Night Shift Waiting for Anton
At the beginning of my last article on the New England Craft Beer Hall of Fame I mentioned my mixed feelings about Twitter, the social media site that features a ton of hate and trolling but also awesome people coming together over their shared passion for a common interest. Beer Twitter has some trolls, accounts […]
New England Beer Hall of Fame Part 1: My Picks
Twitter (and other forms of social media) has an amazing ability to be both a cesspool that amplifies the voice the worst parts of humanity and an awesome source of community that connects people who have similar interests.

Exhibit A Pink Boots Were Made For Brewing
The owners and high level employees in the craft beer industry are overwhelmingly male, which has resulted in more than a few breweries operating more like a frat house than a business. There have been reported problems ranging from from inappropriate beer names and labels, questionable activity on social media and even sexual harassment and […]
Hoppy Boston Best Beers- Spring 2018

They clearly underestimated the obsession with variety and novelty that drives […]

In case you missed it: I wrote a two-part article for The Full Pint on my favorite NEIPAs from every state in New England. Part One covers beers from Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire while Part Two covers beers from Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. Let me know what you think! One of the big beer […]
Wash Ashore Maya Mae
Cape Cod and the islands are quickly becoming a craft beer destination. A number of exciting new breweries have opened on the Cape and some have even expanded distribution up into metro Boston. One newer addition to the Cape Cod brewing scene is Wash Ashore Brewing Company. Wash Ashore was founded by a group of […]
Zero Gravity Cone Head
On Monday I wrote a review of a beer from Fore River Brewing out of Maine and discussed my excitement when breweries from other parts of New England extend their footprint into the Boston area. When I was writing my two part series on my favorite NEIPAs in every state in New England I realized […]
