Dogfish Head My Antonia
My Antonia was originally brewed as a one-off with Italian brewer Birra del Borgo back in 2008 and only available in the U.S. in extremely limited quantities. Thankfully, in 2010, Dogfish Head decided to start brewing this continually hopped Imperial Pilsner in the states which resulted in a much large distribution. As a continually hopped [...]

Harpoon Leviathan Quad
Awesome! It wasn’t long after I posted a review for Harpoon’s Leviathan Barleywine that I soon came upon one of the other releases from the series. This Belgian Quadrupel styled brew is the bigger of the three beers from the Leviathan releases that I’ve had so far — and in that regard the most raw. [...]

Anchor Bock Beer
I’m a huge fan of Anchor Brewing. I routinely squirrel away their winter seasonal, “Our Special Ale” and keep their Liberty and Steam beers high on my list of Summer favorites. Would their Spring seasonal, that I was only for the first time seeing on shelves at my local shop, take a seat next to [...]

Victory Headwaters Pale Ale
Pennsylvania-based Victory Brewing is one of those companies that just feels more local than they really are — despite the couple of states that separate the brewery and myself. As such, I tend to drink a good variety of their products in order to support them. That means that whenever I see a new beer [...]

Flying Fish Exit 4
I’ve only had one other beer our of Flying Fish’s Exit Series. Their Exit 1 was a unique stout that I liked a good deal. Exit 4 is the inaugural beer released in the series, but this is the first that I’d seen it anywhere around town. This American take on a Belgian Tripel is [...]

DuClaw Brewing Devil’s Milk
I’ve had Dragon’s Milk (from New Holland Brewing — I cannot believe I haven’t reviewed it on the site yet) on numerous occasions. I’ve even drunk from the “Horn of the Devil”, but this is the first time I’ve enjoyed the milk of that charred bad boy. DuClaw Brewing releases Devil’s Milk as it’s Fall [...]

Odell Brewing Double Pilsner
This is a review of a promotional sample received from the brewery. Odell Brewing Company, Colorado’s second ever craft brewery, is one of those companies that I hear a number of good things about, but have never had the opportunity to try any of their products. Whether from their year-round offerings to their limited release [...]

Full Sail Bump in the Night
A dark, dark IPA I had heard of this Black IPA from Full Sail Brewing prior to picking it up a couple of weeks ago, but when I saw it on the shelf, my immediate response to the name was, “Ooh, what a great name for an Imperial Stout.” But, alas, this is brew is [...]

Port City Porter
Dark and roasty. While Port City Brewing’s Monumental IPA may be more seasonally appropriate, I’m a sucker for a dark, roasty porter any time of year. This is the second offering from the company that I’ve been able to find at my local shop and, had I enjoyed it this past Winter, I might favor [...]

Port City Monumental IPA
Relaxing outside with a tasty IPA. I happened across a couple of offerings from Alexandria, VA based Port City Brewing the other week while perusing the shelves at Cork & Fork in Gainesville. Not only was I surprised to learn that the beers were local, but I also got to carry my purchase home in [...]
