Another day, another dollar, and another collaboration brew from Stone Brewing and friends. More Brown Than Black IPA is from the collective brain trust of Ninkasi, The Alchemist, and Stone. The idea was to create a beer that was still very hop forward, but not quite as roasty and dark as a black…
Just a little reminder of what will be going on at AboutBeverages.com for the week of March 19th – March 25th 2012. We go a little bit darker this week with our two Vidcasts, but we don’t get away from one of our favorite beverages, beer. The video fun begins on Tuesday with…
I can’t believe I didn’t realize this earlier, but this has been IPA week here at the website. So to finish things off we have the Ruthless Rye IPA from Sierra Nevada. Rye beers are something we have only recently been exposed to, but so far seem to be quite interesting. It…
The old saying goes “Try it again for the first time”. Let’s just hope it goes better for our second go round with the Ranger IPA from New Belgium. We tried this beer almost two years ago and did not like it, but due to some listener comments and a recent tasting by…
