 Brewery Pint Night  UPCOMING EVENTS  |
In case you didn’t know, I have a thing for seasonal beers. There’s no better time for seasonal beers than the winter. So to help get you prepared for this wonderful time of season, I have a new resource and a couple quick reviews. Continue reading A Couple Seasonal Beers and a Handy Resource With the Autumn Seasonal week well under way, it’s about time to get to a beer requested by a reader. So today I present, just for Drew, Sam Adam’s Octoberfest. Continue reading October in September Last week I sang the praises of the Sam Adams specially designed beer glass. Recently, BevMo began stocking this glass and I was excited. Well, on my most recent trip to the warehouse beverage market, I went on a hunt or the glass. Continue reading The Sam Adams Glass Are you sick of me writing about glassware? Well too bad. This should be the last one for a while, I promise. Continue reading Even More Glassware In my house, summer and Boston mean one thing: the Red Sox. My wife loves the Red Sox. It’s all Big Papi, Manny being Manny and Jason Varitek until the last game is played. Being a Giants fan, I am looking for some way to change this, even slightly.

Continue reading Nice Delicious…Glass? I have been looking forward to my first visit to Stout Brothers all week. With my daughter only 8 months old, the wife and I really have to be careful where we take her. I contacted the pub to make sure it was a family friendly establishment, at least during the day. I was told not to worry, the craziness wouldn’t start until 7 or so. So the family piled into the car and off to Stout Brothers we went. Continue reading Happy St. Patrick’s Day: Stout Brothers So, apparently, I’m pretty harsh on Sam Adams. Maybe I put down their beers once in a while. Does it mean I think they are bad people? Well it’s obvious they aren’t. Jim Koch choo-choo-choosed all of us for Valentine’s Day by deciding to “share” the bountiful hop contracts of Sam Adams with small brewers. Continue reading Well, Now I Feel Stupid I have to apologize. Without being able to drink beer it really is hard to write about beer. A few stories have slipped through the cracks and I felt I should keep everyone up to date. So here are a few quick hits from various news articles.
