Wynkoop Brewing’s Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout: Does this count as meat?
I am a long-time vegetarian. I am also a lover of beer. These two normally harmonious characteristics were recently challenged when I found out about Wynkoop Brewing’s Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout.

Square One Brewery & Distillery, St. Louis: Delicious!
A few weeks ago I wrote about my “adventure” in St. Louis for Crafting a Nation’s site, Lost in St. Louis: Finds Urban Chestnut Brewing Co., where I described my harrowing journey of being alone in an unfamiliar city, in search of good beer. But I’m going to rewind for a minute and talk about…

GABF: Why do you make us wait until the day OF for the beer list?!
Like many people, I’ve been excited about this year’s GABF for months. I’m a planner. I like having things to look forward to, and I enjoy doing research about events, places, etc. I love to plan things out. I’m doing well on my “breweries I must visit” list, but what’s really killing me is that…
