This is the first American Solera brew I had and that little pour at the Oklahoma Craft Beer Festival wasn’t near enough. That 2oz hit of sour cherry juice got me so excited for the launch of American Solera and I couldn’t wait to bring home my own bottle of Foeder Cerise. So now here I am, […]
Read more "Review: American Solera Foeder Cerise"I was shopping for some Vermouth for my Manhatthan addiction a while back and saw these three lovely little Dolin vermouths just sitting in a row waiting to be bought.

Here’s some information…. “Founded in 1997, Jefferson’s is the brainchild of Trey Zoeller and his father Chet, a famed bourbon historian.

Read more "Review: Jefferson’s Small Batch"There aren’t many beers that I buy over and over again just to make sure I always have some in the fridge…actually, to be exact, there’s currently only one: Elk Valley’s Pale Ale.
