Port Brewing Company: Hop 15. 22oz bottle poured into a pint glass This is a good and hoppy double IPA from Pizza Port, one of my favorite brewpubs. While I can’t make the drive up the coast to eat pizza and drink beer anymore, luckily I can find one or two of their beers at... »

Oskar Blues: Gordon. 12oz Can poured into a pint glass Described as somewhere between an Imperial Red Ale and a Double IPA I had no idea what to expect going into this beer. It was also my first times tasting a beer from Oskar Blues, and quite possibly my first craft brew from a can.... »

Four Corners Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo isn’t a Mexican national holiday, most people in Mexico don’t celebrate it at all. It’s most widely celebrated in the state of Puebla where the Mexicans defeated the French on May 5th, 1862. It’s a much more widely celebrated holiday here in the United States.

Carver Brewing Co’s Monkey Wrenched IPA

Monkey Wrenched I.P.A. according to Carver Brewing Co’s website is “An over the top hopped I.P.A.”. The beer alone sounds good, but the story behind it makes it all the more special.
