748. Natty Greene’s Brewing Co. – Cannonball Double IPA
It’s a couple days before Thanksgiving, and I had to pick up a huge turkey, because we’re having everyone over at our house for Thanksgiving. In order to make room in the refrigerator, I needed to clear out a few beers. So, I thought I’d sit down and enjoy this one I stuck in the fridge a couple weeks ago. It’s from my sister’s trip to Asheville, North Carolina this past fall. I’ve never heard of...
725. Three Floyds Brewing – Arctic Panzer Wolf Imperial IPA
It’s college football kickoff Saturday and my Mizzou Tigers are taking on the Jackrabbits of SD State. I sat down to watch the game and cracked open this beer, which I picked up a couple weeks ago during our trip up to Michigan. The ToGo line at Three Floyds was ridiculously long, since Zombie Dust had just come out that day. So, we stopped at a liquor Store just down the street from the brewery, and picked up a few Three...
723. Olde Hickory Brewery – Death By Hops IPA
Work has been slow, as I wrap up my last week or so until I start my new job. I got home tonight, and was very productive. I added a couple of motion sensors to our indoor light switches, because the kids always leave the lights on, and then I ended up mowing the lawn. So, after a productive evening, I thought I’d come in and crack open a beer. This is one of the many beers that my sister brought me back from her trip to...
722. Sierra Nevada – Hoptimum Whole-Cone Imperial IPA
Well, today I announced that I got a new job to some people at work. I start my new job in about two weeks and an really looking forward to the new adventure. After cleaning up the kitchen tonight after dinner, I decided to sit down and do a beer review. I don’t remember exactly where I got this beer, but I put it in the fridge a couple months ago with the intention of drinking it soon. I’m glad I finally got around to it....
719. Founders Brewing – Dissenter Imperial IPL 2014
I’m at Fat Jack’s in Bloomington, IL tonight for a meeting about our homebrew club’s For What it’s Wort competition. I was looking at the beer list, and hadn’t heard of this beer from Founders Brewing. They make some pretty good beers, so I didn’t think it was much of a risk to give this one a try. Some quick research on my phone told me it’s a hoppy, flavorful lager, so I was eager to give it...
718. Greenbush Brewing – Remnant of Dragon
We’re in St. Joseph, Michigan for an extended weekend, and looked around to see what breweries might be in the area. We discovered that Greenbush Brewing was just a short drive away, and the menu looked pretty good, so we thought we’d try it for dinner. We spent most of the day at Silver Beach, so the kids were worn out and didn’t appreciate the hour-long wait to get in. They were a bit crabby, so I was happy to...
712. 3 Floyds Brewing Co. – War Mullet Double IPA
We aren’t able to take a long vacation this year, so we’re taking a long weekend trip up to the Michigan coast. On our way up, we stopped at Three Floyds Brewing to have lunch, since I’d never been there. It turned out that Zombie Dust came out today, so there’s a long line outside for Take Out beers. The kids and my wife weren’t thrilled with the loud punk music, but we sat down for lunch and ordered...
662. Revolution Brewing – Double Fist Double Pale Ale
It’s been a fairly relaxing weekend, cleaning up around the house and catching up on reviews from last weekend when we did a small tavern tour of Chicago. After working on some of those reviews, I had a craving for a beer. I picked up this one on a work trip to Chicago this past fall, when I was looking for local brews. I’ve heard good things about Revolution, so I was looking forward to trying their double IPA. I also put...
632. Cigar City Brewing – 110K+OT 5th Batch
It’s an incredible sports Saturday today. My Missouri Tigers basketball team just beat UCLA, and continues to have the longest home winning streak in the NCAA. The Missouri football team is just about to take on Auburn in the SEC championship game. I bought this beer of little over a year ago when I was on vacation near Tampa, Florida and stopped into the brewery. It was hidden in the crisper of the beer fridge, and thought this...
619. Monday Night Brewing – Blind Pirate Double IPA
I’m in Atlanta, GA, with my friend Joe and we’ve had quite an evening – first stopping at The Wrecking Bar Brewpub where I had a nice Jemmy Dean Breakfast Stout and a great Dry Hopped & Cedar Aged Denamelizer IIPA. Then we stopped at Leon’s Full Service in Decatur, and had a couple more good beers. Our final stop of the evening is Taco Mac in midtown, where I enjoyed this local beer while watching the end of the...
615. Wrecking Bar Brewpub – Dry Hopped & Cedar Aged Denamelizer IIPA
I’m in Atlanta, GA visiting my friend Joe, and we’re at The Wrecking Bar Brewpub for a couple beers and a snack before dinner. After I had the Jemmy Dean Breakfast Stout, my friend Joe recommended I try their Denamelizer IIPA. However, I noticed on the corner of the menu, that they had the dry hopped AND cedar aged version of this beer… in the cask! I think Joe was a bit jealous and wanted to change his order after...
