Stone Brewing collaborating with anybody gets our attention. When we first saw this 13th Anniversary collaboration with Bottleworks we thought, “Who is Bottleworks?” I know plenty of our listeners may be letting out a collective sigh that we haven’t heard of this apparent Seattle landmark carrying over 950 beers and several rotating taps.…
We finished last week with a sesonal beer from Ballast Point that was quite delicious so why not start the week with another. The Tongue Buckler is an Imperial Red Ale with, as the labels says, has “More and more malt than any land lubber can handle.” With off the scale IBUs and…

Lost Abbey and New Belgium have gotten together to create a beer for part of the Lips of Faith collection simply called Brett Beer. The Brett being short for brettanomyces which if you’ve been…
Still on the hunt for even more delicious sour beers, even after all the we have had over the last two weeks, we bring to the tasting table today a Flemish red ale. The Duchesse De Bourgogne from Brouwerij Verhaeghe is made in the traditional style of aging in oak casks. This beer…
Just a little reminder of what will be going on at AboutBeverages.com for the week of August 20th – August 26th 2012. We apparently haven’t finished with the sour beer style so we have two more this week. It all starts on Tuesday with a “Give It A Shot” featuring the Duchesse De…
