I recently received a load of beer from in-laws in Milwaukee; they tracked down a few I was looking for, and threw PseudoSue in based off the recommendation of the beer shop guy. It’s an American Pale Ale by Toppling Goliath Brewing Company in Iowa. Instantly I was drew into the cool label and the…
This past weekend, my wife and I were walking around downtown St. Louis when I realized we were close to the 4 Hands Brewery. We decided to stop in, take the tour, and sample a couple of beers. The tours are free and they recommend you grab a pint when walking through the brewery. Our…

While checking out a local liquor store, I found the retired 105.7 The Point 21st Birthday Brew from Six Row Brewing. The brewery recently shut down, but is looking to re-open in a new location. I took a chance on this beer, as it’s over a year old (but I listen to the Point almost…
One of my recent style kicks has been Saisons. After asking around for a good one, I decided to follow the advice of a few people and checkout Boulevard Brewings Saison-Brett (2015). The dry hopped, bottle conditioned beer was aged for 3 months prior to release. The difference between a Brett and regular Saison is…

One of my favorite breweries is Stone Brewing Company out California. They have a lot of special releases that make it all the way to the St. Louis area. One of the latest was their 18th Anniversary IPA, an Imperial India Pale Ale; how does it stack up to their other IPA offerings? Offering: 22…

I wish you could look hard enough at liquor stores around St. Louis to find a few beers by Three Floyds Brewing Company, an Indiana brewery. They make some really good beers, especially Zombie Dust, an American Pale Ale. The beer has an ABV of 6.2%. The problem is the beer is very hard to…
Down the street from Avery Brewing in Boulder, Colorado is the smaller Asher Brewing. The brewery is in a smaller strip, but is easy to find as they have seating out front. The brewery is 100% organic, from ingredients to operating on wind power. They do have free tours, but this was an impromptu stop….
On a recent trip to Colorado, I set a goal to try as much new beer as possible; Colorado is prime beer country and they had a lot to offer. We were making a short stop in Boulder, so I made it a point to hit the Avery Brewing Company. The brewery has been opened…
