I like this whole beer-on-booze thing that Boulevard has going on. Rye-on-Rye is amazing. Rye-on-Rye-on-Rye even more so. And along comes Scotch-on-Scotch to play too. Happy Burns Night, Kansas City. pic.twitter.com/4SHU6jm7X4 — KC Beer Scouts (@KCBeerScouts) January 26, 2017 It helps that I like both alcoholic references to scotc ...

With temperatures starting to rise, my latest trip to the liquor store found me passing over the stouts and heavy beers I’ve been stockpiling the last few months and looking for a nice spring seasonal. Luckily, one of my favorites from the last few springs had just arrived – Tree Shaker Imperial Peach IPA from O’Dell Bre ...

We want to know who is making it and why they are making the beer they make. What were the motivations and goals for each beer brewed. We are alwa ...

My last beer review was on New Belgium’s seasonal: Pumpkick in which I channeled my inner ugg-wearing-Starbucks-drinking high schooler. This one is much different. I’m currently in the middle of a nice glass of North Coast’s Old Rasputin; a Russian Imperial Stout at 9% ABV. So, this one I’m channeling my inner ...

On any given Friday or Saturday night, I may find myself faced with a decision of the utmost importance: should I have a beer or whiskey? Boulevard or Bulleit? Lagunitas or Lagavulin? Lucky for me, the ever-growing selection of bourbon-barrel-aged beers offers relief from such daunting choices. The concept of aging beer in used bourbon ba ...

My inner crotchety old man is fed up with the quickness at which we move past the current season. A few days after New Year, the grocery store will convert an aisle to sell Valentine’s Day candy. Don’t bother looking for that new patio set when temperatures are peaking in July; the home improvement store shipped them back to t ...
