Here’s a press release that could even tie in with my Colorful Beer Week this month (it’s a "Golden" Ale). I remember seeing this beer on the Brewery’s Pub-exclusive list; apparently they were experimenting with the recipe.

I’ll be running the official press release too, but first I wanted to post the pictures of the package. You see, it wasn’t … Continue reading
I cracked open the promotional bottle of Long Hammer IPA the other night and enjoyed it while sitting out on the back patio. I didn’t do a formal review this time around, but I can definitely say there were juicy hop notes, enjoyable toasted malt character, and it’s easily drinkable … Continue reading
