It's been a loooooong time since I last reviewed Stone Brewing Arrogant Bastard Ale. Part of that is because it vanished from local grocery stores. Apparently distribution changed, and this Californian

And once again I am back for another #BeerSaturday. For those who don't know, it's a weekly contest that's in its 354th week. Does that make it the longest running challenge on Hive? I don't know for sure,

Take a deep breath, you are one sip away from the unrelentingly pleasant tropical aroma and refreshing taste of pineapple and citrus fruit in our Hazy IPA! As agile as a fur bearer on a matchstick boat,

New Belgium Brewing of Fort Collins, Colorado is the fourth-largest craft brewer in the country and the eighth-overall largest brewer in the United States, according to Wikipedia. Seems a bit big for the

I missed last month due to connection issues and schedule conflicts, but I'm back for the November edition of LEO Power Up Day! If you see this post before the UTC calendar rolls over to the 16th, and

Well, it looks like I actually reviewed the Widmer Brothers Hefe twice already, and the Drop Top Amber once, but I think this is my first time reviewing the Deadlift Imperial IPA. Besides, it can be

Way back before Hive was Hive, on the chain-which-shall-not-be-named, I wrote an early Amateurish Beer review entry on Ninkasi Total Domination IPA almost 6 years ago in late May of 2017. The questions

Wherein I bloviate about beer and... vampires?

It's been nearly a week since I last posted anything. Since then, I have been subjected to more birthday celebrations. I survived. We played Joking Hazard from the terrible people at Cyanide and Happiness,

October means pumpkin beer is back. Some breweries mix in real pumpkin. Others just toss in some "pumpkin spice" mix. New Belgium went in a completely different direction here, though. Most of

I ran across this picture of a pair of beers I intended to review several weeks ago, but never finished writing the post. I'd review something other than IPAs, but that is what the microbreweries are pumping

I recently cracked into a can of Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial IPA, so now it's time to share the experience with you. It's been a while since I last participated in #beersaturday, but this was worthy

Imagine Nutella and Guinness got caught having a scandalous affair, and their bastard offspring was sold on grocery store shelves. This is one magnificent bastard! Meet Chocolate Hazelnut Death from Iron

I need a hug... a Beer Hug! It's also still somewhat damp and cold this spring, so a tropical vacation has a certain allure. This can claims to contain such comfort. Tropical Beer Hug is a double-hopped

It's been a while, but I'm back for more alcohol exploration! Bayern Brewing of Missoula, Montana has been around for 35 years, and Dragon's Breath is their take on a dark hefeweizen. It definitely bears

Here in the Pacific Northwest, the craft brew scene is dominated by a particular style of India Pale Ale, known for strong hops and little malt. Most are not pleasant, in my opinion, with breweries eager

Malty roasty happiness in a can with a bit of extra kick.

This IPA has the features I usually dislike, and yet... But first, the facts. Lots of info is available from the brewery. Malts - 2 Row Pale, Munich Hops - Chinook, Citra, Mosaic, Columbus Yeast - English

This may be the final installment of my intermittent amateurish beer review series, at least for the foreseeable future. A family member seems to have some serious issues with alcoholism, and I will

Beers from northwest microbreweries tend to be a bit of a crapshoot. The current hop-happy hipster trend sometimes results in an unbalanced, unpalatable brew. Fortunately, while this is an oddly hoppy
