The Guinness Open Gate Brewery near Baltimore, Maryland doesn’t just brew the ubiquitous Guinness Stout; it’s also home to an experimental brewery and taproom that cranks out a variety of distinctly non-Guinness-Stout beers.

In addition to the 750 ml bottle, the hook here is the single-serving 100 ml cans—perfect for portability, and of course my first thought was … Continue reading
A bit of a break from beer with another (canned) cocktail which arrived yesterday, Hochstadter’s Slow & Low Rock and Rye. This is essentially a pre-mixed old fashioned cocktail made with rye whiskey, and I’m always willing to try and write about such things here. Here’s a bit about Slow … Continue reading
