Read more "Review: Prairie Artisan Ales Ape Snake"It seems like I’ve been doing a lot of blind tastings recently, and I have to say, I’ve become a huge fan.

Read more "Buffalo Trace Mash Bill #1 Blind Tasting"We haven’t reviewed a brew from Battered Boar here yet, and there are a few reasons for that. One being that of the beers I’ve had from them in the past, they haven’t led me to want to go back to the brand. I’m not saying they were terrible, but they just weren’t memorable in any […]

Read more "Low Gap Rye Barrel Aged in a Bottle"This is going to be a pretty long post, so I’ll make the intro as short as I can.
