There was a time when I used to decry IPAs as the worst thing to happen to beer since rice. Maybe it was the effect of one too many Stone Ruinations in my younger years, but I just never understood the appeal of the tooth rattling bitter flavor they all seemed to come with. Then one [...]
Funny enough, it turns out that drinking beer and writing well thought out blog posts don’t seem to go hand in hand. Looking back into my wobbly drunken photo archive, it turns out that I have quite a collection of brews I’ve never written anything about. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on your perspective), now that [...]
Wow, where did the month go? I assure you, that while the site has been quiet as a ghost, there has been no such respite for the livers of the Frosty crew. I myself have a backlog of over 12 reviews to add. So without further ado, I will begin the 2010 review season with [...]
Sorry for the delay all. I was busy getting bitten by mosquitos (some call it camping), and not drinking beer. Then when I decided to drink again, I had a fridge full of Haymaker, Mothership Wit and Stumptown Tart to get through. For those worried about my liver, yes, I did spread it out over [...]
I both love stouts, and hate stouts. That is, 50% of all the stouts I’ve had taste like someone spilled ash in the fermenter. The other half however, can be be truly awesome. And as luck (or unluck) would have it, I have just had the second best stout I’ve ever had, courtesy of our [...]
I’m easy, I admit it. When a generous soul walks up to my desk with a fresh free beer to try, they officially become one of my favorite people. So much so that I have decided to come up with a simple acronym, FAB. Favorite Amatuer Brewmasters. These folks, show the appropriate disdain for my [...]
I was lucky enough to have another homebrew delivered to my desk this afternoon. Jonathan Edwards dropped off his latest concoction, Hit ‘n Run IPA. The story goes that on the way home from the brew shop he was actually involved in a hit and run. Something about two meth crazed old ladies who sides-swiped [...]
Writing reviews on Frosty Goodness doesn’t pay well. In fact, it doesn’t pay at all. And when Frosty is on my ass for not writing a post in like, forever, it is hard to get motivated. HOWEVER, a perk has begun to surface. It seems that there are some people who actually read Frosty Goodness. [...]
Whats the only thing better than drinking beer? Drinking beer someone gives you! Ok, so maybe there are a few things better than drinking beer, but its sure nice when a generous coworker comes wandering by with a bottle of home brew for you to try. In this case, the brave soul was our own [...]
This is Chris McGowen. Everyday that you go to work and your computer doesn’t die a horrible death from viruses and botnets (assuming you use McAfee), you should be thanking Chris. Personally, every time I’m thirsty and am looking for solid alcoholic beverage to chill with on the patio, I thank Chris. Cause by golly, [...]
