feeling a little inspired by gary I decided to do some mixing last night. My favs of thenite were 1/3 garrisons, and 2/3 GL morning glory stout. Also tasted nice when I tried 1/3 of a pint of GL morning glory, and a bottle of post pumpkin road. I wasnt a fan of the morning glory stout on its own, bu...

went to the parents for dinner tonight and they had bought me a six of brooklyn post pumpkin road. It was very good in a different way. It relied more on the use of actual pumpkin meat in the mash instead of going overboard with spicing. very interesting example if you want to taste what the pumpkin...

They deffinetly need to renovate the niagars best. It is only a 2 years old or so I believe, but the interior is very strange. From the placement of tables, and small sized bar. To the weird combo of white walls, and pine wood. I also hope they keep the brewmaster at niagaras best. I think he has a ...

Drinking my 2 bottles of sweet petes peach wheat. Very nice wheat beer with a good amount of yeast esters to spice it up. Peach is in the finish which is nice and dry. Not sure if I would know its a peach wheat without being told, but it is an excellent beer. Liked it on cask much more.
