Yesterday I reviewed the first three beers in Sierra Nevada’s Beer Camp 12-pack. Today I’ll continue with the final three and some thought on the pack as a whole. Moxee Moron Imperial Session IPA: Represents the Pacific Northwest and Rockies in collaboration with Bale Breaker, Barley Brown’s, Black Raven, Melvin and Odell Brewing. The “style” imperial […]

Sierra Nevada Beer Camp 2016 Part 1
Last year Sierra Nevada launched Beer Camp, a series of beer festivals in different cities across the country. As part of this celebration they brewed 12 collaboration beers each one with a different brewer in a Beer Camp host city. The 12 beers were sold as a 12-pack, which sold out incredibly quickly around here so I […]
Sam Adams Rebel Raw
I am a huge fan of the show Top Chef, I have watched every season. When I started grad school and was trying to live in Boston on a small stipend I taught myself to really cook (beyond grilling and a few other simple dishes) and I used food TV as a source of inspiration. There are a few […]
Stony Creek Cranky IPA
Not even a year ago I wrote about the lack of Connecticut beers available in the Boston market. I try to make this blog cover all of New England and I had read about a number of exciting breweries in CT but few were distributing north of the border. I even made a stop in Hartford on […]
Aeronaut A Year With Dr. Nandu
Every year a multitude of new breweries are opening while others are expanding production and opening new taprooms. There isn’t a single business model that these brewers need to follow, there have been many different routes to success. I’ve enjoyed watching the path taken by Aeronaut Brewing Company in Somerville. First they opened their taproom, a fun […]
Kent Falls Equinox
I recently reviewed Stand Out, a single-hop pale ale from Long Trail Brewing that features the Equinox hop. As a homebrewer I love beers that feature single hop varieties, it helps me plan fun ways to use the hops in future homebrew batches. I wasn’t very familiar with the Equinox hop variety, and while I […]
Jack’s Abby House Lager
A few weeks ago I wrote an article on house beers, the types of beer you keep around the house for all occasions. My readers seemed to agree with many of my selections, or they didn’t disagree enough to comment on it, but there were a few other beers that people suggested. One was Jack’s […]
Two Roads/Evil Twin Geyser Gose
For a long time I was hesitant to try gose beers. It took me a little time to warm up to sour beers (I am still working on some of the more aggressively sour styles), and the description of a gose sounded a little strange. Gose is a kettle soured wheat ale that is traditionally brewed with salt, and occasionally […]
Troegs Cultivator Helles Bock
The Hoppy Boston style of the month for May is actually a combination of styles, Maibock/Helles bock and Helles lager. I felt the need to combine the two because there were a limited number of examples for each style that I could easily obtain, especially when you factor in the beers I’ve already reviewed. Maibock […]
Trillium Fort Point Pale Ale
Next week my son turns a year old, it is incredible how quickly the time flies. When my wife was pregnant she completely abstained from drinking, there are plenty of women who have a drink here or there (which is fine, no judgment), but she decided not to and stuck to it throughout. Probably the closest […]
