Beer Review: North Coast Brother Thelonious
North Coast Brewing’s Brother Thelonious is one of those beers I always have seen but never got; was it worth it? We all have those beers we see and want to get, but always grab something else instead; I recently decided that I was going to start grabbing these types of beers. The first one…
Beer Review: Parish Brewing Dr. Juice
On my recent vacation to Florida, I decided to pass on the staple from the beer stores, Parish Brewing’s Ghost in the Machine; instead I grabbed their Dr. Juice Hazy IPA. Was the deviation worth it?

Beer Review: Pipeworks Brewing/Hacienda Beer Co Sundae Sauce

Beer Review: Main & Mill’s Rocco Gets His Chance
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Main & Mill Brewing Co., but haven’t had a chance to try anything. Well, this is my chance (sorry, not sorry). I’d seen Rocco Gets His Chance on various St. Louis Beer Facebook Groups and was drawn into the can. Luckily, I was able to get ahold…

Beer Review: Schlafly Tropical Saison
Schlafly, the brewery that started the Missouri craft beer revolution, recent re-released their Tropical Saison.

Beer Review: Good News IPA
As part of my renewed writing schedule, I wanted to focus on some local beer in this time of social distancing. I’m trying to support as much local as possible. One of my favorite area breweries is Good News Brewing. I interviewed Dan and Matt a couple of years ago (and I need to get…
Beer Review: Maplewood Brewing Son of Juice
In my quest to try as many New England and Milkshake IPAs before brewing my own, I heard about Maplewood Brewery and their amazing IPAs.

Beer Review: Brewery Ommegang/Boulevard’s Bigger and Bretter
