Brewery Focus: Bell's Expedition Stout, Kalamazoo, MI, USA
Posted by on Tuesday, July 17, 2007 in - 7 comments
I like this Brewery Focus thing. The last one, Scotland's Isle of Skye Brewing, isn't done and yet I can start another. Why? Because a pal went to Michigan for work [Ed.: (later) he has revealed himself in the comments.] and all of a sudden, realizing the implications, we made calls to his cell …

After an evening of bottling hefeweizen, time for something without notes of pineapple, banana, cloves and white pepper.

Respect Your Hefeweizen

Like Stonch, I have been adding to my relationship with beer through running a nano-brewery in the kitchen. While I have no beer cam (yet), it's great fun as brewing gets you close to the ingredients and give you some insights into what craft brewers are doing and doing for you. • So I ordered a …

That is the dream, right? Well they are living the dream in the land of my forefathers on the island of Colonsay off western Scotland according to this report from last month in the BBC: • “The brewery was officially opened by islander Dougie McGilvray, 98, at a ceremony attended by about half … read more »
Belgian Ommegangs

Gary popped up north last weekend and was good enough to bring me a few quarts of Ommegang and Hennepin. Other than trading one for venison (how Canuck of me), we noticed that the label said "Product of Belgium." I figured I had been a dope and missed the point that all along none of it was …

Attentive readers will know I have not enjoyed Cantillon's sour beers but that I do love Finger Lake Beverages in Ithaca, NY. Well, I am down here again and will load up tomorrow for the spring's tastings and noticed yesterday that FLB has a good range of these sour things in stock. • Which - if …
The Week Of Schloss Eggenberg

I feel so cheap using a photo with a flash. Where has my style gone? Couldn't I have lined these up in a snow drift or something? Anyway, this was the second set of brews forwarded for review by importers Roland and Russell. The first review bottles, four from O'Hanlon's was a real treat, so I … read more »
