Dapper Guide Nelson Sauvin Saison

Dapper Guide Nelson Sauvin Saison

Farmhouse ales or saisons have made a comeback this year with many craft breweries making their version of this beer. Pale ales are identified with bitterness, and saisons are identified with a fruity spiciness. We brewed this with a common pale ale grain bill, but flavored this with Nelson Sauvin […]

Hipster Ale by Evil Twin Brewing Review

Hipster Ale by Evil Twin Brewing Review

Evil Twin Brewing is having a great year with numerous beers in their repertoire. The challenge of finding Evil Twin beers warrants a purchase whenever you see it. We’ve had our hands on some of their other beers, and we had to give the Hipster Ale a try. We’d rather […]

Bellroy Passport Sleeve Wallet Review

Bellroy Passport Sleeve Wallet Review

To the homebody, a passport sleeve is useless. But, to a jetsetter, businessman or just the frequent flyer, a passport sleeve is as essential as a good carry-on luggage. A passport that gets flexed is one that needs to be protected. Despite its name, Bellroy’s Passport Sleeve Wallet is more […]

Elysian Night Owl Pumpkin Ale Review

Elysian Night Owl Pumpkin Ale Review

The fall season means strong flavorful beers, and pumpkin beer. All types of fruit flavored beers are big during the summer, but once the fall hits, pumpkin is king. Elysian Brewing Company is based in Seattle, WA and have won many awards for their beers. They have taken on many […]

SideKick Extra Pale Ale Review

SideKick Extra Pale Ale Review

We’re soaking up the last of the summer weather and it’s a prerequisite to have a cold beer. Public alcohol consumption is illegal in most states, but thanks to cans our drinking is hidden from view. The SideKick Extra Pale Ale by Two Brothers Brewing Company sounds like your average […]

Bikini Beer Review

Bikini Beer Review

  Nomad or gypsy brewers are the geniuses of the beer world with small run beers that sell out in minutes. Mikkeller, Stillwater, and Evil Twin Brewery are arguably the royalty of gypsy brewers. With names such as “Bikini” and “Hipster” we’re imagining a homebrewer in Brooklyn, NY concocting exciting […]

Founders Devil Dancer Review

Founders Devil Dancer Review

We’ve had a week long love affair with Founders Brewing Company. Their session ales are great, but their strong ales are sublime. In warm weather we tend to be fixated on light beers, when the full bodied beers pack so much flavor that we miss in the light ones. We […]

Founders All Day IPA Review

Founders All Day IPA Review

Session and IPA beers do not go hand in hand, and are typically on the opposite sides of the beer spectrum. An IPA is a full-bodied, full of flavor, bitter, and heavy beer. Session beers are very light and drinkable, sweeter than bitter, and have a low alcohol content. Founders […]

Jack Spade Wesson Leather Bill Holder Review

Like everything else, picking a wallet is about personal preference. There are a gazillion wallets out there, but finding a quality one — like the Bellroy Note Sleeve is a tough task, especially if you want one that you’ll carry around for years to come. To be taken seriously, you […]

Calvin & Hobbes Custom iPhone 5 SodaCase Case Review

Calvin & Hobbes Custom iPhone 5 SodaCase Case Review

It’s been about three weeks since we received our very own custom “SodaCase” case for our iPhone 5. In that time, we’ve dropped our cased up iPhone 5 a handful of times from varying heights (by accident) without so much as a scratch on the actual smartphone itself. That’s not […]

Droidax EzyCharge Wireless Charging Kit for Galaxy S III Review

Like headphones, cases, and portable bluetooth speakers, there is a wide selection of wireless chargers for just about every major smartphone that comes out. However, very few smartphone “packs” actually double as an external battery pack as well. One such case Dapper Guide had the chance to test out recently […]

Sector 5 Black Ops Elite iPhone 5 Case Review

Sector 5 Black Ops Elite iPhone 5 Case Review

“Quality over quantity.” That simple phrase applies to all of ElementCase’s products. It sounds ridiculous to spend more than $50 on iPhone 5 case, so imagine what it feels like to take the next leap and buy a $220 one. If a Speck case is a Toyota, then the cases made by […]
