Journey to Beer Enlightenment. Craft Beer Education, News, and Reviews. Raquo; The Rise of the Cans. The Rise of the Cans. July 9, 2013. Anyone following the trends of craft beer has certainly noticed the rise and overall acceptance of canned beer. I’ll be the first to admit I didn’t see myself, or the majority of beer drinkers for that matter, accepting a canned beer. Who could blame us? 8221; Why cans? 21st Amendment is another brewery dedicating their craft to the can, and we’ve already seen Six...

Journey to Beer Enlightenment. Craft Beer Education, News, and Reviews. Raquo; A Craft Beer Guide to the Upper East Side. A Craft Beer Guide to the Upper East Side. June 5, 2014. Let’s begin this tour with my local shop. Considering this store is only two blocks and an avenue away, I haven’t found a reason to search for other beer stores in the area. Convenience is king when you’re forced to carry heavy loads of beer back to the apartment. City Swiggers. Anyone stuck above 60th knows this is one of the f...

Journey to Beer Enlightenment. Craft Beer Education, News, and Reviews. Raquo; Beer Styles 101. A German version of Brown Ale with subtle hop bitterness mixed with toasty/caramel/nutty flavors. Its long conditioning makes it smooth and light. A very vague style because it refers to color, but expect a focus on malts rather than hops. Hop bitterness varies. Irish Reds are very tea-like. Belgium beer that is rich in malt. It is sweet and mixes in spices and sometimes fruit. Hop bitterness is mild a...Germa...

Journey to Beer Enlightenment. Craft Beer Education, News, and Reviews. Raquo; Beer Batter Pancakes: The Experiment Continues. Beer Batter Pancakes: The Experiment Continues. September 12, 2012. Not too long ago I wrote, unknowingly, one of my most popular posts to date, Beer Batter Pancakes: The Ongoing Experiment. I was not lying about the “ongoing experiment” part. Because 1) I love pancakes. 2) I love beer. 3) I know how to do math! Will it be too overpowering? Whole Foods had a tantalizing display!

While I enjoy it, what about a beer app that’s a little more useful? Like when I’m at the beer store and have no idea if any of the unfamiliar brews are worth trying. Talking to an employee usually helps, but how well do they really know your tastes? Courtesy of BrewHorn.com. In Boston. In order to make this app work, there will first be a community...

A beer called King Titus with a gorilla on the label, let’s do this! Not surprising, it’s very dark brown/black with a sizable dark tan head. An immediate, and inviting, aroma of malts, sweet chocolate, and rich coffee. A medium body with not much carbonation. A LES Craft Bar Favorite: One Mile House. There isn&...

Journey to Beer Enlightenment. Craft Beer Education, News, and Reviews. Raquo; Beer Styles 101. Just like Amber and Red Ales, the amber/red lagers are also a very general term referring more to color than anything else. These lagers have more malt than other lagers and are low in bitterness. A German brew that is bottom fermented in cold temperatures for several months. Of all the lagers, Bock beers are the strongest with a robust malt flavor and a balanced amount of hop bitterness. Similar to a Czech Pi...

Journey to Beer Enlightenment. Craft Beer Education, News, and Reviews. Raquo; Trappist Beer: A Gift from Holy Men. Trappist Beer: A Gift from Holy Men. May 1, 2014. I was very tempted to make an Admiral Ackbar pun. In the title, but you know, bad for SEO and all that. I’m pretty sure random people “researching” Pepe Le Pew are still tossed over to my post on skunky beer. Trappist Breweries and Style. In terms of style, Trappist isn’t a style, and the term “abbey ale” is fairly vague as...There are two t...
