Of course I couldn’t do this completely on my own so I’ve acquired the assistance of fellow beer blogger and bike enthusiest Beckel from the blog Legal Beer. This weekend we’ll be riding the planned route to see [..

Win a Beginning Home Brewing DVD

Interested in home brewing but nervous about how to begin? I know when I started I had all the equipment and a few books but I still wish I had some visual tutorial. Well look no further than this DVD. This DVD specializes in extract brewing which most every beginner starts with. It’s a great [...]

Great Lakes Conway Irish

Now this a smooth beer. Since my 3 week detox the only beer I’ve been drinking are hop bombs. Probably because those are the beers I gravitate towards the most but I’m always pleasantly surprised by the more tame beers. Makes me wonder when I’ll switch styles. Hop bombs, though tasty,  are growing o

And lucky me, right at the start of Surly Brewery’s 5th Anniversary month. Crap. Well followed through, mostly, planned on till after [..

Bigfoot 2011

This is fresh, really fresh. The hops are really strong with the barley wine characteristics coming up after the hop burn subsides. Sierra Nevada’s Bigfoot is a national treasure.

Hop Slam, my old friend.

What can I say about the beer that introduced me to “the limit.” I was well into craft beer before I first had this but for some reason this was different. And even 4 years later it’s still special. Every year I still buy too much of it,  regret when I drink too much of [...]

La Crosse, Wisconsin

Recently my wife and I went on a little trip to La Crosse, Wisconsin. A small city in southern Wisconsin that sits on the banks of three rivers, most notably the Mississippi it boasts the record for most bars per capita. I am sure the tourism beaurau would prefer something else but this little tid [

Surly Fest 2010

First time ever to this event. And what a perfect day we had. Not too hot, not too cold and the sun was shining, birds were singing and the beer was flowing. I decided to do the right thing and bike there, and good thing I did because I could barely bike out of the [...]

Title Town Brew Pub and Shipwrecked Brew Pub

Here is a quick picture post on my trip to Door County, Wisconsin. Title Town Brew Pub is located in, obviously, Green Bay. It’s pretty much right on the way to Door County. Door County by the way is the “thumb” of Wisconsin the jots out into Lake Michigan. I really like this brew pub, [...]
