735. Bur Oak Brewing – Boone County Brown
My family and I are at the Lake of the Ozarks in central/southern Missouri with the rest of my family to help my grandparents celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary. It was great seeing my whole family, as well as my grandparents. While waiting for dinner, I ordered a local beer. I’d heard of Bur Oak Brewing during my last trip to Columbia, MO, when I had their Trail Bender Wheat. And since I used to live in Boone County when...
646. Mother’s Brewing Co. – Three Blind Mice
It’s New Years Eve and I took the day off work to stay home with the kids. I picked up this beer a few months ago when we when to St. Louis to visit my dad. I hadn’t heard of the brewery before buying this beer, but they seem pretty active on social media. I still haven’t really seen this beer outside of St. Louis. The bottle says, “Three Blind Mice is inspired by our favorite qualities from English brown ales,...
573. Pabst Brewing – Stag
This weekend I’m in Columbia, MO, home of my alma mater, the University of Missouri, for a fraternity golf tournament. I met up with my friend Bill and we hit one of my favorite food spots in town – Booches. I absolutely love their little cheeseburgers, and it’s a must for me when I hit Columbia. It’s also kind of a divey, pool-hall kinda place that serves cheap beers like this one. Therefore, to enjoy the...
504. Urban Chestnut Brewing Co – Thrale’s
We’re in St. Louis for the holidays and went out with my friend Joe and his wife to watch the Mizzou-Illinois basketball game (I went to Mizzou and my wife went to Illinois). After meeting at Perennial Artisan Ales (hoping they’d have some TVs to watch the game, or some Abraxas I could buy – they had neither), we went to the International Tap House (iTap) in Soulard to watch the game. My friend Joe had this one...
493. Flat Branch Pub & Brewing – Galaxy Wheat IPA
We’re in Columbia, Missouri this weekend for the homecoming football game at my alma mater, Mizzou. I get to make it back here a couple times a year, and when I do, I like to stop here and try some of the beers on tap. If you’re a regular reader, you’ve already seen that I’ve had their Ed’s IPA, English Pale Ale, Irish Red, Hudson’s ESB, Cherry Brown, Green Chili, Belgian Golden, and Kristal...
438. Two Brothers Brewing – Outlaw India Pale Ale
We’re out on the golf course for my fraternity’s annual golf tournament. My friend Joe had several craft beers in cans we were able to sneak onto the course (what an “outlaw”). I started out with a couple of these cans and grabbed this quick picture on the back of our cart. Joe gave me a couple cans to take home, so I was able to pour one in a glass and write down better, more thorough notes a couple of days...
436. Flat Branch Pub & Brewing – Belgian Golden
As I’ve mentioned in the last few posts, I’m in Columbia, MO for my fraternity’s annual golf tournament. After stops at 44 Stone for a couple beers, and Booches for more beer and burgers, my friend Joe and I met up with our friend Bill who lives in Columbia. The rest of the crowd went to Harpo’s, and instead, we headed to Flat Branch Pub & Brewing for a few more beers. According to the menu: “A...
433. St. Louis Brewery / Schlafly – Black IPA
I’m in Columbia, MO this weekend for my fraternity’s annual golf tournament. Followers of this blog will often see me trying new beers on my trips to the town of my alma mater, and this trip was no different. We arrived in town and immediately stopped at a new beer bar in town called 44 Stone. They had a very good craft beer list with a ton of great bottles available. I’d had several of the craft beers on tap,...
375. Flat Branch Pub & Brewing – Green Chili Beer
We’re in Columbia, Missouri today for homecoming at my alma mater, the University of Missouri. You might remember we were here a year ago for Homecoming as well, when I reviewed their Cherry Brown Ale and Hudson’s E.S.B. This beer has been a long-time favorite of my friend @jkaiseresq, so I thought I’d give it a try. Location: Enjoyed an imperial pint at Flat Branch Pub & Brewing in Columbia, MO. Ingredients: A...
229. Springfield Brewing – Blacksmith Stout
I’m in Springfield, Missouri for work today (actually we spent the day working in Branson, but we’re staying in Springfield), and as always, I was easily able to convince my travel buddy Steve to stop at the local brew pub for dinner and a couple beers after a long day. I always try to sample something unique and different, and was told by the server about their Blacksmith Stout – a dry-hopped stout with a roasty...
201. Tin Mill Brewing – Dopplebock Draft
As I mentioned in my last couple posts, we were in Hermann, MO for their Oktoberfest celebration. In the midst of all of the wineries, there was Tin Mill Brewing, so my fellow beer-loving friend and I enjoyed a few beers here while our wives headed back over to the winery. I didn’t have a whole lot of faith in Tin Mill’s beers after having their Oktoberfest, however, I thought I’d go ahead and give their dopplebock...
200. Tin Mill Brewing – Oktoberfest Draft
While visiting several wineries at the Oktoberfest celebration in Hermann, MO, we decided to take a break from the wine and have a beer. Fortunately, we knew that the Tin Mill Brewery was located right in downtown Hermann. They had a nice beer garden and band playing out back, so we hung out for a while and had a couple of beers before going back to the wineries. I also saw this as an opportunity to try another Oktoberfest beer...
