Anthem Brandy Barrel Uroburos Batch 1 and Batch 2 Vertical

The new batch of Brandy Barrel Uroboros just hit the shelves this week, so we anxiously busted a bottle of last year’s release out of the cellar and got to drinking! Last year this release out shined the Bourbon barrel variation (which is crazy for me to say, but it’s true) so we were pumped […]

Review: 405 FDR (2016)

Trae was kind enough to drop off a pre-release bottle of the new batch of FDR for personal consumption, but I decided to just review it in time for the release this week. An interesting brew, they added coffee directly into the boil. I’ve had the opportunity to sample FDR on a few occasions over […]

Review: Prairie Artisan Ales Cherry Trogdor

Prairie’s second brewery-only release, Trogdor sold out incredibily quickly and since we were in Kansas City for the release, we totally missed out. Luckily there are amazing people on this planet like Freddy of Craft & Barrel and Chris of The Fur Shop (Trogdor is actually his cat) who hooked us up with a bottle for this review. Thanks, guys! […]

Review: Willows Family Ales Bump N’ Grind

Willows Family returns with another bizarre label and another bizarre and undefinable beer. An intriguing mixture of coffee and farmhouse, this promises to be something new. I can only hope that I don’t see nothing wrong with a little Bump N’ Grind… Company: Willows Family Ales Location: Tulsa, OK ABV: 8% Style/Description: Farmhouse Ale with […]

Dry Hopped Sour Showdown

Kate and I were out of town for Valentine’s Day last weekend, so we are celebrating it a week late and I decided it would be fun to start off the festivities with a line up of Dry Hopped Sour Ales. Prairie’s Funky Gold Simcoe (FGS) just came out a couple of days ago, then […]

Review: Feisty Bier Schnapps

When we visited Colorado last fall for our “beercation” we stopped in on a few distilleries to see what Colorado had going on. Feisty Spirits is in Fort Collins and after a few breweries on our bikes we decided to go check them out. We tried lots of things from this promising distillery including this […]

Anthem Pappy Burleson Batch 1 and Batch 2 Vertical Tasting

Ah things from whiskey barrels, those barrels really do make everything better. After the Barrels and Mash team had a meeting to go over the first official event we will be a part of (tease, tease, details will come later), we decided it would be fun to crack some Anthems and discuss future ventures. Justin, […]

Anthem Babalon Batch 1 and Batch 2 Vertical Tasting

I’ve been holding on to an extra rare bottle of the Batch 1 Babalon (release in 2014) for a special occasion. Apparently that special occasion is Kris texting me and saying that we should drink it together. So we did! We popped a 2015 Batch 2 as well for comparison. 2015 saw a much wider release […]

Review: Stranahan’s

Man, I’ve been meaning to write this one for a long time, just look at that pic, the grass was green when I took it for this review! Well today seems like an appropriate to drink and write about Stranhan’s given that it’s produced in Denver and the Broncos are playing in the Super Bowl […]

Review: Four Roses Single Barrel Rural Inn (OESK)

Kris picked this bottle up when he was in Indianapolis for a friend’s wedding. He got into an awesome Bourbon conversation with Ray, the owner of Rural Inn where they talked for like an hour about awesome Bourbon while his friends patiently waited. The link to all of my other Four Roses reviews can be […]
