A review of Cerveza Delray from Brew Detroit – Detroit, MichiganMexican Lagers, for a long time this was a style of beer that I was hesitant to try.  It seemed that the style really had two flavor profiles to offer, either salty lime water with fizz or clear bottled fizzy Corona with a lime jammed in it,oh and more fizz.  In the last year or two my tastes have changed, I transitioned from a guy who wanted to obliterate my palate with hops every chance…

We live in a great time for beer, especially craft beer. In this day and age it seems like every week we are introduced to a new hazy ipa, some sort of tropical fruit infused beer, or super limited top shelf barrel aged release.  While all of those have their merits sometimes you want to kick back, put a football game on and throw back a few brews the way your old man might have. Luckily Wolverine State Brewing Company in Ann Arbor Michigan and…

Wolverine State Brewing, located in Ann Arbor Michigan My buddy, Renee from Ypsilanti, wrote a review on Ann Arbor’s Wolverine State Brewing Co.  A few weeks ago, Mark from my ‘hood cracked open a bottle of Massacre Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Dark Lager that floored me with its rich intensity.  During a family gathering two weeks ago, my nephew Ryan (young kid, fresh liver) mentioned that we were overdue to meet at Wolverine’s Tap Room after work.  The last straw was John Fahrner, who mentioned that…

Featured Contributor Matt  @SportsNCraftBeer The 12-pack “Brewer’s Lunch Box,”  from Fort Collins Brewery,  includes five varieties of session beers. Anyone that has read my previous posts knows I have an affinity for the breweries located in Fort Collins, both because of the quality of beer they produce (I argue), and because that is the place where I transformed from “beer fan” to “beer snob.” Beers range from common to “out of the ordinary,” such as the pomegranate wheat beer. Sample packs commonly have a few…

Featured Contributor:  Rick Fenwick  Rick@fenwickkoller.com Drinking craft brew is fun. Part of the fun is seeing the creativity of the brewers with the names, labels, and even ingredients. When I drink a craft beer, I like to see the bottle and the label. I also like to read the story that comes with the beer. It is all part of the fun. When I think of Tennessee, the first association with food and beverages that comes to mind is Tennessee whiskey, like Jack Daniels. The…

Yuengling Traditional Lager Beer Review Yuengling Traditional Lager is a beer that I was introduced to on a vacation.  A buddy of mine told me that he found a beer that was not only really enjoyable and flavorful but also totally affordable.  To be honest I went into trying this beer feeling kind of skeptical about it, surely a craft lager that comes in a 12 pack costing only $10 would let me down right? Far from it, in fact the beer is so enjoyable…

Featured Contributor @BeerBallyhoo These days there are plenty of perfectly respectable breweries who will slap an “Oktoberfest” label on pretty much any old bottle of amber ale; unfortunately, they are missing the point entirely. A true Märzen is a lager, traditionally brewed sometime in (you guessed it) March, then enjoyed, once it’s been properly aged and settled, in (you guessed it again) October. The brand-spankin-new Märzen from Switchback Brewing Co. is not one of those falsified ales. It’s a true lager: slowly fermented in multiple stages,…
