Thanks to the generosity of Josh at FoodGPS, I had the pleasure of trying one of the newer beers from The Bruery, Mischief. Here is my review…
Review – Gaspar IPA
Mischief and Oude Tart
It’s red carpet time…
for BEER!
Check out this link at BLUE PALMS BREWHOUSE for the details on tonights beer premiere and cheese tasting. Sounds like a great time. Mischief is a really great beer and Oude Tart is on my ever growing to try list.
50 from 50 – Michigan
A holiday seasonal from the brewers in Dexter, Michigan. Jolly Pumpkin’s Noel de Calabaza. You can read more about their beers HERE.
I am now 14% of the way to the goal!
50 from 50 – Wisconsin
Thanks to Z.H. for helping me scratch Wisconsin from the list with a bang…

Stone Winter Storm
Super Bowl be damned! I would rather be at this party…
“Stone Winter Storm is back for a fourth and glorious year! All 32 Bistro taps (and more!) will be pouring an avalanche of year ’round beers, special releases, archived vintages, barrel aged brews, collaborations, brewer’s one-off creations, casks, and more bottles than you can shake a Christmas tree at. We’ll see you here for an amazing week-long celebration of the rarest and tastiest Stone brews to be found outside of our 8,000 sq. foot cold box!”

Bottled Invasive Species
from The Oregonian via Captured by Porches
“We just got TTB label approval for our two beers that we will have in returnable bottles. We have sent out a few cases to choice accounts to test the waters, and all indications show that Portlanders are happy to pay the dollar deposit additional for a returnable, reusable bottle (or else they are home brewers that recognize that a dollar is a great price for a 750ml flip top!). Either way, we are super excited not only to be finally bottling, but to be doing so in a manner that breaks the ‘use once and destroy’ stream. (I have a ton of statistics and facts about how costly glass is to recycle).
Our IPA should hit the shelves of bottle shops and one New Season location on Jan 15; our ‘Friday’ beer is set for release on Feb 1.”
Backbreaker from Brooklyn
First they came out with Cuvee de Cardoz which I had at GABF, then the Manhattan Project which I still need to taste and now Backbreaker. My Brooklyn list is getting longer.
Saint Somewhere Pays du Soleil
A Belgian Dubbel with the famous yeast used by brewer Bob Sylvester? Count me in.
Modus Hoperandi
Another canned beer that I would love to try from SKA Brewing in Durango Colorado. This is # 3 on my must try canned beer list along with Monk’s Blood and Surly Zwickelbier.
