It’s that wonderful time of the year when we begin seeing the winter seasonal beer; our favorite beer season. Dark, malty, sweet, spicy – so many awesome flavors to pair with everything from pre-dinner cheese to the last course of dessert. Tasty. Up on deck this evening is another fun beer from our friends at Starr Hill Brewery, the ...

It’s no secret that we’re partial to stouts here at Knox Beer Snobs. Add in words like “double” and “chocolate,” you’ve got our attention. Back in July Highland Brewing Company debuted their Warrior Series and we were pretty impressed. The Warrior Series is meant to be a series that allows the talented ...

It’s not very often we get to have our very own press release but here it is! Hard to believe it’s been 5 years since we began this blog. We’ll put together a more reflective post at a later date but in the mean time, check out the press release below and consider joining us on Sunday, December 6th!!   ——&mdas ...

There’s a style we don’t see too often; Doppelbock. First things first, this style is a lager and it hails from Germany, as the “bock” in it’s name would suggest. This type of beer is known to be very malty with an ABV begining above 7.0%. “Doppel” litterally means “double” so it’s ...

The concept is not lost on me. There’s something to be said about doing your grocery shopping with a pint in hand. Even being able to grab a growler and a steak in one stop, that’s pretty nice. The Market in Maryville, now long gone, was the first to bring this concept to life. Now, not far away, a Kroger Marketplace has adopted tha ...

If you weren’t aware, SWBC and Corks Wine & Spirits out in Turkey Creek have been experimenting with some beer. As the fine gentlemen at Corks like to brew as well, there have been a few opportunities to try a few different recipes with SWBC. Also, Corks just happens to have some Four Roses Barrels that were feeling empty inside. Bein ...

The crispness of fall is certainly upon us. The crunch of colorful leaves as one passes through the woods and the gentle briskness of the air reminds us that winter lingers shortly in the distance. Food & drink are also cues to the changing seasons and while many breweries may turn to pumpkin and spice to help signal this change, not a ...

I’ll never forget the first time I had this beer many years ago. Washington, DC in what is now the Bier Baron. I stopped by on a work trip and there it was, on tap. I’ve been in love ever since. Before Founders came in to Tennessee, Don and I sought this beer out anytime we traveled outside of the state. When we were able to bu ...

Check this out beer fans, the second in the Highland Brewing Company’s Warrior Series to be released on Black Friday at the brewery in Asheville. King MacAlpin was very good so we know this will be awesome as well. Check out the press release below. Cheers! ———————PRESS RELEASE——&mdash ...

Howdy snobs, Rob and Don here for another dual post [alarm sounds go here]! On deck we have two beers from Tallgrass Brewing Company out of Manhattan, Kansas. First off, the graphics on these cans are awesome. As a child of the ’80’s and disciple of Nintendo, the whole play on old school video game graphics certainly strike a chord. ...
