As we sit on the eve of St. Patrick’s Day, I thought it would be good idea to lay out all of your Irish beer options so you aren’t stuck like so many unfortunate souls who will be drinking green Bud Light tomorrow. The Irish are best known for their stout. Most beer aficionados in [...]

Every year at this time, craft brewers start releasing their “Holiday” beers. All to often, these beers are over-spiced and almost undrinkable. Filled with things such as mint, spruce, pine, and nutmeg, holiday beers are often more akin to drinking a liquefied Christmas candle than they are a beer. But with the help of a [...]

I thought it only fitting that my first entry be about Guinness.  It is, after all, the drink that opened my eyes and got me into beer in the first place.  I actually owe it all to a bartender named Jason at the Madhatter Pub, in Blackrock, Ireland.  Upon my trying to order a Smithwick’s, [...]
