Beer Luvvas,Looks like Breck beers just got more expensive by the ounce....Breckenridge Brewery‘s Small Batch series, known for its premium ingredients and higher ABV, is rolling out in 4-packs. The transition to 4-packs starts with its 471 IPA and the re-release of 72 Imperial, a double chocolate cream stout made with dark and milk chocolate from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. “The move from

Beer Luvvas,Had an opportunity to head over to HOTD Taproom earlier this week and encountered a pleasant surprise. I'm not sure if this is a new 'regular' thing, but they now have a rotating "Vintage Tap." As of earlier this week the "Vintage Tap" was 2008 Doggie Claws!The quaff was smooth, and there were no hints of the 10+% ABV that lurks within the dark, frothy brew. I highly recommend

As the photo shows, its not as dark as the name for the longest night of the year would imply. The beer is light for a winter seasonal with a sweet malt finish similar to a barleywine minus the alcohol burn. A pleasant quaff with

Aloha, Just returned to our condo from a delicious pub grub meal at Maui Brewing. I was able to create my own sampler and tried their bourbon barrel aged stout...a bit strong, but worthy; the imperial coconut porter...not my fav, a bad combo of imperial hops/alcohol with the sweet of coconut and porter malt; the english style strong ale...a bit strong and bitter but solid for the style;

Amazing what you can find in different parts of the state. Central Point, OR 'the Outback of Oregon' has a small brewery with a mighty pale ale!

Made a quick detour thru Truckee on our way back to SMF after a great weekend in Lake Tahoe to sample a quaff, or two, from Fifty Fifty Brewing.Unfortunately we were behind schedule and the quaff was only a single - but what a great choice I made!Beg, borrow or steal a way to head to Truckee and sample the 2010 B.A.R.T (Barrel Aged Real Tasty)! It's a blend of their porter and barleywine aged in

I should use all lower case letters so it's easier to read:illegally blonde - an Imperial Vanilla Cream Ale currently on tap @ Lompoc Sidebar in NW Portland.What a great name, for an interesting beer. To take the thought to far, what would one do to become illegally blonde? I'm not sure, but if Reese Witherspoon is involved I'm definitely intrigued!Prost!

Beer Luvvas,I finally picked up my birthday gift from Freebird, a little early, but that's when it was ready. Many moons ago, Freebird pre-ordered a 1/6th barrel keg from Vertigo Brewing on my behalf.

Beer Luvvas, Interesting happenings in Illinois..... There's a new bill going through the state legislature to allow craft brewers to distribute their own beer - in limited quantities. AB InBev is being excluded due to size..'if it is able to gain that right (to distribute their own beer)...some of the smallest craft beers could be squeezed out of the market.' I'm not sure that I buy that
