Jesse Becker, a wine expert shared a bottle of my barleywine over the fourth of July, and he was inspired enough by it to write a little blurb about it in his wine blog.
he makes it sound pretty damn good! (it was/is!)
Barleywines are beer, but they often come close to wine-like [...]
From “My Beer Pix” blog,

A few of USAs best breweries made some wort and split it up between various barrels that they brought in. It’s a lambic experiment, should be pretty damn interesting. Maybe I’ll have to ask brother bernie in SF to keep his eyes peeled.

No posts for a while, but it’s ok. I have made some beer. A golden, a spontaneous fermentation and a maple syrup esb.
I spent a few days in california and had some good beers.
Best were the IPAs from Russian River. 21st amendment had a nice IPA but it was similar to the three – (blind [...]
So, I still haven’t posted very much stuff.
Brewed my first BeerQuest(atEmpyrean) beer, an IPA. It’s all done fermenting. Originally chilled to too low of a temp, I pitched more yeast after 24hrs of lag time, bythe next day it was ROCKIN’!
I found some bark in the back of the beer truck. And helped a local [...]

I’d [...]
My favorite style.
Rocky Mountian IPA – Ft. Collins Brewery.
Great floral nose. Amber color.  Good bitterness balances the caramel notes.  Hop bitterness fades and flavor remains.  Very good beer.  No real flaws. However, After it warmed I got similar hop notes as the Cold Hop from Boudler Beer, which I really dislike.
Lakefront’s [...]
I suck. I admit it. I haven’t posted for what a Month? Jeez!
Good beers have been had. Photos have been taken. But no posts.

Let me explain.Â
Working at a brewery hasn’t killed my love for beer or my love for talking about beer. (ask justin who was back for the hollidays and he maybe heard two sentences from [...]
Ok, this is the first of two posts about Shawn’s IPA. This is the cooler/warming up bottle, I will follow with the room/cellar temp bottle.
hazy light orange color.
Well attenuated and quite carbonated.
I enjoy this beer because it is dry and crisp which causes me to take another sip and before long, there isn’t much left [...]
Ok. Hard Work Week, Good Beer Week.
Starts off with Chimay Gift pack. Small Bottles of each – Red, White and Blue.
Also, Great Divide’s Fresh Hop and Hibernation Ale, Orval, Flying Dog’s Double Dog Pale.  Hooray Beer.
Hibernation was a surprise with it’s intense dark crystal/special b type malt and big dry hopping. Â Great at about [...]
