I spotted this UK beer during a recent beer expedition. Sure wish I hadn’t. The taste reminded me of my first attempt at home brewing, which yielded a nasty yeast-infused swill. If this is what comes from organic ingredients, make mine non-organic.

Traffic was pretty heavy for parts of the ride, so the group got spread out [...]

I picked a great combination for this evening’s tasting on the balcony.
But before we turn to this night’s tasting, a word about humidors. I have a number of humidors, but none work as well as my large five-drawer model. It seems slightly counterintuitive, but it is far easier to control the humidity in this large [...]
