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 [...]
The other day, while browsing Freddy’s beer selection I put back my first choice in favor of a Hopworks Crosstown Pale Ale. Although I never regretted my decision I vowed to go back for the beer I left behind. That beer was an Alameda Brewing Klickitat Pale Ale. Alameda as in the Portland neighborhood, not [...]
Today was the second time that I’ve had this beer while having lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings in Tanasbourne. Both times this pale ale was welcome treat. The first time because I’d never tried it before and it tasted good and the second because it backed up my initial positive tasting. Most pale ales these [...]
This is a strange post for me. Normally, I sit here and comment how beer I don’t like is brewed of the devil, and only suitable for cleaning the sink. So here I sit today instead, having just had a beer that truthfully I didn’t like. And yet… I don’t have anything bad to say. [...]
An hour or so ago, I made a Twitter entry that proclaimed my intention to drink this, given that I had nothing else in the fridge. “In the land of the thirsty, the one starred beer is king” it proclaimed. Well, it turns out that the land of the thirsty is a lawless place. Not [...]
Have you ever been cooking, worked busily on mixing up all of the ingredients, cooked the concoction, and then got all worked up preparing to taste your stupendous creation, only to find out you forgot a key ingredient? Let’s see if I can guess their beer recipe correctly…… 12 oz of well intentioned, but soon [...]
My backlog of beer reviews is growing due to “work” and “family” stuff (I know, I know… I need to get my priorities straight). I’ve been trying lots of new brews as I’ve traveled around for my job. I had a Belgian Wheat from Blue Moon ($1 at Tsunami in Charleston, SC) with an orange [...]
We had another one of those impromptu bbq’s at work today. Fortune, or possibly misfortune, was smiling upon me as I noticed another Sam Adams Cherry Wheat was in the beer bin. I arrived to the bbq early, so the beer hadn’t had long to steep in the ice. Now I see where some other [...]
Usually I don’t buy beer to cook with first and drink second, but I did it with this one. It made OUTSTANDING grilled clams, only because the beer flavor disappeared when the clams opened up, but it’s not quite so nice to drink. This pale ale is almost trying to be an IPA, but fails. [...]
