This month’s Session is being hosted by the Hop Talk guys, and Atmosphere was the theme they came up with: So, we want to know about the “Atmosphere” in which you enjoy beer. Where is your favorite place to have a beer? When? With whom? Most importantly: Why? Weighty topic, and … Continue reading
The other blogs have noted this already, too… I seem to be falling behind these days. The folks over at the Hop Talk blog are hosting the July Session and have announced the theme: Atmosphere. Beer is about more than flavor, IBUs, and the debate over what is a craft … Continue reading
It’s that time again: first Friday of the month, time for The Session! This month the theme is Local Brews, hosted by Gastronomic Fight Club, with the goal “to create a guide book of tasting notes to drinking local”: The idea here is to be as helpful as possible for … Continue reading

More specifically: The theme will be “The Mysterious Misunderstood Mild” to coincide with CAMRA’s May promotion Mild Month. Saturday the 5th will also be National Mild … Continue reading
I wanted to subtitle today’s Dubbels Session, "Dubbel Dubbel Toil and Trouble," but out of respect for Alan‘s running the show this month I abandoned my Bardly-themed title and went with his title. Mine was probably too nerdy, anyway. Dubbels are somewhat under-represented in my beer repertoire, so when I … Continue reading
Alan over at A Good Beer Blog is hosting April’s Session and has announced the topic: Dubbels. Good choice, but one I didn’t really see coming. It’s all good. References: BeerAdvocate, Wikipedia.
Welcome to the first edition of The Session (or Beer Blogging Friday, or whatever the ultimate name will be—probably “The Session”): a group blogging effort on the first Friday of each month where individual beer bloggers will post on the that month’s tasting theme, and one person compiles all the … Continue reading
