Greetings and salutations, folks!
If there's one thing I like more on any given day than a good drink, it's good music. Imagine my delight, then, when I was strolling through Beltway the other day, perusing the aisles for some festive favors and came across this – Dogfish Head Pearl Jam Faithfull Ale (yes, the spelling is correct). As a celebration of two important milestones in music, the 20th anniversary of Pearl Jam, and the release of their hit record Ten, Dogfish Head's latest offering is a treat for both beer and music lovers alike.
I know what you're saying...

Wychwood Brewery, Hobgoblin

Bottle/Tap – Bottle
Rather than spend Christmas with an elf or the Grinch, I thought to invite a different creature over for holiday festivities. Yes, I know this makes me sound like I take in stray fictional creatures, but what can I say besides: I’m excited for next December already. That is another tale for another time, Avid Reader, and today I’m going to tell you about another small troublesome character, not to be confused with a Hobbit, who is often helpful yet mischievous: the hobgoblin.
This odd shaped bottle spent some quality time in the fridge cooling

Saranac, 12 Beers of Winter
by J Frazzetta on December 19th, 2011 | Beer
Variety packs are a lot of fun when you want to get the most for your money. Of course this is also how a brewer will get you to try their new beer by lumping it in with a bunch of subpar brews in hopes that you won’t just drink that one beer you were looking for. I’m happy to report that is not the case here, avid reader. Instead, we are given two bottles of six different beers, and each one is sure to spread some holiday cheer this winter.
Bohemian Pilsner – the lightest of the bunch, this

The Ties That Bind
by J Frazzetta on December 12th, 2011 | Beer, Contest, Events
With the deadline approaching, and not having much luck sampling beer as my cold was still hanging around all last week, I was worried that my post would be less than the fantastic writing you’ve grown accustom to, avid reader. Have no fear, because a good neighbor is always there to lend you a helping hand, a cold brew or a tie. That’s right folks, those Rhode Island natives at Narragansett have announced the 5th Annual Father’s Day Tie Design contest and I’m going to shed a little light on the subject while I sip some NyQuil.

Fuller’s, Vintage Ale 2010
by J Frazzetta on December 5th, 2011 | Beer
Bottle/Tap: Bottle
Some beers taste better on someone else’s tab, even if that tab happens to be gift certificates to a fancy restaurant you wouldn’t otherwise patronize. On such an occasion, we happened to be drawn toward Riddles Tavern which is located within Buckley’s Great Steaks. I like other brews by Fuller’s and didn’t have a chance to give this a shot when it was released some months back; noticing it on the menu, I opted for a bottle and got to keep it afterward. This was number 114,291 of 125,000.
The interesting thing about this brew is the mixture
