What the Helles have we brought to the tasting table today? A Helles Bock or Maibock of course! This is the first of four beers in a new series from New Belgium Brewing called Hop Kitchen. The beer being poured today is called Hoppy Bock Lager and is made with rye (always…
With the weather already warming up (unfortunately) here in Southern Arizona we decided to Shift our palates a bit and taste something more suited to warmer days. The beer of choice today is from New Belgium and is appropriately named Shift Pale Lager. A blend of the hoppiness (Target, Nelson Sauvin, Liberty, Cascade)…
Sex Panther Double Chocolate Porter from San Tan Brewing is the beer we have at the tasting table today. We’re going to be honest with you, full disclosure as we always say. This beer was mainly purchased for two reasons: It comes in a can which we are always interested to try…
It’s Valentine’s Day for all you lovers out there and nothing says that better than chocolate. At least that’s what our wives tell us. As our gift to the viewers we have just that today in the form of the Lugene Chocolate Milk Stout from Odell Brewing. Lugene is the name of…

Rogue Brewing Voodoo Doughnut Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Banana Ale. I’m going to let that one sink in for a moment. Separately those three things are often mentioned when describing a beer and can be quite desirable depending on the style. A chocolate stout or nut brown or even a classic wheat…
After doing some extensive research (google), we discovered there are more breweries in the Las Vegas area then we thought. Maybe with all the other things people usually go to that town for the brewing culture gets lost. To help change that in some small way we have chosen the Hop Ride IPA…
Shipyard Brewing and their stable of beers are becoming a little easier to find as of late here in the southwest. They first won over our palates with the Pumpkinhead seasonal several years back.
