704. Dortmunder Actien Brauerei – DAB Original
After a long evening of hanging out in Columbia, MO for the evening – stopping at Logboat Brewing along the way – we went back to my friend Tom’s house to crash before the golf tournament in the morning. Tom is big into all things German, and has been there several times for Oktoberfest. He offered me this German bier he had in his fridge while we hung out chatting before bed. I have a bottle of this back in the beer...
703. Logboat Brewing – Snapper IPA
As I mentioned in my last couple posts, I’m in Columbia, MO for an annual golf tournament. Logboat Brewing is a new brewery in town, and my friends and I went for a few drinks. I thought they had a really nice brewery and rustic-like tasting room, but their outdoor beer garden area was great. I can tell that is going to be a big hot spot for them. I had their Mamoot, and their Shiphead Ginger Wheat earlier, so now it was time to...
702. Logboat Brewing – Shiphead Ginger Wheat
I’m in Columbia, MO for the weekend, and after enjoying some burgers at Booches (along with a local craft beer – Mamoot from Logboat Brewing), we headed to Logboat Brewery for a couple more beers. It was suggested by my local friends that I try their ginger wheat beer, which seems to be gaining traction locally as their signature beer. The brewery is very nice and new, and the tasting room/bar has a nice rustic feel with...
701. Logboat Brewing – Mamoot
I’m in Columbia, Missouri this weekend for my annual pilgrimage to my alma mater for an alumni golf tournament with my fraternity. Readers of this blog will note that this happens the first weekend in June every year, and it’s also a chance for me to add a few new beers to this list. Readers also know that my first stop is almost always at Booches for burgers and beers. Normally I enjoy a Busch or Stag beer with my burger,...
700. Full Sail Brewing – Imperial Stout 2008
There’s a ton of stress right now in my life between owning/maintaining two homes and trying to sell one of them. On top of that, I’m having to interview to keep my job, deal with air conditioner issues at both houses, and other things too numerous to mention here. I chose this big beer to enjoy for the ceremonious landmark of #700 because I was given it by John Harris when I brewed with him at Full Sail Riverplace in...
699. Samuel Adams – Rebel IPA Draft
My dad is in town for my son’s baseball games this weekend, and tonight we decided to hit Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner. Since dad was buying, he suggested I have a beer. This seemed to be the most interesting thing they had on tap, and I’d been wanting to give it a try since I saw it come out a few months ago. Besides, I always enjoy pairing a nice IPA with spicy chicken wings. Location: On-tap and served in a large Sam...
698. Cigar City Brewing – Black Whole A Multi-Dimensional Ale
Its been a bit crazy lately with the two houses and stuff going on at work. After school today, my wife had to take the kids to a doctor appointment. So, when I got home, I had the house all to myself. So I sat down and pulled the first beer I could find out of the fridge. I don’t remember if I picked up this beer during our vacation to Florida last year, or if it was one my sister gave me after her trip to Asheville in the...
697. Tyranena Brewing – Rocky’s Revenge Bourbon Brown
My wife and I are up in Rochester, MN this evening because I have a checkup at Mayo Clinic. It’s been a little over a year since my heart surgery, and we’re here to see if my heart is shrinking back to normal size. Tonight, we went back to The Loop, a restaurant we hit the night before my surgery last year, because I remembered they had good food and a pretty good local tap list. I’d never heard of Tyranena Brewing...
696. Revolution Brewing – Anti-Hero IPA
I haven’t been able to do many reviews lately, as thing are crazier than ever before. Between fixing up the new house every night, having to have a plumber out to the new house to work on a leak that did damage at the new house, to the air conditioner breaking down at the old house and finding out my job is in jeopardy… I haven’t had much time to sit and relax. In fact, right now I should probably be working. Anyway,...
258. Founders Brewing – Backwoods Bastard Rereviewed
Thank God it’s Friday. It’s been a full day at work, and then my son’s baseball team had practice tonight. I’m an assistant coach, so I had to help. When I got home, I had to dig up a huge crown of Cascade hops. Since we’re moving soon, I wanted to bring them over to the new house and plant them. After all that work, I decided it was time for a very good beer – especially since I haven’t had many...
695. Veteran Beer Co. – Blonde Bomber American Blonde Ale
It’s been a while, but we’ve been busy. We closed on our new house last week, and we’ve been over there almost every night painting and cleaning. Tonight, I took a break and decided to try this beer that was sent to me by Veteran Beer Company. They sent me the two beers they make, which is this one, as well as their Veteran lager to try. The label has a cool, patriotic vibe and I like the artwork. Location: Poured...
694. Lompoc Brewing – Proletariat Northwest Red Ale
It’s been a week since I’ve had a beer, since I came down with a cold, and tonight was the kids’ school indoor carnival. It’s 500 kids hopped up on candy and sugar running all over the school to play homemade carnival games with parents chasing behind. Needless to say, I needed a beer when I got home. Fortunately, this beer arrived in the mail a few days ago from my generous friend @BettyWriter who lives in...
