Normally I would review each beer individually, but since I tried them all in a sampler, I figured I’d pass along the review in the same fashion. Now for those of you who don’t know where or what the f#*k Brewbakers is, don’t feel bad…… In fact feel good that you haven’t spent any considerable […]

Eureka!!! I finally found a Brown Ale exactly like every other brown ale. I have come to the realization that brown ale is like an American Lager. The only difference is that brown ales are usually made by decent hard working people. Ohh yeah, and they taste good. Other than that, the label will usually tell […]

Rarely does a beer come around that makes me feel like a pussy and love it. If there has ever been a beer that belongs in the wine cooler section, this is definitely it. But then again, the bottle clearly states that this is a malt beverage, and not a beer. I shouldn’t even be […]

I guess what Lagunitas thinks Frank Zappa is one Arrogant Bastard. From what I can find, this is the third in Lagunitas series saluting the great Frank Zappa. After the first sip, I had to go back and grab the bottle to make sure that they really thought this was an ale. Halfway back to my […]

So the french finally got something right! Damn… Ok.. need to backup a little bit. Apparently, Blonde Ale is a french term for carbonated Scotch. I have never tasted an ale, much less a blonde ale that has a sugar or alcohol content this high. This “ale” has a surprising small afterbite. That is assuming […]

Apparently imperial IPAs are now known as “San Diego Style IPAs” I guess the rest of the world finally realized that we make some damn good beer here in San Diego. Or perhaps it’s because we’re bitter as hell. Green Flash decided to blend the two concepts. The result is a 9% “San Diego style […]
