» ‎ Drink-a-Pint

Tags: [edit]

It’s a gloomy, wet, cool Friday here in New Jersey and it feels like the weekend (not to mention Summer!) can’t come soon enough. Thankfully, Sam Adams is here to brighten our day with the announcement that their “Beers of Summer” 12 and 24-packs will be available for our drinking needs from May through July. Here’s [...]

» ‎ Drink-a-Pint

Tags: [edit]

I liked the stories, hated the movie, but what about the beer? Yes, you heard that right, it’s time to toss a few back with Rapunzel, Hansel, Gretel and Cinderella with some Brothers Grimm Beer! The Baron Brewing Company in Seattle is introducing a line of six very rare big beers which will be available in [...]

» ‎ Drink-a-Pint

Tags: [edit]

I’m just finishing up a nice 12-pack sampler from Flying Dog that I’ll be posting up reviews from in the next couple of days, but it looks like they’ve got yet another brew I’ll have to try as they just announced a new addition to their “litter of ales” - Kerberos Tripel. As part of the [...]

When Did Every Day Become Cinco de Lime-o?
» ‎ Drink-a-Pint

Tags: [edit]

Did I miss the memo about limes being the new “thing” for beer? I mean, for years and years, the only beer I associated with limes was Corona. And, I was (and still am) ok with that because there’s something about the act of slicing up an actual lime, dropping it in the bottle and [...]

East Meets West: Magic Hat And Pyramid to Merge?
» ‎ Drink-a-Pint

Tags: [edit]

Over the past few months, I’ve become a big fan of Magic Hat and their 12-pack samplers that always seem to hit the spot. Apparently I’m not the only one, as the brewer is doing well enough to gobble up a premier West Coast microbrewery - Pyramid Breweries Inc. Magic Hat Brewing will acquire Pyramid [...]

Beer - A Healthy Part of Your Daily Diet?
» ‎ Drink-a-Pint

Tags: [edit]

Looking for a couple good reasons to crack open a beer after work? Sure, who isn’t! Of course, there’s so many social stigmas to overcome. Drinking on a worknight? Having a beer before 5pm? Sneaking a beer into church? All things that are, unfortunately, generally considered socially unacceptable. (Reasons #242, #243 and #244 to start [...]

Tags: [edit]

Want to experience a slightly uncomfortable moment with your wife or girlfriend? Try this. Take her to an expensive restaurant for her birthday, order an expensive bottle of Japanese beer and then be sure to take a picture of it with your cell phone for your blog. Apparently, that’s not the most romantic thing to [...]

2008 World Beer Cup Winners Announced
» ‎ Drink-a-Pint

Tags: [edit]

The World Beer Cup may be the Grammys or the Oscars of the beer industry, if only for the insane number of categories. We’re talking 91 awards ranging from Best Non-Alcoholic Malt Beverage (Radegast Birell, anyone?) to Best American-Style Wheat Wine Ale (that’d be Rubicon Brewing’s Winter Wheatwine). So, if this were a televised awards [...]

Manayunk Brewery’s Kölsh Blonde & Schuylkill Punch
» ‎ Drink-a-Pint

Tags: [edit]

Without a doubt, Spring is my favorite time of the year. The grass starts to turn a lush green. There’s baseball on the radio. And, of course, there’s outdoor drinking! Yes, there’s nothing like a couple of beers outside to make you feel like you’re really experiencing life. So, with the temperature hovering around 80 yesterday, [...]

There’s a Pale Moon on the Rise
» ‎ Drink-a-Pint

Tags: [edit]

If you thought it was hard choosing between Blue Moon, Harvest Moon, Full Moon and Rising Moon, get ready for the beer-buying process to get a tad tougher as there’ll be a new “moon” on the shelves. At their distributor conference, Coors annouced that they are expanding the Blue Moon family with the addition of a [...]

Top 50 Breweries for 2007
» ‎ Drink-a-Pint

Tags: [edit]

There’s something about lists that just feels right. Maybe it’s how they bring order to a chaotic world? Maybe it’s because everyone likes a winner? Or, maybe it’s because lists are easy to post so I have to type even less than I normally do? No matter what it is, laziness aside, lists help make [...]

