SkullSplitter Orkney Ale

Posted on February 29, 2008 by simonpo

Holy cow, the name’s no mistake – with one of my Viking forbears on the label and packing an 8.5%ABV punch this dark-brown ale is not for the fainthearted. It is, apparently, named after Thorfinn Hausakluif, the 7th Viking Earl … Continue reading →

Brewery Ommegang Hennepin Farmhouse Saison

Posted on February 29, 2008 by dugpark

Started tonight with a couple of margaritas after a long week of work… the perfect compliment to the beer-with-dinner we experienced last night: Since I didn’t really feel like chasing margaritas with ordinary beer, I stopped at PCC on the … Continue reading →

Pilsner Urquell

Posted on February 28, 2008 by dugpark

Last beer of the night… don’t worry, this was over a 4 hour period, so I was fine when we were done… at least according to Intoximeters Incorporated and their Drink Wheel.  Actually a pretty darn cool site if you … Continue reading →

BridgePort Blue Heron Pale Ale

Posted on February 28, 2008 by dugpark

It has been a long week.  We have been working 12 hour days in an effort to address some business that needs to be taken care of and there just hasn’t been a lot of down time.  I basically work, … Continue reading →

Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock

Posted on February 28, 2008 by simonpo

Another day older, another day wiser, and hurray! Another bottle of doppelbock to knock back. Like this one – dark chocolate liquid swirls nicely into the glass, producing a hefty but short-lived malty head and a comfortingly sweet aroma that … Continue reading →

Duvel

Posted on February 27, 2008 by simonpo

Ah, those crazy, clever Belgians – masters of chocolate, comics and world-famous beer, I’ve been an admirer of their renowned cultural heritage for years. Funnily enough, probably for about as long as I’ve been a fan of Duvel, a brew I haven’t managed … Continue reading →

Weihenstephaner Vitus

Posted on February 26, 2008 by dugpark

Weihenstephaner Vitus is supposedly from the world’s oldest brewery and I have to say that I believe them… I did a quick search and about the only other old brewery I could find was Weltenburger… they show 10 years later, though, … Continue reading →

Young’s Double Chocolate Stout

Posted on February 25, 2008 by dugpark

Young’s Double Chocolate Stout (from Wells and Young’s Brewing Company in the UK) is a copycat and I don’t like it… ok… so it isn’t that big of a deal.  But really, they may call it “chocolate stout” but it tastes … Continue reading →
