It's the first Friday of April, so it's time for The Session — a monthly event that brings beer fans together to share their thoughts on a specified theme. This month's theme is Beer People. Now, I don't know too many people in the industry well enough to pen a…
It's the first Friday of March, so it's time for The Session — a monthly event that brings beer fans together to share their thoughts on a specified theme. This month's theme is Organic Beer. Honestly, I can't tell you if I've ever had an organic, or rather certified organic,…
It's the first Friday of February and you all know what that means. It's time for The Session — a monthly event that brings beer fans together to share their thoughts on a specified theme. This month's theme is all about the Barleywines. Now originally I had wanted to partake…
It looks like I am going to have to skip on this month's Session — a monthly event that brings beer fans together to share their thoughts on a specified theme. Work has been hectic (a good thing) and I haven't had much time to get out and look for…
It's the first Friday of December and that can only mean one thing. It's time for The Session — a monthly event that brings beer fans together to share their thoughts on a specified theme. This month's theme couldn't have come at a better time for me. For the past…

For this month's Session, I needed to find a beer that had been brewed with or augmented by fruit. As some of you know, I'm not the biggest fruit beer fan. Quite honestly, I have been dreading this day since its announcement. But for the sake of holding true to…
This month's Session is a bit of a departure from the previous four. Instead of reviewing a style of beer or a brewery, we have been tasked with describing our ideal session environment. There's No Place Like Home As cheesy as it sounds, more and more, I find myself looking…
