Beer reviews and blog posts by Team
by Team | American Brown Ale, Delaware, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, Mug, Pint Glass, United States |
Taylor: In my newfound enjoyment of beer (really, I got into this in December 2009) I have experienced a handful of beer epiphanies. Well, maybe just 2 or 3. The first was in a bomber of Three Floyds Dreadnaught IPA (thought Alpha King prepared me for that one). The...

by Team | Dortmunder / Export Lager, Flute Glass, Pilsner Glass, Spoetzl Brewery, Texas, United States |
Shiner Fröst is a seasonal, Dortmunder style beer from Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, Texas. With “the malt profile of a Helles and the hop character of a Pils,” this Dortmunder uses Two-Row malted barley, malted wheat, and Munich malts, along with Hallertau...
by Team | American Pale Ale (APA), Georgia, Mug, Pint Glass, SweetWater Brewing Company, United States |
John: This brew was first made in 1997 as the flagship beer of Sweetwater Brewing Company. It happened to be born on 4/20 hence the name. Use this triva to impress your friends. You will also impress them by sending them to one great...
by Team | American / Robust Porter, Big Sky Brewing Company, Montana, Mug, Pint Glass, United States |
Bobo’s Robust Porter is a limited release American Porter brewed by Big Sky Brewing Company in Missoula, Montana. ABV stands at 6.2%. The following is our team review of this beer: Michael: It pours a deep, dark, earthy brown with faintly purplish edges. The...
by Team | Oregon, Pale Lager, Pilsner Glass, Rogue Ales, United States |
At last, Kells Irish Lager has finally been located! We all have traditions and this review revolves around an ageless classic. About a year and a half ago, my fellow reviewer Noel and I started our quest to sample every beer that Rogue produces. We would take turns...
by Team | Beer Reviews, California, North Coast Brewing Company, Pint Glass, Russian Imperial Stout, Snifter, United States |
Nate: My goal is to drink this beer slowly. I personally tend to enjoy stouts at a warmer temperature. However, for some reason Guinness may be an exception. I enjoy the warming quality of Russian imperial stouts. I believe that the warming quality comes from the...
by Team | Bock, Flute Glass, Mug, New Glarus Brewing Company, Pilsner Glass, Stange, United States, Wisconsin |
Cabin Fever Honey Bock is a pale bock beer brewed seasonally by New Glarus Brewing Company in Wisconsin, USA. Style-wise, it’s toted as a “Pale Wisconsin Honey Bock” and according to New Glarus, is “brewed with an exclusive blend of Wisconsin...
by Team | Bavik Brewery, Belgium, Mug, Pilsner Glass, Pint Glass, Witbier |
Wittekerke is a Belgian witbier brewed by Brouwerij Bavik (Bavik Brewery). “Wittekerke” is derived from the Flemish “witte” and “kerke,” meaning “white church.” Wittekerke’s local claim to fame is its ties to a...
by Team | Flute Glass, Genesee Brewing Company, Maibock / Helles Bock, Mug, New York, Pilsner Glass, United States |
Noel: Every now and then, you experience one of the greatest rewards life has to offer: finding something extra special, extra cheap. I suppose that was my thinking when I grabbed a Dundee Craft Pack a little while back. At $7.99 for a 12 bottle/6 style box, and with...
by Team | Dry Stout, Guinness Ltd., Ireland, Mug, Pint Glass |
Noel: To be honest, I’m not sure how many average joes out there know that this beer even exists. Guinness Draught, not Extra Stout, has become synonymous with the Guinness brand, and it’s not all that surprising considering its availability in just about every pub...
by Team | Belgian Pale Ale, California, North Coast Brewing Company, Snifter, Tulip, United States, Wine Glass |
I’m going to go ahead a gloat for just a moment, if that’s permissible, because there are certain days in life that just can’t be allowed to seep into the vacuum of the unmemorable, attenuate into the mash of the unexceptional if you will (a Timmy...
by Team | Adjunct Lager, Cerveceria Nacional Dominicana, Dominican Republic, Pilsner Glass, Pint Glass |
Britton: I recently spent the week with the President in the Dominican Republic. If you’ve been to the Dominican Republic, odds are you’ve spent some time with the President as well if you drink beer. Presidente is the beer of the Dominican Republic. In fact it is...
