This Week in Beer

Even though we weren’t able to run our live show from Crunchy’s Oktoberfest last week, I was still able to shoot some footage.  So below you can check out my Cryptic Review of MBC Rye Bock.  I also am pleased to announce an addition to our lineup, Tricia will be adding the views of someone who doesn’t drink microbrews regularly.  She can be someone that our less experienced viewers out there may be able to relate to better than beersnobs like Paul and myself.  Though soon i’m sure she will become one of us too. Muhahaha.

anyhoo, here you go.

I’m not going to be posting a video this week because we are getting ready for our first live show tonight.  You can all check it out at live.thisweekinbeer.com around 8ish tonight (5ish Pacific). of course if you are in the East Lansing area, you can come out to Crunchy’s for their oktoberfest (more info here) and spend the evening with us sampling beers from your favorite area breweries.

Sorry everyone, looks like unforseen events have occurred and we can’t run the show tonight.  Sorry. next time.

We have just opened up the official This Week in Beer Store!  you can head on over and pick up all of your This Week in Beer gear.  We have shirts, hats, mugs, and more.  Please support your favorite Microbrew webshow.  They make great gifts.

ok, lets start with explaining what this “cryptic review” thing is.  I will try a new beer for the first time and will tell you what it tastes like. But I’m not going to make it easy.  You may think i am just making up gibberish, but i assure you, what I am describe describes the taste, or at least what the taste makes me think of.  And i guess as a hint i will add a stamp at the end that will rate it on my 2 point scale.

So here it is, My review of Atwater Block Brewery’s Vanilla Java Porter

This week Paul sat down at Crunchy’s and talked beer with Kim Kowalski of Mount Pleasant Brewing Company and Mountain Town Station.
