Boulder, Colorado-based Sanitas Brewing Company recently released a new specialty IPA, Mama Peaches IPA, which was brewed to celebrate the birth of Sanitas co-founder Michael Mimsic’s first child. Last month, before the COVID-19 restrictions hit, I received a six-pack of Mama Peaches as part of the PR roll-out with Sanitas’ … Continue reading
It occurs to me that as we’re all sitting at home drinking beer under the COVID-19 social distancing orders, we may not be getting the daily activity in that we’re used to. (Especially those of us with desk jobs working remotely, like I’ve been for over a week now.) So … Continue reading
I know we’re all under relative lockdown from coronavirus right now, but we can still read about beer, and my latest article for the Bulletin came out on Sunday, in which I profile the new raspberry porter from Silver Moon Brewing, Raspberry Nights: Head brewer Jeff Haskins started by tinkering … Continue reading
Block 15 Brewery, based in Corvallis, Oregon, is one of the best and probably most underrated (and under the radar?) breweries in the state. The brewery consistently puts out a wide range of beers across all styles, from classics to experimental IPAs to incredible sour and wild beers. I have … Continue reading

So I guess if you like peanut butter, grab a … Continue reading
Bend’s Crux Fermentation Project recently released a new year-round beer in its simply-named Crux IPA, billed as “an everyday India pale ale.” It’s certainly a sessionable IPA at only 5.8% alcohol by volume (though it’s not targeting the “lifestyle” niche) and interestingly, it is only available in cans with no … Continue reading
Awhile back I’d received several bottles of Crabbie’s Ginger Beer, which I’ve had at some point in the distant past but never reviewed. It’s brewed with real ginger (steeped on it for six weeks), as well as four other secret ingredients. Here’s a bit about the beer and the label … Continue reading
My latest article for The Bulletin came out on Sunday, in which I delve into the ancient braggot style of honeyed beer. In particular, I dig into the new Braggot released by The Ale Apothecary. I was able to slip in a mention of Eugene’s Viking Braggot Company as well. … Continue reading
Okay, this is hilarious (and real). Deschutes Brewery announced today the release of a “mega beer” for the upcoming National Protein Day on February 27. It’s a lifestyle beer but at the same time, sort of the “anti-lifestyle” beer in terms of the low-cal, low-carb craze. The idea is akin … Continue reading
