4 Quarters Owl at Night

Some people will drink any style of beer during any time of year, pounding pale lager in a blizzard and sipping imperial stout in mid-summer. I am not one of those people. While there are some beers I will drink all year long (cough*IPA*cough), I tend to drink a lot of dark beer in the […]

Barewolf Quart Order

I’ve been focusing more of my reviews on underrepresented and underappreciated beer styles, as I promised at the beginning of the year. This very much includes one of my favorite beer styles, the classic British porter. Most American versions of the style seem to be mini-stouts, nearly black in color and favoring big roasted malt […]

Stellwagen Distant Wind

One of my favorite beer styles, especially during the cold months of winter, are porters. Originally brewed in London and named for it’s popularity with street and river porters, this dark beer showcases roasted malts along with a noticeable dose of hops. Along with many other traditional British styles, porter was a staple of the […]

Flying Dreams Park Ave Porter

Flying Dreams Brewing Company was founded by owner/brewer Dave Richardson, who spent years honing his craft at the Gardner Ale House. They launched a production brewery in Worcester in 2015 and also sold beer to go, but the space lacked a taproom, which quickly became a necessity for a local brewery. As they were searching […]

Small Change Night Windows

My life has reached a new level of crazy and busy. It has been a long time since I could plan my weekends around beer releases and brewery trips, but now I feel like I routinely miss beers that I want to try that are available in distribution. I usually buy a bunch of beers […]

Castle Island Dream Police

As the end of March rapidly approaches I am ready to finish up the porters, stouts and other dark and malty beers in my fridge and move onto some saisons, maibocks and other great spring offerings. I’ve been busy with non-beer review posts recently so I have a little backlog of beers to review in […]

Clown Shoes Pecan Pie Porter

When I wrote my goals for Hoppy Boston in 2019 I mentioned that I wanted to stop chasing whalez and re-visit some breweries that I had neglected for too long. As part of this I also hope to write more articles and reviews on beers and breweries that are a little under the radar. I […]

Night Shift Out Of Darkness

I wanted to knock out one more Night Shift article and make sure to plug my Night Shift Brewery Profile on The Full Pint. Thanks for everyone who checked the profile out and chimed in with their favorite Night Shift beers. Look for a couple more articles to finish up my Full Pint series on […]

Harpoon Dunkin’ Coffee Porter

Despite surviving 6 years of grueling graduate school and now parenthood with two young children, I never started drinking coffee. I am not entirely sure why, I like the smell of coffee and didn’t dislike the flavor the few times I’ve tried it, I just never picked up the habit. Despite my lack of coffee […]

Down the Road Spring Heel Jack

My life has been a little chaotic recently, one of the March storms threw a wrench into lots of plans and knocked power out at my house for a few days, and then during the most recent storm my wife and I went into Boston for the birth of our second child. Now I am back into caring […]
