Now on to the important part of the review, how's it taste (Chappelle Show fans fill in the blanks)? Simply put, if you like beer and you like coffee, you're going to love Cortado. Brash is all local, and they use beans from...
Watermelon Wheat takes their wheat beer base and adds watermelon to it. Pretty simple. The can features a pastel red color with the Galveston Bay lighthouse logo and the name in bold text at the forefront. Waves crash into each other behind...
This craft brew is a Belgian Style Whitbier, which basically means that this summer quencher is not only light and tart but it has enough layered aroma and flavor to rival hearty winter beers. I found it to be an excellent summer brew and it seems like the hundreds of other athletes...
Bobby shared a funny story with us about sourcing the corn for his Blue Testament pils. He looked high and low all over Texas, but nobody was interested in selling the quality corn at such a low volume. Frustrated and at his wits end, he ended up...
There are dozens of macro comparisons here, so I really want to make this one count. One of my good friends is a devout drinker of Dos Equis, and despite me trying again and again to convert him, he's steadfast. I really wanted to try Border Town Lager for him. It reminds me more of a...
Perpetual Peace is part of the Off Label series. At certain times of the year, No Label puts out limited release beers under this label and perhaps you've seen some of them. Perpetual Peace is the only one (that I have seen in the past few years) that is barrel aged. It's a...
More Cowbell pours golden orange and leaves a fine white foam that will sustain itself through the duration of the brew; which if you enjoyed it like I did then it won’t last long. The aroma that it gives off is floral notes with hints of caramel, but the taste is sweet with just the right kick of...
Fancy Sauce IPA pours a slightly dark golden colored body with a single finger worth of white head that quickly disappeared. Lacing is heavy all the way down the glass. with a real clean, crisp mouth feel....

Let me start by saying this is one of the most polarizing beers I know of. Anytime it's mentioned the hard-core beer snobs hate it, the macro drinkers have never heard of it, and the people in between...
7 Spanish Angels flowed into my pint glass and had a dark amber color that a brown ale should. There wasn't a lot of carbonation after the pour and the little bit that was present faded quickly. I loved the...
I first laid my Asian American eyes on this rare gem at “The Flying Saucer” downtown while waiting for a friend. I call this a rare gem because this brew was created on May 28, 2015 and wasn’t released to the public’s greedy little craft beer loving hands until...
Sometime ago, Saint Arnold started having lots of fun with their Boiler Room Berliner Weisse and adding fruit to it. The story goes that the brewery took to the Twitterverse to ask whether they should call this beer, "Raspberry Boiler Room" or "Raspberry AF." Of course, when you ask the internet...
7 Iron is great to share with new drinkers in the craft world because they won’t be turned off by the slight kick of hops. As I mentioned before this is a foundation beer, that was created to be paired with a stick and ball game of Scotland, so it makes sense that the...
There are 2 good months left of 2017's crawfish season, and if you know your way around the boil, you might wait 'til later in the season to get the bigger bugs. If your crawfish boil planning is under way, here are 15 of the best crawfish beers you can have on deck to...
I've been waiting for this Saint Arnold Icon Green El Dorado IPA for 6 months or more. The guys had lunch at Saint Arnold one day when I couldn't peel myself away from work, and they got a little Easter-egg-info that had me green with envy. We took the info and made it...
The pours they gave us were the base beer, samples from each individual barrel, the 2017 blended batch, and the batch from 2016. If you want to know why they call it Big Mistake RIS...
I was feeling a little decadent on the way home today and decided to snag a bottle at my local liquor store so I could have it as a dessert after dinner. Red Velvet Stout's label features multiple shades of red. A deep mahogany red gives way to...
Every time we visit a brewery, whether for a big write up like this or just for a few beers one afternoon, we always leave with a little gem. Jeff gets the credit today. "Beer is a commodity. We don't sell beer. We...
NRB Kadigan Blonde is a pretty good beer. As a rule, I don't care much for blondes because they're low in flavor and don't lend themselves to much creativity as a style. That's not to say all blondes are bad, but they're just far from...
