In honor of Walt Liquor’s return to frostygoodness, I thought I’d review Jeremiah Weed’s Roadhouse Tea — a brand-new alcoholic iced tea that comes in a tallboy can, with the usual faux-western label art you also see on many low-end beverages. I’m BACK! First I’d like to discuss the use of the “Roadhouse” image for [...]
Some fast facts about Biere De Mars: – This is a beer called “Beer From Mars”, and has a picture of Mars on the label. – Despite being from Mars, the name is in French. – Comes in a big fat bottle with a champagne-style cork. – Prominently mentions that its brewed with Brettanomyces Bruxellensis, [...]
Maharaja’s Premium Indian Pilsner is a pretty straightforward and tasty imported brew with a somewhat-uncomfortably on-the-nose-stereotype picture of 19th-century Indian royalty on the front. I’d place it in the realm of Beers That Are Really Ethnic Stereotype Jokes From The Simpsons (or, BTARESJFTS’s), almost as though the creators were 1950′s ad men trying to paint [...]
In keeping with my pattern of either drinking 1) leprous domestic malt liquor or 2) run-of-the-mill imports, I recently tried out the Heineken Keg Can. As you might imagine, it failed to live up to the hype — it’s essentially just a 24-oz can o’ beer with a little slope to the shape near the [...]
I’m not going to spend too much effort on this, other to say that the 2006 version of Jubelale was nasty. 2007 was gross as well. In this regard, the 2008 version does not disappoint. Just as cheek smashy, just as odd tasting, just as quickly down the sink. This year, even the wrapper was [...]
A beer from Monty Python’s comedy crew, brewed (I envision) by stiffly-moving british police in a hand-cranked meat grinder. I of course picked this up purely for the label, as being a card-carrying geek I would proudly drink any beer brewed by Monty Python, Dread Zeppelin, They Might Be Giants, rock tumblers, graphing calculators, 24-sided [...]
Big Sky Brewing, the makers of “Moose Drool”, have delivered a positively yummy little summer beer here. It seems that I have an unhealthy affinity for beers with “Honey” in the title, and this is no exception. It was light and airy like a yummy wheat mixed with a pale. All you have to do [...]
Every now and then, when I’ve had tons of the Easy Drinkin’ brews, I hanker for something more experimental. I wander down to the local brew pusher and grab something off the “wall o’ beer”. Sometimes this can have spew worthy results (see Fuller’s Extra Special Bitter … my dad bought it). But on occasion [...]
