Must...get...through...the...Belgians... • It is a tough old job but someone has to do it. I picked up these two from the Trappist Monestary of Westmalle Belgium separately, the dubbel to the right at Finger Lake Beverage Center in Ithaca, NY and the tripel to the left at the good old Bath Road …

I picked on of these up a few trips ago. We have visited Cooperstown Brewing Co. which is not in Cooperstown but at a very nice depot next to the operating tourist railway line in the slightly less baseball crazed neighbouring community of Milford. I have liked and not so liked their brews but …
New York: Middle Ages Brewing Co., Syracuse

Thou mayest click on for greater illumination • I have to say that I have really enjoyed everything I have had by the Middle Ages Brewing Co. of Syracuse NY from trips to pubs and the odd beer I have brought back. But last time I was in a central New York beer shop I realized that there is more …
Two From Youngs, London, England
Posted by on Thursday, November 17, 2005 in - 2 comments
I do not appear to have provided much by the way of information about Young's. Just Dirty Dick's and their Double Chocolate Stout - and even that last one was just the barest note. How sad. • Young's are a local brewer in London that has done very well in the export market. Not that long ago … read more »

Last June I reviewed an XP Pale Ale from Bear Republic of Healdsburg, California and was mightily impressed. The trade paper...or brewspaper...Celebrator Beer News reported on a visit to Bear Republic in its June 2005 issue and mentioned the brewmasters other interests: • “Norgrove is not only …
Garrison Brewing Company, Nova Scotia, Canada

I'm a fan of Halifax's Garrison Brewing Company and will often order their product when I'm at a restaurant or at the local beer seller. Garrison arrived on the Halifax brewing scene in 1997 which was really a watershed year for local breweryana, with Propeller Brewing Company and the Maritime … read more »
Weyerbacher Brewing Company, Easton, PA, USA

I did not see their Imperial Raspberry Stout - just the Old Heathen Imperial Stout and the Imperial Pumpkin Ale. You know, this use of the old "imperial" adjective is all the rage in the US craft brewing trade. It originally meant a honking big stout and was roughly to porter what barley wine was …
India Ale, Samuel Smith Old Brewery, North Yorkshire, England

...which photo sucks less...hmmm... • Somedays I can't get a good photo of a beer for love or money. I have about 30 bad shots of this fussy dark label and finally I thought - to heck with it. I can't be driven by your incessant demands for more and better beer-based photographic art. So there …
Vermont: Magic Hat Brewing, South Burlington
Posted by on Saturday, October 22, 2005 in - 7 comments
Magic Hat is one of those breweries whose stuff I like but when it comes around to doing a review folks come over and drink all the beers I have and there is nothing left to review. So I have only reviewed one to date - Revell porter out of the winter 12 pack. This time it will be different. I am …
