When I’m faced with a large amount of beers to choose from, like I was at Fat Head’s (E. Carson St, Pittsburgh) last week, I usually look for my favorites first, and then try to pick one I’ve never tried. One of my favorite types of beers is India Pale Ales. All IPA’s share [...]

This year every Thursday I am going to post a new micro brew that I enjoy. I am going to call this new weekly feature “Thirsty Thursday”. I may not have time to write my own review of the beer but I will share as much as I can about it.

One of this year’s goals for the site is to find a few more bacon loving writers to help keep this site loaded with fresh content. Well one bacon lover has heard my call and has stepped up to the challenge, his name is Mike Adamson. I asked Mike to write a bio [...]

Three Beers form Seattle

On November 19, 2008 By

While I was in Seattle last week I got the chance to visit two of the breweries that were downtown, Elysian and Pike. I also was able to try another local brewer called Hale’s. From each brewer I partook in IPA style of beer. This is my favorite style so I thought it would [...]
