So, today I arrived in Germany - and promptly decided to go to France! More correctly, I decided to take a quick day trip to the Alsace region of France to see what’s left of the once proud brewing heritage of this past pawn in the power struggles between Germany and France
Now, I had a […]
As my wife and co-blogger mentioned, we went out for dinner the other night without kids! For those too young to know, that’s a very exciting thing to us parental types.
In any event, I was pleased to note that the restaurant, already discussed in this post, had a number of beers from the Belgian farmhouse […]
Naming conventions for beer are a little peculiar to say the least. The Märzen, or March beer, is brewed in March but drunk in fall of the next year. The Maibock, or May bock, is a strong, malty lager beer which is also brewed in March (or earlier these days) but drunk in May. Michael […]
This past Sunday was not the warmest of days, but after a long walk in the local arboretum with my three small children I was hankering for a beer on the porch and some moments of relative peace. My beer of choice? Gaffel Kölsch, and for whatever reason it was just the right thing. As […]
In had a few beers the other night, but the one I remember enjoying most is the Nugget Nectar from Tröegs. It’s a very tasty beer, with a very slight sweetness - almost as though there’s a tiny hint of honey in it. Now, I’m not much for overly sweet beers, this was a very […]
A while ago a friend of mine went to Australia, which inspired me to seek out a few Australian beers to try out. I’ve had enough Foster’s in my life to know better, so I searched a little harder and found a couple of beers from Coopers, a relatively large brewery which has a number […]
I mentioned it in an earlier post, but if you’re looking for something to do this weekend check out Philly Beer Week, a ten day celebration of beer in a city with quite a beer legacy of its own. There will be over 175 events across the city, including tastings, tours, and meals paired with […]
I went to the Philadelphia Craft Beer Festival over the weekend, and I enjoyed it. First, the good bits.
- There are a lot of good breweries there, showcasing a host of different brews.
- Although the shows routinely sell out, you’re still only one or two people away from a beer at any time.
- Most breweries […]
Some time ago a few friends and I did a head-to-head comparison of a number of lovely Munich Starkbiers in honor of the end of Lent, and the winner was - Korbinian!
I’ll write a little more about Starkbier later, but you should know that the traditional Munich Starkbiers are all named with names which end […]
I was surfing for interesting things to report on while trying to decide on a beer to drink when I stumbled across this article about stout from the lesser of my two hometown papers. Fortunately for me, I have both Beamish and Murphy’s stout in the pub draft version in my basement right now, so […]
