My first full beer from this new brewery finds me sipping on an interesting concoction.  This dark ale is brewed with ancho chilies (dried poblano) and made in the Oaxacam-style (a region in the Southern Pacific side of Mexico).  While I’m not completely sure...

Port Brewing Shark Attack Double Red Ale

Port Brewing Company is located in San Marcos, California, and is also known by its other name, The Lost Abbey. You may have had beers from both names and thought they were different … but they’re the same. Ever since I tasted Grand Teton Brewing...

In this neck of the woods, O’so Brewing Company is, well, oh-so-famous. I first stumbled into this Plover, Wisconsin brewery in Hudson, Wisconsin, a one-off bottle in a mixed up sixer. It was their porter, it was good and I was impressed. However, the lack of...

Half Acre Ginger Twin India Style Red Ale

Noel: If you’ve tried Half Acre’s phenomenal Daisy Cutter Pale Ale and felt it a little lacking in the malt department … then this beer’s for you. Ok, so Ginger Twin isn’t quite as good a red ale as Daisy Cutter is a pale (although the bottle artwork is awesome). But...
