I had the chance to move the site to 1kbeers.com, and I thought that was probably better than http://beer.kozlen.com. Find me and my reviews there now....
759. Dry Hop Brewers – Shark Meets Hipster Wheat IPA
I was up in Chicago for work and stopped at this brewery one evening a couple weeks ago. I tried a flight of their beers, and decided to get this one to bring home and review. I love the idea of the canned growler, but when I opened it, the can was several ounces short of being full. Today, I’m procrastinating getting some work done, so I thought I’d have a beer since I’m caught up on reviews and I’ve got...
706. Bur Oak Brewing – Trail Bender Wheat
After having a Nala Dog IPA from Mother’s Brewing at Quinton’s, our next stop was Addison’s in downtown Columbia, MO. They had beer from another local brewery on tap – Bur Oak Brewing. This was the only beer on tap from this brewery, and my friends informed me it was a relatively new production brewery in town. Location: On tap and served in a shaker pint glass at Addison’s in downtown Columbia, MO....
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...
657. Three Floyds Brewing – Gumballhead
Our third stop on the Tales, Taverns & Towns tour of Chicago was Mrs. Murphy & Sons Irish Bistro. Our guide Liz told us a great story about this bar, a former funeral home, and what used to happen here in the days of gangsters and prohibition. This was probably the nicest place we stopped at, as it was decorated nicely and had a lot of local craft beers on tap. Since we aren’t able to get Three Floyds beers downstate,...
595. Shipwrecked – Door County Cherry Wheat Ale
We went out to dinner out tonight, and when we came home, I went out and picked some of my homegrown hops. After spending time picking hops, I like to grab a beer to remind myself of why I spend the time picking them. However, it was pretty hot outside, so I decided to grab something a little lighter and not-so-hoppy. This beer was given to me several months ago by my friend Jim after his trip to Wisconsin last year. Location: Poured...
583. Urban Chestnut Brewing Co. – Pierre’s Wit Wheat Ale
My wife is out of town for the weekend and it’s just me and the kids at home. We just ordered a pizza and the kids are watching a movie. I was outside for a little bit watering my hop plants and I really wanted something light to enjoy with the warm evening and the pizza. I picked up this beer a couple of weeks ago when I was in St. Louis over the fourth of July weekend. I’d been Urban Chestnut a few times and enjoyed...
579. SanTan Brewing Co. – Mr. Pineapple Wheat Beer
I’m still on medication since my heart surgery, which limits my beer intake, and it’s why I haven’t had many posts lately. But it was such a gorgeous day, I had to crack open this beer. As with other beers from this brewery – including Sex Panther Chocolate Porter and Rail Slide Imperial Spiced Ale, I got this beer in the mail from the brewery. Thank you for sending this one. The can says, “Mr. Pineapple...
574. Flat Branch Pub & Brewery – Red Wheat
As I mentioned in my last post, I’m in Columbia, MO – home of my alma mater, the University of Missouri – for a fraternity golf tournament. My friend Bill and I already stopped for some great burgers at Booches and a Stag beer. Avid readers of the blog know I usually hit up Flat Branch Pub & Brewery for a couple beers when I’m in Columbia, and this trip was no different. Bill and I met up with his...
553. Lagunitas Brewing – A Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Ale
After the happy hour at Station 220 ended, where I had the Boulder Freshtracks and a bottle of Old Rasputin, I still had a little bit of time. So, I ran by Medici in Normal to grab a beer during “Wednesday Warriors” (where if you have a beer on 10 Wednesdays during the year you get a t-shirt and discounts). Now the first beer I ordered ran out (just the luck I was having if you read my last post), and they had a bunch of...
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...
435. St. Louis Brewery / Schlafly – Yakima Wheat Ale
After a quick stop at a new beer bar in Columbia, MO named 44 Stone, and enjoying Schlafly’s Black IPA and Avery’s Hog Heaven, my friend Joe and I checked into the hotel. We met up with the guys we’d be playing golf with the next day at Booche’s in downtown Columbia. It’s a pool hall with some of the best little hamburgers anywhere. Joe and I each ordered several burgers as well as a pitcher of this...
