Let's play ball! Texas Leaguer is coming with the heater! Knuckle Bock checks all the boxes, in my opinion. Back Pew was the best bock brewed in Texas and while still really good, the bar has been raised. No disrespect to Shiner or any others out here brewing Bocks, but Texas Leaguer is in a league of their own....
Before tasting it, I heard and read a lot of salty, disappointed feedback about Saint Arnold Brash Not a Collaboration. With each sip, I’m reminded of one of those comments. Each sip starts off bright and citrusy with a sweet and bitter finish. The finish...
...Bam! Pineapple! Bam! Grapefruit! If you’re not reading this in Emeril’s voice, why are you still here? The sip starts off tropical with......
According to Ryan Soroka, one of 8th Wonder's Owners, that's exactly what the Slim Thug beer was supposed to be, "Slim knew he wanted a light and refreshing beer but he wanted a little extra...
The smell of Back Pew Evildoer Pale Ale is reminiscent of he aforementioned bubbles with some slightly soapy, floral, citrus notes and a...
Just in time for their 3 year anniversary and the 2018 batch of Big Mistake, and this is a solid beer. I'm excited to get more this year, but I'm not aging it. I think I'm done aging beer after experiencing...
Saint Arnold Icon Blue Chocolate Milk Stout makes up for being light-bodied with a mouthful of roasty chocolate notes that are far from overly sweet. The...
These tots definitely don't taste like 8%. B52 Pocket Tots Strawberry Milkshake starts off smooth and silky from the milk sugar, and finishes with...
Copperhead King of Terrors is the opposite of a sting. It’s a smooth sipper that hides the 15%ABV and 100 IBUs beneath layers of warming coffee flavor. As the finish sips, there’s a rush of...
So here are the top 17 most viewed blogs on the site for 2017. Some are beer reviews, others are breaking news, and others still are simple...
No Label has a special spot in my heart because of Don Jalapeño (yeah, watchu gone do ‘bout it?). Since then, they’ve produced a handful of awesome beers and a few that were lackluster, depending on who you ask. That had me reluctant to commit to buying a pack of Elda M. Milk Stout, if I can be totally honest. And I always...
Oatmeal cookie + Whiskey + beer = Saint Arnold Bishop’s Barrel 18. I'm typically not much for whiskey or spirits, so I really admire good balance in a BA...
Holler Dollar Pils Y'all is a great pils. They nailed the style, and the smooth dry finish keeps me coming back for another refreshing sip. Breweries gotta do what they gotta do to get through, know what I'm sayin'? Pils pay the bills. It's picturesque. Bright...
Fetching Lab just dropped some bombs on Houston today! 22 oz Bombers, actually. Blue Mischief is a deliciously light-bodied, summer treat that oughta do well all year-round. It starts off crisp and tangy, and the carbonation pokes...
Ho! Ho! Hold up! Saint Arnold Cut with Bread Pudding pours a beautiful dark copper, amber color with a medium, off-white head. It smells sweet, malty, and heavily spiced with holiday favorites like nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger. The taste mimics yet improves upon the aroma in that you get more vanilla, toasted malt, and graham cracker. The spices leave a slight bitterness on the finish, and the mild alcohol...
SpindleTap 5 Percent Tint was fire in my book. I love hops. I love refreshing. And I love sessionable because I don't wanna ever be the jerk at the bar that's faded, talking all crazy to everybody he halfway knows. Nobody in town...
The irony here is that last year we had to work pretty hard to gather all the IPAs, and do it quickly all while being mindful of the bottled/canned dates. This time, we didn't have to worry about freshness nearly as much, but we managed to wrangle all the stouts together much quicker. We met up at Drink of Ages and had Jon partake in the...
It smells like very-ripe mango and cantaloupe. Nick said it was a bit vegetal, but I don’t get that - just heavy, ripe fruit and a tiny little alcohol note on the finish; all of...
Brash Milk the Venom has some very unique label art. There are four people dressed like Walter and Jesse from Breaking Bad. One them is holding a skull like a...
Copperhead Black Venom Imperial Stout is jet-black and full of roasty, velvety-smooth chocolate notes and it's way too easy to drink for 10% ABV. There's a...
