Atwater Block Brewery Shaman’s Porter

Atwater Block Brewery Shaman’s Porter

Men love charcoal. It is dirty, black and smelly. It makes grilled things taste delicious. It is also useful in aging all sorts of alcohols. Scotch, tequila, wine, and our personal favorite here at Tuesday Nights: bourbon. The growing trend in the brewing industry of using old bourbon barrels for aging beer has had some great results, but some others that are, in a word, meh. Enter a bourbon barrel aged porter called Atwater’s Shaman … Read entire article »

Dark Horse Brewing Company Raspberry Ale

Dark Horse Brewing Company Raspberry Ale

Let me start this review by saying that I love raspberries. They are obviously the best fruit due to their tastiness and modern look (I’m sure the good Lord was thinking of design when he made the raspberry). With that in mind, I also want to be completely honest and let you all know I don’t really care for fruit beer, so when I heard we were going to be sampling Dark Horse’s Raspberry Ale … Read entire article »

North Peak Brewing Diabolical IPA

North Peak Brewing Diabolical IPA

We love this beer, but before I address our fondness of Diabolical IPA, I also wish to express our appreciation of their wonderfully designed labels. They are clean, easy to read and feature fun graphics. (Dark Horse, take note) Diabolical IPA is no exception to this standard as it features an American legend nearly as revered as Chuck Norris: The Jackalope. … Read entire article »
