Franz Solo’s slew of beer reviews continues. This is good, because one of us — well, me — is gonna be buried in high school basketball coverage this week with the state tournament starting up Tuesday. Say a prayer for me. Or buy me a beer if you see my exhausted remnants at a brewery…

By Mjolnir, this is an ale!
Franz Solo has been a busy little beer drinker of late, so we asked him to share more of his favorites with all of you. Thus, a rare Saturday story from the Crew. Enjoy! — Stoutmeister While spring cleaning my beer fridge (drinking all the bombers, bottles, etc., left over from my winter stash), I…
Marble boasts the (Stout) Americano done right
Last night, with some anticipation (I really liked this beer’s 2013 incarnation), I trekked over to Marble’s downtown pub with Stoutmeister to try Stout Americano.

An homage in beer: Stone’s tribute to a fallen friend
Looking for a unique beer to take home this weekend? Franz Solo found one that truly fits the bill. I recently sampled the first beer I’ve ever tried that was a tribute to a fallen brewer at Stone, Matt’s Burning Rosids. This is a little weird, a recipe from the mind of a man just…
The Great White North has come south
Howdy, all, hope you’re staying nice and dry amid this freakish weather. This is Stoutmeister with a little review of the beers I tried Wednesday. Yeah, I know, a bit late, and before anyone asks about the Beer Roundup, it’s on life support at this point. No one else in the Crew has time to…
