I havn't seen much of Blackwater Draw in Houston and I had never tried Contract Killer until a unexpected trip out of town thanks to Hurricane Harvey. Luckily enough for my family and I we took a weekend trip to Austin to get out of the path of Hurricane Harvey. We ended up staying out of town until Wednesday when it was finally clear enough to make the trip home. We cooked dinner for our friends who hosted us during this week long extended stay. while at...
Warimono poured a clear golden color. There was little to no head and only minimal carbonation after the pour, but it packed a strong aroma of bubble gum, peppercorns, and Belgian yeast spice. The 9.2% ABV makes itself known with a...
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. ...
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...
I bought it to share with some friends over at Tam's, but you can see why it might not have been the best option for the BMC squad. I didn't share after all, but the...
There are dozens of macro comparisons here, so I really want to make this one count. One of my good friends is a devout drinker of Dos Equis, and despite me trying again and again to convert him, he's steadfast. I really wanted to try Border Town Lager for him. It reminds me more of a...
Fancy Sauce IPA pours a slightly dark golden colored body with a single finger worth of white head that quickly disappeared. Lacing is heavy all the way down the glass. with a real clean, crisp mouth feel....
NRB Kadigan Blonde is a pretty good beer. As a rule, I don't care much for blondes because they're low in flavor and don't lend themselves to much creativity as a style. That's not to say all blondes are bad, but they're just far from...
Marlinspike, as well as the other can labels from New Republic, are so clean, but just kind of busy in my opinion. Marlinspike may be the least busy of the lineup though and has one of the better color combinations. A cream colored...
Saint Nipplaus has been stuck in my mind for the last three years as one of my favorite beers of all time. I called them that next year begging to know when it would be out again, but they said they weren’t sure if they were going to make it again...
Skylight was a sweet, vanilla and banana dream. If a Longhorn fan will rep this beer made by Aggies in Aggieland, it must be worthwhile. Skylight adds another layer of complexity to...
