Town Hall Hop Index is a great pale ale with enough CTZ and Summit hops to almost make it an IPA. Weighing in at 6.1% ABV it’s a great brew to enjoy sitting on the patio outside at the brewpub on a warm summer day as I did. It’s still on tap but it... Read More

A lovely bottle of Full Sail Old Broadhead Barleywine from 2010. A nice barleywine at an awesome price (only $4.99 a bomber). I’ve had this beer most years since ’05 or so although it seems it may now be discontinued. While it is a very nice barleywine,... Read More

A big imperial stout from a can. Oskar Blues Ten Fidy pours as thick new motor oil and as dar as the well used stuff. Big, chocolatey, and roasty, this brew is great for sipping. Canned beer doesn’t seem to age the way that bottled does. This was a 2 year old... Read More

I’ve had a Brewzkey on my keychain for a number of years now. It’s really handy and doesn’t add much to your keychain (I prefer to keep mine simple without any unneeded bulk added). Since you always carry your keys, you always have a bottle opener... Read More

A gift from a friend, I was warned that these bottles didn’t properly carbonate (something thats all too common from Lost Abbey). I left this beer out of the cellar and at room temperature for over two years in hopes that it might get some bit of carbonation... Read More
