A gallery of some of the photos from my untappd profile. It turns out I’m partial to Sierra Nevada.

Three Heads Brewing is from Rochester NY, and they have a lineup of great labels. Those are just a few. Their web site isn’t the best for viewing the label art but check out a Google Image search for Three Heads Brewing. Lots of good stuff there. My favorite of their labels is the Bromigo…

Rogue Brewery, Dead Guy Ale. This is one of the most popular, and higher priced beers in the great state of Oregon. Until now it is one I have not tried. However for the sake of doing this inaugural post I reached deep down into my pocket and shelled out the twelve dollars and bought…

Most of Fountain Square Brewery‘s bottles have a consistent label design with a periodic table symbol, the beer style clearly shown with the same font, and some pleasing artwork. All of them look really nice and it makes for consistent branding, but my favorite of their labels is Soul Ride’s, which diverges from this norm.…

As I noted at the bottom of the page, the Beer Camp random beer generator got a larger response than I anticipated. Originally the submissions were being sent directly to Sierra Nevada, but in an effort to not annoy them too badly submissions are now going to me first. I’ll forward along the better ones…

Here’s how they describe this tour: Saddle up for an intimate, 3-hour tour into the depths of what makes Sierra Nevada tick. Really, this is leave-a-trail-of-bread-crumbs detailed, so we’re keeping groups small (5 new best friends for you!) and the experience…

Gigantic Brewing is one of many small breweries in Portland Oregon, but they help set themselves apart with their fantastic labels. I’ve never had any of their beers so I’ll have to take their word on their claim of making “the best damn IPA in Portland.” The label for their Gigantic IPA isn’t bad but I…

I have recently embarked on a beer nerd adventure, a rather sedate adventure, but it’s exciting to me. I am creating a “beer education binder” for my fellow bartenders at work. Perhaps adventure is the wrong word. This process has been fun and thus far rewarding for me. The binder includes “one sheets” on each…
