It was just a mere six months ago that I decided to proverbially dip my toe into the water and purchase a small craft beer kit that would produce 2 gallons of India Pale Ale; a brew style that I believe to be advanced and is intimidating in itself. The kit was purchased not at a home brew store, but on the for sale aisle of...
I know I know this review isn't breaking news that Houston Haze is the bomb. What impresses here is the consistency of the beer. The mouth is super soft and has only improved. The citrus just explodes in your mouth while the bitter remains very low on the back end....
The Baa Baa Eclipse Teku glass seemed like a bigger deal than the beer! The moral of the story here is, Baa Baa's small. Real small. Chill out. Or don't...
Blue Testament features a black, white, and red can that sets itself apart from the rest of the beers on the shelves. Due to how different it is, somebody could mistake it for...
Before me lies the Brazos Valley “Angel” and all her beauty! I last wrote about this enchanting character several months back and how this series would be a staple on which this brewery would thrive on. I am proud to say that...
My first time trying Kadigan blonde was at New Republic Brewing Co's taproom in college station. I didn't go there for Kadigan but where else do you start? Blondes are the equivalent of dipping your toes in the water before you jump in. Very solid beer, perfect for a weekend afternoon beer! I feel like Blondes and Pilsners get overlooked and are even a little under appreciated! I know I'm guilty of it. ...
Unless you're trading for it, I'm pretty sure Baa Baa in a Galaxy Far Far Away is gone already, but for the sake of cataloging it incase it comes back...
Southern Star Oktoberfest tastes of cereal grains, toasted bread, caramel, and a touch of coriander and clove. It veers towards a malty sweetness that is overall balanced, but manages to finish with a slight warming sensation, compliments of it's higher ABV for the style....
You're almost done (boxing up that is)! Arranging the beers in the box is the part where Amber is truly amazing. Geometry comes into play here. You have to arrange the beers just right so the box is tight and the beers don't move around. ...
Lame Duck pours a medium amber color, with the perfect amount of head. In the recent haze craze, anything amber that you can see through is sometimes dismissed. The color isn't too clear, which sometimes indicates a thin watery beer. Your nose can't miss the citrus fire that exudes after pouring....
The label says Lenin's Revenge is "as thick and black as your capitalist blood." I will agree that Lenin's Revenge is a pitch black stout, but the mouthfeel was not as heavy as you'd be led to believe. Does it know something about...
Ennie Meenie miney mo catch a beer by the toe! Maybe nursery rhymes aren't your thing but I bet Meenie by Baa Baa Brewhouse will change your tune!...
B52 Upgrayedd smells of grapefruits, and pineapples from the dry hopping and a tiny little alcohol note plays the background. The aromas are ppowerful and ppleasant - two P's for a double dose of aroma. It tastes...
Y'all ever get that itch to bake? You know the one, where you have an insatiable desire to craft something sweet, delicious, and oh so fattening? The Pumpkin Porter Spice Cake with Cream Ale Cream Cheese frosting fits the bill to satisfy all your...
BAKFISH I Tell You Wit pours beautifully with a finger of thick, froathy white head. It resembles a cloudier glass of freshly squeezed orange juice that sips incredibly smoothe, with a light body and moderate carbonation. Bold flavors of sweet orange and spicy coriander devour the palette in a delightful balance that veers toward...
Spindletap Juiceston pours an orange hazy color with a good amount of head that is typical of Double IPA's. The lacing is there but minimal. The aroma is killer on this one people. You get a tropical aroma that is heavenly. I definitely pick up some guava on the nose as well as citrus flavors....
Blueberry Blonde isn't just for the beach and it's not just for outside. I've been avoiding going outside as much as I can this summer unless it's toward the evening. So I popped open...
SpindleTap Hops Drop beats down your throat knocking pictures off the wall, and it all starts with a smooth, sweet fruit-punch flavor followed by subtle bitterness and the aforementioned subtly-piny, fruity...
Identity, style, and flash are well checked when it comes to Back Pew Brewing. These guys have a mentality that basically proclaims “Here’s our beer. If you don’t like it, then move the (expletive) on.” This is where there two main genres come on; Saints and Sinners...
After a bit of digging, asking, and a few vague responses, we got the news straight from the horse's mouth. You may have been keeping up with this story that started with our last post. We were originally trying to shut down the rumor mill, but that's real hard when the rumors are...
