Stoutmeister here, trying to clear out the mental notebook of beer (sure, I could write stuff down, but instead I prefer using my hands to lift pints) before trekking down to Marble’s Septemberfest on Saturday. Speaking of Septemberfest, this year’s edition kicks off at noon, features the added bonus of Red Light Cameras on stage,…

The Week Ahead in Beer—Easing into September
Hello, this is E-Rock with a special Tuesday edition of my weekly blog, The Week Ahead in Beer. I took the day off from blogging yesterday in order to observe Labor Day, play music at a harvest festival, and fill up a growler of Tractor’s Mustachio Milk Stout. But I couldn’t go a whole week…

Hopfest in review: Chilling out in The Maple’s Shade
Stoutmeister here, fully recovered from the madness that was Hopfest 2012 down at Hard Rock on Saturday afternoon.

For…

Beer Notes: The Crew is back from the dead
Stoutmeister here. To paraphrase Monty Python, “We’re not dead yet!” It’s been a while since any of the rest of us posted, save for E-Rock’s Week Ahead in Beer, so by golly, this is an overdue post. Think of it as a massive download of all the beer goodness I have sampled in the last…
T-minus two weeks until two breweries start growlin’ (hopefully)
Tractor Brewing and Broken Bottle Brewery both went before yet another set of city officials in a final effort to obtain the right to sell growlers. The verdict? Wait two more weeks. Yup, two more weeks. But at the end of those two weeks both breweries should learn their respective fates. The amendment to the…
Broken Bottle unveils a summer treat
Stoutmeister here. With Shilling, our new member, Derek, and another friend in tow, the Crew took up Broken Bottle on its recent invite to stop by and sample their new seasonal before it was released to the general public. So yeah, we were invited to drink beer. How in the world could we say no?…
Clearing out the beer notebook
Beer Week is in the rearview mirror, but the Crew has stayed busy visiting breweries, drinking beer, and then procrastinating any writing about those beers. Yeah, sometimes we’re just really lazy. Or really busy, like this past weekend (yours truly, Stoutmeister, spent about 10 hours or so covering the Great Southwest Track & Field Classic;…
