Beer names have started to get out of hand and the latest crazy one (possibly the longest) is by Evil Twin Brewing, Christmas Eve At A New York City Hotel Room. Two craft breweries have just so happen to produce beers with the word “Immortal” in their name, Elysian’s Immortal […]
Bourbon is primarily made from wheat, rye, malted grain and corn. When a mad scientist/winemaker/distiller, Marko J. Karakasevic gets his hand on an award-winning IPA beer, Bear Republic’s Racer 5 IPA his first inclination is to distill it. We had the honor of visiting the distillery and while we weren’t […]
We’ve had our share of saisons, from homebrewing accidents to foreign imports and 21st Amendment’s Sneak Attack is the best (So far). 21st Amendment Brewery produces the best artwork of any canned beers out there, their marketing, branding and artists are doing laps around everyone. Each beer has a story […]
Whenever we can, we look for obscure beers in the market. We have family ties in Hawaii and found two amazing beers created in Hawaii with a healthy dose of coconut flavors. Coconut has a light and almost fruity vanilla flavor and works well with many beer styles, but it […]
Drake’s Brewing in San Leandro, CA has been crafting award-winning beers for over 10 years. Similar to many craft breweries, they are tough to find outside of their home state. On a recent trip to California we picked up a bottle Drake’s Denogginizer which is a behemoth of an Imperial […]
India pale ales or “IPA” are a winter regular in our fridge. We are mostly drinking strong and high alcohol beers during the cold weather like stouts and porters, however an IPA reminds us most of a Christmas tree (Why wouldn’t you drink it during Christmas). IPAs come in a […]
We’ve been on a big beer and bourbon binge lately and it has made us start to question the other famous spirits in the alcohol world like sake. Sake has long been a cheap table-side drink we’re very familiar with. We shoot it and drink it with speed in mind, […]
Cocktails have existed for about a hundred years and the tools of choice have pretty much stayed the same, a cocktail shaker. We tend to gravitate towards the Cobbler Shaker for most cocktails as it’s the most efficient and easy to use shaker. The Cobbler is made of three pieces, […]
There’s many beers with pumpkin this season and they’re best had during the fall or early winter season, however the Southern Tier Warlock imperial stout was best served during Halloween (It is still drinkable). The bottle is named for a man that practices witchcraft, and features a devious Jack-o’-lantern on […]
A few years ago while at the Consumer Electronics Show, I saw an in incredible nano-coating that promised to turn any treated device into a water-resistant one. The beauty to the nano-coating was that you wouldn’t need to use a silly (and usually bulky-looking) case to protect it from potential […]
Evil Twin Brewing is on a tear and we find it hard love any one beer, because they’re producing so many different ones. This is one tiny issue we have with the craft brewing boom, there are so many styles a brewery can choose from that they can lose their […]
It’s incredibly difficult to do simple. For every “yes” the designers and engineers agree to, there are a dozen opposing “no” replies that come with it. Apple, the king of minimalism, is the master of understated design. There is not a single button or element on any Apple product that […]
