Beer Label of the Week will be a regular feature. We’ll pick an interesting craft beer label each week. It will be entirely based on the beer’s label, not the quality of the beer. We’ll stick with “craft beer” labels though…you have to have standards you know. This week we feature the just announced Flipside…
Clearly I’m not the only person to think of creating a list of favorite IPAs. I rounded up ten such lists, with mine at the top of course since it’s the best and all: IPADay 2013: Completely Objective List of the 10 Best IPAs 8 Portland Area IPAs You Should Be Drinking Top 10 Best…
OK, just kidding. This is obviously very subjective and I had a really hard time narrowing the list down to ten IPAs. Even within one beer style tastes vary wildly. Throw in Imperial IPAs, Black IPAs, etc. and it gets even crazier. My list is fairly California centric since I live in California and don’t…
My wife, Stephanie, and I shared a bottle of Terra Incognita. This is Sierra Nevada and Boulevard’s latest collaboration. They originally made this beer for SAVOR in 2012. They’ve gotten back to together to create this bottled version. Earlier this year, Sierra Nevada Head Brewer Steve Dresler and Boulevard Brewmaster Steven Pauwels met in Kansas…
A few pages from a Chinese book titled “Learn to be a Good Child” After playing with the duckling, she plays with the doll. “The doll is laughing at me because I’m snotty. I must wipe my nose with a handkerchief at once.” Bibi is very fond of playing. He doesn’t go to the toilet…
Ninkasi’s Maiden the Shade is a limited release summer IPA. I haven’t actually had this beer but the label is really interesting. The artwork is by Jerry Garcia‘s daughter Annabelle Garcia. Annabelle also did the artwork for Ninkasi’s Lady of Avalon. The Maiden the Shade label depicts a woman with glowing blue eyes kneeling beneath…
I assumed Mountain Boogers were a universal concept. Every time I travel to the mountains I get way more boogers than usual. Easily ten fold my normal booger production. When I went searching for their cause I discovered I was wrong. I could find very little information on the term “mountain boogers,” let alone their…
The 2013 MLB All Star starters have been announced so lets follow up on the 2012 post and see how this year stacks up. I compared the 2013 All Star starters to their potential replacements based on Wins Above Replacement (WAR) for the first half of the 2013 season. NL Starter NL WAR NL WAR…
2013 MLB All Star voting is upon us and before the results are in and the rosters are set I thought I would look back at last year and see how optimal the starting lineups were. I compared the 2012 All Star starters to their potential replacements based on Wins Above Replacement for the first half…
Stone Brewing has very strong branding starting with the gargoyles created by Tom Matthews. Now an author Tom has moved on from Stone but his work still influences Stone’s attention grabbing art work. Tom had this to say in The Craft of Stone Brewing Co: Every artist has his swan song. Da Vinci has the Mona…
