Fullsteam Brewery Review in Durham, North Carolina

Fullsteam Brewery – Beer Brewed the Hard Way. Many a craft beer fan wanted to throw their can, bottle, or pint glass at the TV when they saw Budweiser’s “Brewed the Hard Way” advertisement during the Super Bowl. But then again, none of us wanted to waste good beer in such a frivolous manner. (I guess that’s because we’re all beer dissectors?) Instead, we began an intellectual war through blogs and YouTube….

Southern Star Brewing Review in Conroe, Texas

Weighing the Good with the Bad at Southern Star This is one of the toughest brewery reviews I’ve written.  Mainly because I’ve been taught that if I don’t have anything nice to say (or in my case type), then I shouldn’t type anything at all.  Thus, I tend to focus on the positives over the negatives.  It’s not that I sugarcoat my reviews to spin a bad experience good.  That will never…

Brewery Snapshot: Dogfish Head Alehouse

In the faith of craft breweries, Dogfish Head has always served as my authority on beers. Sure, Stone has earned its arrogant reputation with its high quality brews. Rogue deserves props for the care that goes into growing many of their ingredients at the Rogue Farm. And Sierra Nevada owns hops like no other brewery. But no brewery goes as far into the study of the history of brewing beer as Dogfish Head….

Brewery Snapshot: Cigar City Brewery in Tampa, Florida

I love to travel, and I love good beer.  On occasion Often, these two passions collide. On a recent work trip to Tampa that appeared to be completely drab with Tropical Storm Andrea quickly approaching (read no chance for toes in the sand), I by happenstance stumbled upon Cigar City Brewing.     How I stumbled upon Cigar City Brewing After a day of flying and client meetings I popped off at a…