Tags: [edit]

I know this is a primarily a blog about drinking beer, but I ran across this and thought it was close enough: BEER CUPCAKES! Haven’t made them yet, but Jessica Armbruster of the Minneapolis/St. Paul City Pages blog dove in headfirst and has some great pictures you should definitely check out. Unlike most baking uses for [...]

Global Warming Could Create Beer Shortage?
» ‎ Drink-a-Pint

Tags: [edit]

I’ll be the first to say that I am a bit of a worrier when it comes to some things, but this is something that never even came close to crossing my mind: “Britain could run out of beer due to global warming, experts said yesterday.” That’s the opening sentence from an article that appeared in [...]

Until this week, if you weren’t within driving distance of one of Pyramid’s Alehouses in Sacramento, Seattle, Portland, Berkeley or Walnut Creek, CA, you were out of luck if you were in the mood for their Crystal Wheat Ale. Well, thou shalt not drive that far for wheat anymore, because you’ll be able to find [...]

The Boston Beer Company (BBC) has announced a voluntary recall of select 12 oz glass bottles of its Samuel Adams beer which may contain small grains or bits of glass.

Arrogant Bastard Ale: Are You Worthy?
» ‎ Drink-a-Pint

Tags: [edit]

It’s always fun when you walk into a liquor store to buy a six-pack of Guinness while you’re wife’s waiting in the car with your three-month old daughter. The moment you step foot in the store, you know the clock’s ticking and your consumer experience is now more akin to a severely-shortened episode of “24″ [...]

Miller Lite Gets “Crafty” as Brewers Collection Goes National
» ‎ Drink-a-Pint

Tags: [edit]

This almost feels like a tree falling in the woods if no one is around to hear it. So, if craft beer is, by definition, meant to be brewed in small batches with limited distribution, what happens when the nation’s second largest brewer takes its best-selling beer and serves it up, craft-style? Can it still really be called a craft beer? Let the debate begin as [...]

What’s Old Is New Again: Say Hello to Schlitz!

It’s been known as “The beer that made Milwaukee famous” as well as a bunch of other things I’ve heard it called throughout college, but now it’s back for more. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back to the stage: Schlitz! Yes, I know what you’re thinking and I’m probably thinking the same thing too, but let’s [...]

Tags: [edit]

The St. Louis-Dispatch is reporting that Anheuser-Busch is spinning Michelob Brewing Company off as its own unit, giving them more autonomy and creative license to introduce new beers.

Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale
» ‎ Drink-a-Pint

Tags: [edit]

I’m a big fan of everything pumpkin: pumpkin spice lattes at Starbucks, pumpkin bread from Trader Joe’s and, my favorite, Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale. In fact, after the first time I had it, I made my wife go with me on an all-day tour of every liquor store in the area searching for a case to buy. (She [...]

Prices May Soon Be Hopping for Craft Beer
» ‎ Drink-a-Pint

Tags: [edit]

I’ve been reading dribs and drabs about the hops shortage for months, but it looks like the story could be getting bigger as the demand for craft beer continues to increase while supplies are reportedly at a low not seen since the 19th century. For the uninitiated, you need four things to make beer: water, malted barley, [...]

A Beer a Day May Be Good For Your Heart, Bad for Your Memory
» ‎ Drink-a-Pint

Tags: [edit]

This sort of feels like a rum and coke, a bit of an upper and a downer. First, the good news: A study from the University of California-Davis, found small amounts of beer helped men and women decrease their risk of heart attack and stroke by nearly 40 percent. The reason? Like red wine, small amounts [...]

Pizza and beer taste great together, but what about pizza beer? If you’re in the Illinois area and feeling a little adventurous, you can find out for yourself with Tom Seefurth’s Mamma Mia Pizza Beer. And, believe it or not, there are actually real pieces of pizza stirred into the mix. The home-brewed beer begins with [...]
