New York, Pennsylvania, Colorado, New York, California, Oregon • Once again, this time in lighter tones. I found the six darks a bit hefty for a heat wave but here we have again a range in a style: a pale ale or three, a bitter, a India Pale Ale and a Double India Pale Ale. It is like collecting …

Washington, Vermont, New York, Oregon, • Pennsylvania and California • Life is tough. Life needs little projects. I found all of these lovery little brown bottles at the excellent Finger Lakes Beverage Center in Ithaca, NY and was able to buy singles of each - though the Southern Tier Porter …

I found this at Galeville about a month ago. At $6.99 USD or $8.74 CND for a 22 oz bottle it is one of the more expensive brews you can buy but I think it is good value. On this visit, I actually escaped the clutches of customs additional 37% solely through the kindness of a guard who obviously …

Good use of a sideboard - click the images • A real surprise was in store when I hit the LCBO the other day preparing for a dinner party on a stinking hot summer Saturday. They had actually brought in a bunch of extra hefeweizens, southern German wheat ales with a measure of yeast left in …

People email me. They ask if they can post something to the beer blog. I generally say "Sure!" and then I never hear from them again. I was really looking forward to that Italian writer who knew all the Czech beers. If he is reading this - WHAT'S TAKING YOU?!? • Anyway, kind correspondent Gary … read more »

I say from time to that I do not like lagers but what I am really saying is that I do not like the mass marketed insipid pilsners generally passed off as beer by BulkCo's A, B and C. Lager or rather lagering is really just a reference to a period of cold storage, a central European technique from …

Three Whites from Quebec

It's hard to beat a cold white beer on a warm and sunny late afternoon -- the clean, somewhat yeasty flavor and the snow-white lacy head of a good white makes the long day at the office worth the wait. • Here in Quebec, Blanche de Chambly is perhaps the best known of the local white beers, and …

...perhaps one of the best IPAs in America... • We were this close to staying at a hotel between the Dogfish Head Brewery and the beach at Lewes, Delaware...this close...then I bailed on the great southern credit card run and opted for the nearer north-east of New England.

What will fundamentalist beer lovers • do next year? • I popped into the Galeville Grocery this afternoon and picked up, in my usual mad scramble to drop $100.00 US in about 5 minutes, a bottle of this fine beverage. I have loved every Stone product I have tried. And it looks like I still have …
