Green Flash Barleywine

Green Flash Barleywine2

After the trifecta of Heavy Seas barleywines last month, I have been on a search for more of these heavy-handed brews…They seem to just mesh perfectly with the end of Winter and transition into Spring and warmer weather.

Fox Ridge Vineyard and Winery- the Envy of the East Coast

fox1

In York, Pa., a short jaunt from the bustle of the Philadelphia city streets, Fox Ridge Vineyard and Winery is consistently putting out quality, award-winning wines that are the envy of the East Coast.

Highland Cold Mountain Winter Ale

Highland Cold Mountain Winter Ale1

This brew has been on my beer wishlist since last winter because I have heard so many great things about it.  How stoked was I to find it last week, and in a big 22 oz bomber!

Blackstock Vineyards Estate Wines

A number of wineries have taken root in the southern terminus of Appalachian Mountains. While taking advantage of the rich, fertile soil, these Georgian wineries have seen boom times as of late. Among these wineries is Blackstock Vineyards.

Heavy Seas Below Decks Barleywine(s) 2011

heavy seasa

I have sampled the base brew of this collection a couple times in the past, and was pretty impressed with the result. But never before have I been able to taste three different versions of the same beer.

Lagunitas Imperial Stout

From the picture, you can tell I have been taking full advantage of the fine summer weather here in Virginia right where I should be – by the grill!

After a heavy meal of steaks or burgers and brats, everybody needs dessert…Yesterday mine was chocolaty, sweet and roasty.

Lagunitas Imperial Stout is a 9.9% ABV juggernaut that is described on their website as, “kinda like a hydraulic sandwich in a glass”. WTF?!
I like the other description better – “Dark and thick like your favorite dessert with a Bonus.” Yeah, it was definitely  a heavy dessert-style beer. Black with a two-finger head of off-white flecked foam, the brew smells of dark chocolate and licorice.
The first sip was actually much sweeter than expected, but still incredibly rich and roasty. Lots of chocolate and bitter java swirl to provide the most excellent night cap after a night of gluttony. Under normal circumstances, I would have handled this 22 oz bomber by myself. However, last night we had friends over to grill out and I got to share it. A truly awesome beer, and a great end to a great night!

Guppy’s Good Times–More than a Good Time

Walking along the side of the street were a group of young people, clearly drunk, so I decided to yell out to them. I asked them for a good bar around the area and some of them yelled out in unison, “Guppy’s Good Times.” I had never heard of it, so I asked them to point me in the right direction and off we went.

The Kingshead Pub

Fort Lauderdale has no shortage of backdoor saloons, sports bars, dives, and pool halls. There is, however, a shortage of quiet, cultivated establishments to share a pint and conversation with friends (at least not without first emptying your wallet and offering up your soul). The Kingshead breaks that mold by offering up sophistication and class [...]

Oktober in August!

July is over, but we here in the south know the hottest summer months are still ahead of us. That means lots of dry throats that need a-quenchin’.

Ye Olde Ale House 2

Go to the Ye Olde Ale House

if I lived thirty-four miles away, had a terrible case of the gout, and my only ride there was from Jeffrey Dahmer, I’d take my chances. Once Jeffrey saw the food there, he wouldn’t want to eat me, anyway.

Northwest Philly’s Broke Pub Crawl

If you’re strapped for cash, like me, but you want to booze and pub crawl around the city of Philadelphia–what do you do?  Well, for starters, if you’re somewhat broke you’re probably going to stay away from the downtown scene

Adult Butterbeer: Don’t Let Your Kids Have All the Fun

Butter beer was described by J.K Rowling as “a little bit like less-sickly butterscotch.” While it has been argued whether or not there actually is alcohol in butterbeer, plenty of potterheads have decided to create their own concoctions.
