Mmmm, fish-chicks.
I’m no fisherman, but I have to agree that there is nothing better than the idea of a mer-babe surfacing on a lake to bring me a beer. Apparently the advertising firm Pocket Hercules was able to...

The label on this beer is the best part. The tricky Photoshop work is almost worth the price of the 12-pack. I wouldn’t call it tasty but it isn’t bad either. I would buy something cheaper if I wanted...

Per usual, the Schell folks put out a good, not great, beer that is light in flavor and easy to drink. I can’t think of much to say about this offering, except that I prefer it to the typical domestic...

While much better than the 2007 Snowstorm, I’m not really that impressed with the 2008 version. Definitely malty, with the rye coming through as well. They say hints of chocolate, but I’m not...
View ArticleA big commitment
I’ll be honest, I preferred last year’s Snowstorm. I think it had to do with the surprise of what looked to be a darker winter ale actually being a fruity Belgian. But then it’s unfair to compare these...
