument to hops, right? Bottle gives no brewed date, but reads "Best by 08/27/13". A rich honey note steps in to dance with the hops, which remain strong, and the piney resin begins to kick things up a notch. What a great sight! The amounts of flavor in this beer are certainly to be reckoned with. I also appreciate the body and the fact that the beer somehow maintains a perfect le...

Sud Savant: Events
http://sudsavant.blogspot.com/p/events.html
Drink it like beer. Taste it like wine. Thursday, September 15, 2011. Screw City Beer Festival 2011. This is the second of three festivals that I will have attended in under a month. Needless to say, my wife is a very patient person. There was a lot going on with this festival and I’ll just start right from the beginning. Image blatantly stolen from their website. A higher quality ticket. Nice touch. Bathrooms were 5 porta potties, with one hand sanitizing station located at only one end of the fenced in...

Sud Savant: Russian River - Pliny the Elder
http://sudsavant.blogspot.com/2015/01/russian-river-pliny-elder.html
Drink it like beer. Taste it like wine. Saturday, January 3, 2015. Russian River - Pliny the Elder. Can all the searches and all the trades that happen around the country be worth it? I'd be lying if I said my heart didn't feel the suspense a little bit. Time to go whaling. Let's pour! Crappy picture measuring EBC. Do I have to stop smelling it? The whale stands alone. I just didn't get as excited about it as I do some other beers. It's an outstanding beer, no question. I just didn't fall in love. Note: ...
