Bottle/Tap: Can
This week I bring you a tale of two cans born of the same brewery and vying for some attention. Which can was better, you ask? That depends on your taste buds, Avid Reader, and what you choose to wet your whistle with on a warm spring evening. I am no stranger to the flagship brew from America’s oldest brewery and I was interested to get acquainted with its younger, slimmer brother. To stop them from fighting I put them both in the fridge for a time out and then found my Yuengling pint glass waiting for

Butternuts Beer and Ale, Variety Pack
by J Frazzetta on May 14th, 2012 | Beer
Good day to you, Avid Reader; in an effort to showcase more beers from cans, I decided to break into a variety pack I’ve had sitting for a few months. I was just waiting for the right time of year to unleash the contents upon you and figured now would be as good a time as any. This week we are checking out some brews by the Butternuts folks from upstate New York. I should mention to you this is not my first encounter with these beers -- but we’ll get to that later on. To the tasting!

Robert Cain Brewery, Dark Mild

Bottle/Tap: Can
Last week I spoke about a canned beer that was not your run of the mill canned beer, oh no, it had some class to it -- and I’m going to further dispel the myth of canned beers by talking about another one. That’s right, Avid Reader, this week we’re taking a sample of a beer I’d never seen before and figured I should indulge while I could. Even though the weather is getting warmer it doesn’t mean I’ll stop drinking darker beers, I’ll just drink them less often, because you have to bend the rules sometimes.

Oskar Blues, Yella Pils

Bottle/Tap: Can
Before you write this off as just another canned beer that has been mass produced with no flavor to scam you on a Saturday night; I’ll tell you to pause, Avid Reader, and ask yourself a question: would I do that to you? Of course I wouldn’t, so be quiet and listen as I tell you about a neat pilsner that might change your drinking habits.
It was a Friday night and realizing that I would need to fend for myself that evening for dinner, I swung into one of my usual spots to order a steak bomb and

Newcastle, Founder’s Ale

As you know, Avid Reader, I’m always on the lookout for unique or "one off" brews to sample and tell you about. I find them to be more rewarding than a typical beer you can find in vast quantity at any store. Case in point, I present to you a deviation from those folks at Newcastle; you may know them for their standard brown ale but have you heard of their Founder’s Ale? That’s what I thought, allow me to introduce you.
With any good beer I pick up to sample, I always allow for a little quality
