Black Shirt Brewing: FINALLY!
I first heard about Black Shirt Brewing Co. a LONG time ago. I really have no idea just how long ago—it’s been that long. I drive by their place every day on my way to work. And each time I would think, “I wonder when I’ll get to go drink a beer there.” Well, I…
Bridge Tap House: Some of Missouri’s Finest Brews +
I recently blogged about some great breweries I visited while in St. Louis. I’d like to mention another place and, while not a brewery, they have a fantastic tap wall with beers from all over the world: Bridge Tap House and Wine Bar. Bridge Tap House has 55 beers on tap, many of them from…

Hot Thoup (Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales, Milton, DE). This beer was served warm, which is completely unlike any beer…
Great American Beer Festival 2012: Highlights
Thanks to some of my wonderful followers I was able to get a lot of superb suggestions on breweries to visit during GABF. Specifically I needed help with those East of the Mississippi River, as many of them don’t make their way out to Colorado. If you told me to go see a brewery at…
HAPPY GABF, EVERYONE!!!
