Sending beer through the internet tubes
Couple of things about this beer. First, it's one of those beers that I never remember having. So even though I've checked it in only twice, there was a very long time where I was getting it a lot just because I'm an idiot. Second, first time I had this was back in 2014. I'd... Continue Reading →
Dialing this one in a bit because it's late and honestly...it's Aviator. It's going to be a hoppy mess. I've had this one a bit too long, so I'll say it was probably a bit better when it was fresh, but my consistent and infrequent (despite, at one time, being the closest brewery to my...

I took a practice Cicerone test tonight. I've not felt so dumb since organic chemistry in college. You guys tell me what dessert would pair well with a malty English Old aged in new oak barrels and why? I'll wait... Tonight's beer won't have a picture associated with it because the can is literally a... Continue Reading →
New brewery in the Quay, which is always welcome. Takes the place of the old Lincoln Brewing which went...somewhere. Great tap line up as they get their own up and running. Had their saison which was very good and will make a great base for all sorts of experimenting. We got to talk to the... Continue Reading →
I have a grill I should pull out and use more than I do. Big ol' manly grill. My favorite grill is this one the size of a notebook we take camping. Just big enough to cook up dinner for Bo and Nelly and no one else. Just like I like most of my trips... Continue Reading →
Hey you guys! Out watching Goonies at Mason Jar Lager Company in Varina. Drinking their schwartzbier. Smells of toffee with chocolate in the background. Very little hop but a slight ester smell. Pours a very dark brown with a thin head. Sweet almost cloying but doesn't cross that line. Slightly roasty, but very toasty and... Continue Reading →
Reinheitsgebot! Time to get our German on! I've got pictures of a trip to Berlin from a few years ago, but considering the beer and the style both had Munich in their name, it didn't feel right using a picture of the wrong city. So I went with the most stereotypical German picture Google could... Continue Reading →
Not sure what happened to my beer count on Untappd. I lost one somewhere. Oh well, we'll just stay on #3609 forever (or until tomorrow). River Rat is an interesting brewery for us. Our kid joined the Army in 2017 and did basic training at Fort Jackson just around the corner (across town) from this... Continue Reading →
Oh geez...I've had this one; albeit two years ago. I guess that's going to happen from time to time. I originally had this at a great steakhouse in Raleigh, NC: The Angus Barn. They have great French Onion soup and they will Oscar a steak for you (crab and asparagus...so tasty). On to the beer!... Continue Reading →
One beer review a day. Starting today. Maybe. I hope. I'm going to use a variety of tools here: Untappd: http://www.untappd.com BJCP Beer Scoresheet:Â https://www.bjcp.org/docs/SCP_BeerScoreSheet.pdf 33 Bottles of Beer: 33books.com These first few will be a bit pedestrian as I continue to prepare for the daunting task of Certified Cicerone.
