A This Week in Beer Trifecta

April 28, 2011 in Cryptic Review, Stewart Recommends, Tricia's Thoughts, Video

I don’t know if this has happened before, and I’m not sure the the internet can handle it.  But here we have Tricia’s Thoughts, Stewart Recommends, and a Cryptic Review all in one post.  This time we have a selection of beers in this post.  We have Tricia with one from Kuhnhenn, Paul with a newcomer to Thisweekinbeer from Lilly’s Seafood, and my own thoughts on a nice selection from Short’s.  I think we may be getting to the end of our Winter Beerfest footage too, so we will try to get some more relevant summer beers for you here.  Enjoy!

April 21, 2011 in Cryptic Review, Tricia's Thoughts, Video

More videos from the Winter Beerfest.  I really should get the rest of these out since we are now well into spring.  This week we are featuring a beer from another unique Michigan brewery, Jolly Pumpkin.  Here are the views of myself, and Tricia on their, schizophrenically named, Chocolate Pineapple Chipotle Rauch Biere.

Welcome to another exciting edition of “why is this video up late.” Well, I’m not telling.  Instead I am just going to get on to business.  I’ve got a cryptic review for you of a beer from one of my favorite michigan breweries, The Livery’s 5th Dimension.  I have to say, I have never been disappointed by one of their beers, and this one is no exception.  So enjoy this, another cryptic review from the 2011 MBG Winter Beerfest.

Cryptic Review & Tricia’s Thoughts: Grape Expectations by Round Barn Brewery

March 16, 2011 in Cryptic Review, Tricia's Thoughts, Video

First off, I want to say that I totally love the Round Barn Brewery logo.  There, now that that is out of the way, I can bring your attention to one of the first beers we tried at the Beerfest last month.  And also reintroduce you to our friend Tricia, who seems to only show up around here for the festivals right now, but we are working on that.  Anyway, Round Barn Brewery, out of Baroda, Michigan, brought us their Grape Expectations this year.  Click on through to see what Tricia and I thought of it.

Cryptic Review: Anchor Steam Beer

February 9, 2011 in Cryptic Review, Video

Two posts in one week? He must have gone mad! This is not the excessively lazy man we thought we knew.  Perhaps he has been replaced by an evil, albeit more productive, clone.  Perhaps it is not Kristoffer at all that is behind this post, perhaps somone hacked into his account for the nefarious purpose of posting more content.  Perhaps is is him, but he felt guilty for forgetting to post anything last week. Or perhaps he just wanted an excuse to drink more new beers (yeah right, I never need an excuse to drink new beers).  Whatever the reason, just enjoy it, and enjoy this Cryptic review of Anchor Steam Beer, by Anchor Brewing Company.
