Beer Review: Bay State Brewing Co’s Becky Likes the Smell

Hello, I can't stay away from IPAs. There was a time when I did not like IPAs at all, but, because I'm stubborn, I kept drinking them, over and over again. Now I kind of like them. I really don't know how I feel about the name of this one: Becky Likes the Smell. I … Continue reading Beer Review: Bay State Brewing Co’s Becky Likes the Smell →

Beer Review: Collective Arts’ Life in the Clouds

Hello, I decided to take another crack at a Collective Arts Brewing IPA tonight because I enjoyed last night's so much. The initial smell is definitely not as intense as it was last night, but this is not a Double IPA. I will say that IPAs are a devil of a thing to review because … Continue reading Beer Review: Collective Arts’ Life in the Clouds →

Beer Review: Wormtown Brewery’s Sweet Tats

Hello Again, So I have a weird relationship with porters and stouts. A lot of the time, I'll try, say, one of the many variations of Guinness and it's...empty. There's some flavor at the front and some bitterness at the back and there's just nothing holding up in the middle. But! With Imperial Stouts, there … Continue reading Beer Review: Wormtown Brewery’s Sweet Tats →

Spoooky Beer Review: Harpoon’s UFO Pumpkin

Harpoon makes some of my favorite beers, from their UFO White to Leviathon, you're generally going to get a solid, complex beer with a lot to offer. So I had high hopes when I picked up UFO Pumpkin. And those hopes were resoundingly rewarded. This if the kind of pumpkin ale that I want to … Continue reading Spoooky Beer Review: Harpoon’s UFO Pumpkin →

Spoooky Beer Review: Shipyard Brewing Co.’s Pumpkinhead

 I’m taking it upon myself to review as many Octoberfests and Pumpkin Ales as I possibly can during the Halloween Season. All while listening to “Thriller”. In spite of the fact that I have now reviewed it twice on my blog, I am really not a huge fan of Shipyard's Smashed Pumpkin. There is a … Continue reading Spoooky Beer Review: Shipyard Brewing Co.’s Pumpkinhead →

Halloween Monday Movie Marathon and Beer: Hillside Cannibals and Dogfish Head Punkin Ale

I am disappointed to end this day on a low note, but that's how it is. I am not a huge fan of Dogfish Head, but I decided I'd give them one more shot, in the spirit of the season. The problem isn't so much with the brewery as it is with brown ales. I … Continue reading Halloween Monday Movie Marathon and Beer: Hillside Cannibals and Dogfish Head Punkin Ale →

Halloween Monday Movie Marathon and Beer: Cryptic Plasm and Imperial Pumking

First, let's talk about the Imperial Pumking, before we jump into the movie. Pumking is one of my favorite pumpkin ales, a fact I forgot before I opened the bottle. I has a strong pumpkin flavors and does not rely so heavily on cinnamon flavoring as other pumpkin ales do. In fact, I would be … Continue reading Halloween Monday Movie Marathon and Beer: Cryptic Plasm and Imperial Pumking →

Beer Review: Samuel Adams Fat Jack

It's been a long while since I've done a beer review and, in all honesty, it's probably been a long while since I've actually spent any time thinking about the stuff I'm pouring into my stomach. It's time to slow down and think about what I'm drinking. And we're going to start off with something season … Continue reading Beer Review: Samuel Adams Fat Jack →

Beer Review: Samuel Adams Third Voyage

  For a long time, I had a love/hate relationship with IPAs. They were too bitter, too strong tasting, too hoppy. Now I feel like I could go the rest of my life never drinking anything else. So when I saw a new Sam Adams Double IPA, (Third Voyage) I ran and grabbed my specially … Continue reading Beer Review: Samuel Adams Third Voyage →
