Mug Beer Reviews
No beer glass delivers quantity like the mug or beer stein. It can accommodate a wide range of styles and is designed for volume and ease of use. If you’re going the distance—or need something to defend yourself—look no further than the beer mug.

I have to confess. I’m a hop junky. Ever since I got hooked on the little, lupulin filled green cones it’s like I can’t get enough. In fact it’s hard for me to genuinely remember what I was thinking the first time I tasted an IPA and thought, “Man this is bitter.”...

Aging this beer for over a year I would put forth the argument that one should not do so for more than six months. Oh sure, it is aged in Bourbon barrels, but after all the abv is not “imperial” strength. If I had aged this any longer I could see it...
