Speakeasy Prohibition Ale

Sitting down to watch Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Beautiful night. Sunny and temps in the upper 70s. Can’t ask for better New England weather. Especially given that it rained for the entire month of June. The 6.1% ABV Speakeasy … Continue reading

Saranac Pale Ale vs Shipyard Chamberlain Pale Ale – The Showdown

Last night was cleaning night. Vacuuming, cleaning toilets…the whole nine yards. I wasn’t feeling sexy afterward, thus no review. Tonight is a different story. Played PS3 for 2 hours, and now sitting down with a plate of spaghetti to watch … Continue reading

I basically took the long 4th July weekend off from beer reviews. I did NOT abstain from beer. In fact I had some beers that I haven’t even reviewed yet. When I’m “off duty”, I don’t try to review. Monday … Continue reading
