In celebration of Starr Hill’s 16th Anniversary Brewmaster Robbie O’Cain put together this beauty; Hopfetti Triple IPA. While the anniversary was technically last month, I’ve sat on this beer until Beer Snob Don and I could sit down and enjoy it together. Maybe I should’ve kept it to myself…. This beer has a ...

Beer Snob Rob and I sometimes travel for work and almost always…well make that always…carve out some time to check out the local craft beer scene. Following a recent meeting in Orlando, we decided to head to Tampa to visit Cigar City and check out a couple other places we had read about. After a flight or so of Cigar City beer (in ...

Other things are kinda neat and we ...

Howdy fellow snobs! Up today we have a rare dual post [alarm sounds go here]! Don and I are actually together, at the same time, reviewing the same beer much like in the days of pre-children. I had to fake a plumbing incident to get him over here but Don wasn’t too upset to find out he packed his tools for nothing. On deck is another grea ...

As you all probably know by now, anytime we can tie a cause in with raising a glass of wonderful, tasty, magnificent, hop laden, sweet malty nectar….wait, what were we talking about? Oh, yes…anytime we can raise a glass of beer and benefit a great cause at the same time, we’re in. Pending each of our wife’s separate ap ...
