We’ve made a couple recent trips to the Sacramento area and visited 6 breweries. Here’s a rundown on what to expect at each one. Sudwerk (Folsom & Davis) Sudwerk is somewhat unique among California breweries in that they mostly stick to traditional German styles. You probably won’t find a triple IPA or a sour here. Both…
Well, alrighty then. Oh…OK, hmmmm. So, yeah this week we’re going with Half Acre’s Big Hugs Imperial Stout. The art work is by @Phineas A.K.A. Phineas X. Jones. It would seem he is a rather strange fellow. Half Acre is a small brewery in Chicago. Phineas has done a number of labels for Half Acre…
This morning, after Clayton Kershaw dominated yesterday in the Dodgers win of game 1 of the National League Division Series, I get this email from my Dad: I don’t know how to give you this news but here goes….you’re related to Clayton Kershaw!! Oh yeah, and it gets worse…all of our Kansas cousins are rooting…
Now that those silly play-in games and wildcards have wrapped up we are into the real MLB postseason. Let’s go over who I would like to win and how I think it will actually go down. Of course neither will be accurate because the MLB postseason is totally unpredictable. Certainly no one thought the Giants…
Jester King has a whole lineup of great beer labels from artist Josh Cockrell. Jester King is a small brewery in Texas that makes some unique farmhouse brews. They’re small enough that they don’t distribute much outside of Texas. I’ve never had their beer but I heard about them on an episode of The Brewing…
On October 19th Sierra Nevada is hosting its inaugural Single, Fresh, Wet & Wild Harvest Festival in their hop field in Chico. Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. has invited over 50 breweries from across the country to join us in our estate hop field at our brewery in Chico, CA, for the inaugural Single, Fresh, Wet…
3 Floyds is a small brewery in Indiana that has a dark supernatural fantasy theme to its beer labels. One of their most popular brews, and my favorite of their awesome labels, is Zombie Dust. I managed to try Zombie Dust on a recent trip to Indiana and it is very tasty, with huge hops…
We’re growing some cascade hops to homebrew with and our two year old daughter Olivia helped us pick this year’s harvest.
It’s here. The day we’ve been waiting for since we picked our first Beer Label of the Week. Sierra Nevada has released their new seasonal, Flipside Red IPA. I’m sure a release party at Sierra Nevada’s pub in Chico is forthcoming but Flipside hit the shelves of their gift shop today and we scampered over…
I actually wish Brian Wilson the best. He was an awesome Giant. One of the best relief pitchers to ever wear the uniform, and always entertaining. I was always a fan. But he’s a Dodger now so it’s hard to pass something like this up. Here are my half-assed attempts, tweeted with a #beatla of…