by Team | Germany, Privatbrauerei Michael Plank, Weizen / Weissbier / Hefeweizen, Weizen Glass |
Everyone loves a winner, myself included. I decided to try Plank because it was marked as a customer’s choice at a local store and it advertised itself as a World Beer Cup medal winner. I figured if the people and the judges agreed, it was worth trying. In the...
by Team | Erdinger Weissbräu, Germany, Weizen / Weissbier / Hefeweizen, Weizen Glass |
After my glass of Erdinger, I couldn’t quite recall why I choose to taste this brew in the first place. The bottle’s label is as plain as the taste, and I’ve never seen the beer advertised or featured. As it happens, a Binny’s employee...
by Team | American IPA, California, Mug, Pint Glass, Russian River Brewing Company, United States |
Nate: I also had a somewhat slow few days at work this past weekend (see Tom’s post on John John Ale). It left me a few free moments to catch up on the latest brewery news. Somehow I ended up on Yelp and came across a liquor store in San Diego that had a lot of...
by Team | Anheuser Busch Brewery, Light Lager, Missouri, Pilsner Glass, United States |
I enjoyed this brew at 6 am. That’s right, I work in a hospital which requires some odd shifts. Today, my 6am is your 6pm and I’m thirsty… I don’t know what it is, but Minnesotans are obsessed with Michelob Golden Light/Ultra. Minnesota summers...
by Team | New York, Pint Glass, Russian Imperial Stout, Snifter, Southern Tier Brewing Company, United States |
John: Southern Tier Imperial Choklat Stout! Talk about chocolate. Wow! Talk about stout. Wow. The byline for this brew is “The ancients called it ‘food for the gods’. I’m thinking this stuff has got to be in heaven! This is the darkest beer...
by Team | American / Robust Porter, Goose Island Beer Company, Illinois, Mug, Pint Glass, United States |
Enjoyed this brew with my wife and father-in-law as we put together plans to finish our basement. Though I could use some libations to help influence some of the design promise. See, beer is good for all situations…ok, all the time. Paired this brew with some...
by Team | American Brown Ale, Delaware, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, Mug, Pint Glass, United States, Wood-Aged Beers |
Taylor: Before a couple of months ago, I was not drinking beer that much. It didn’t have the appeal it used to, like when I was swinging a hammer for a construction company up in the North Shore. Back then, nothing sounded better than an ice cold Grolsch after a...
by Team | Goose Island Beer Company, Illinois, Mug, Oatmeal Stout, Pint Glass, United States |
The bottle claims Stockyard Brewing Co. to be its home; however, Goose Island Brewing Co actually brews this beauty. Goose Island specifically brews this one for Trader Joe’s, so if you have a Joe’s in your neighborhood, you have to grab some of this stuff. Excuse me,...
by Team | Belgium, Chimay (Trappist), Goblet, Snifter, Tripel |
Michael: To complete the Chimay trifecta, only the Tripel (or Chimay White) remained. It had its work cut out for it, as my sampling came immediately after its redder brother, Chimay Premiere, the only A+ beer I’ve reviewed to date. While the White is a tripel by...
by Team | Belgium, Chimay (Trappist), Dubbel, Goblet |
Michael: Sometimes these reviews keep you guessing. You’re not sure what its going to be, an ultra complex A, or perhaps a middle-of-the-road B. Maybe the beer took a turn for the worst, with the funkiest finish of all time and it plunged to a D. With this review,...
by Team | American Wheat Ale, Gray's Brewing Company, Mug, Pint Glass, United States, Weizen Glass, Wisconsin |
The Gray’s brewery has been in existence since the late 1800’s and is known to be one of the oldest family owned breweries in the U.S today. Gray’s has an incredible Brew pub named “Gray’s Tied House” and happens to be a bonfire...
by Team | Minnesota, Pint Glass, Scotch Ale / Wee Heavy, Snifter, Summit Brewing Company, Tulip, United States |
Tom: One weekend in the Summer I purchased at sample pack of Summit beers which included their Pils, Belgian Wit, Hefe, and Pale. This was my first experience with this brewery and I was not left wanting. The beers were solid and close to style. I had their Horizon...
