I’m taking it upon myself to review as many Octoberfests and Pumpkin Ales as I possibly can during the Pre-Halloween Season. All while listening to “Thriller”. Next up: Magic Hat's "Hex" After all these pumpkin ales, I needed a break. There's only so much cinnamon and pumpkin you can drink before you start sneezing holiday … Continue reading Spoooky Beer Review: Magic Hat’s “Hex”

Spoooky Beer Review: Shipyard Brewing Co.’s Smashed Pumpkin
I’m taking it upon myself to review as many Octoberfests and Pumpkin Ales as I possibly can during the Pre-Halloween Season. All while listening to “Thriller”. Next up: Shipyard Brewing Co.'s Smashed Pumpkin Remember yesterday when I was talking about beers that call themselves pumpkin ales, but don't really deliver in that department? This … Continue reading Spoooky Beer Review: Shipyard Brewing Co.’s Smashed Pumpkin
Spoooky Beer Review: Southern Tier Brewing Company’s “Imperial “Pumking”
I’m taking it upon myself to review as many Octoberfests and Pumpkin Ales as I possibly can during the Pre-Halloween Season. All while listening to “Thriller”. Next up: Southern Tier Brewing Company's Imperial Pumking The first thing you're going to notice with any pumpkin ale is that they tend to have an orange cast … Continue reading Spoooky Beer Review: Southern Tier Brewing Company’s “Imperial “Pumking”
Spoooky Beer Review: Wychwood Brewery “Hobgoblin”
Now, I know it's too soon to celebrate Halloween, no matter what the candy section at your local grocery store is telling you. But I am, truly, unable to contain myself. I struggled with the best way to let off some of my Halloween steam early and then the thought struck me: While most people … Continue reading Spoooky Beer Review: Wychwood Brewery “Hobgoblin”
Beer Review: Samuel Adams Harvest Pumpkin Ale
To prove to myself and to my readers that October is more than just about bad horror movies and costumes and demons, I'm going to bring back something that we haven't seen for a good long time: One of Dylan's Slightly Drunk Beer Reviews! It's been a while since I've done one of these, because … Continue reading Beer Review: Samuel Adams Harvest Pumpkin Ale
Beer Review: Saint of Circumstance
Emily and I walked passed our local alcohol shop when we saw that they were hosting a beer tasting. Since I don't turn down free alcohol (EVER), we went inside. The brewery was Berkshire Brewing Co., a local brewery that has a fairly wide selection to choose from (including one that tastes like coffee). I … Continue reading Beer Review: Saint of Circumstance
Beer Review: Dogfish Head Red & White
Beer recommended by Stan Stolowski I've decided I really like these aged beers. They have more complex flavors and those flavors are far more appealing. For example, I've had cherry flavored beers before and I've also had Sam Adam's American Kriek, which is a brew aged with Hungarian cherries and barrels and other things. Cherry … Continue reading Beer Review: Dogfish Head Red & White
Beer Review: Goose Island’s Bourbon County Stout
This beer scares me. I won't lie to you on that front. It's a beer that's been aged in a bourbon cask. It has a scary high alcohol content for a beer(13%) and its qualities out of the bottle are terrifying. I'm actually taking notes, because I'm worried I won't survive the tasting process. This … Continue reading Beer Review: Goose Island’s Bourbon County Stout
Beer Review: St. Victorious Doppelbock
After last week's success with the Troegenator Doublebock, I decided to try a different one, this one the St. Victorious by Victory. This one...not such a big fan. It's a good beer: very sturdy tasting, kind of bitter, but not overwhelmingly so. It's not leadheavy and while it tastes a little bit belgiany, it's not … Continue reading Beer Review: St. Victorious Doppelbock
Beer Review: Troegenator DoubleBock
I'm noticing a distinct trend here: almost all the beers I've chosen to review have been really dark. Generally speaking, that's because I prefer darker beers. I still don't know how to describe the flavor in Belgian beer (hoppy? yeasty? bad?), but I know I can safely avoid it if I get a beer too … Continue reading Beer Review: Troegenator DoubleBock
