First off, I want to say that I totally love the Round Barn Brewery logo. There, now that that is out of the way, I can bring your attention to one of the first beers we tried at the Beerfest last month. And also reintroduce you to our friend Tricia, who seems to only show up around here for the festivals right now, but we are working on that. Anyway, Round Barn Brewery, out of Baroda, Michigan, brought us their Grape Expectations this year. Click on through to see what Tricia and I thought of it.

Cryptic Review: Anchor Steam Beer
Two posts in one week? He must have gone mad! This is not the excessively lazy man we thought we knew. Perhaps he has been replaced by an evil, albeit more productive, clone. Perhaps it is not Kristoffer at all that is behind this post, perhaps somone hacked into his account for the nefarious purpose of posting more content. Perhaps is is him, but he felt guilty for forgetting to post anything last week. Or perhaps he just wanted an excuse to drink more new beers (yeah right, I never need an excuse to drink new beers). Whatever the reason, just enjoy it, and enjoy this Cryptic review of Anchor Steam Beer, by Anchor Brewing Company.
(it was the guilt thing, sorry about missing a week) Continue reading
Cryptic Review: Ommegang Bière de Mars
There are certain things that I just cannot justify buying. Luckily, science themed beers is not one of those. Imagine my excitement when I found a beer with a big picture of the red planet front and center on its label. And a nice pun-y name is just a great bonus. So I bought the Bière de Mars from Ommegang eagerly awaiting my chance to give it a try. So I pulled up a nice beanbag chair, found a little helper to hold my camera and produced the video that you will find below.
Cryptic Review: Short’s Anniversary Ale
Sup. I sincerely hope you all had a fantastic holiday season. I have a few holiday beers that I wanted to share with you, but I decided to start off the new year with _ahem_ perhaps the best beer I had during the whole year. A bold statement indeed, but one I do believe in. If you have the occasion to try Short’s Anniversary Ale, and you let it pass by, go ahead and punch yourself in the face for missing out on it. Seriously folks, drink this beer. That is all….. well technically no, that is not all. There is a cryptic review of this fantastic beer after the break.
Cryptic Review: St Peter’s Sorgham Beer
While I continue to try to track down a bottle of Delirium Noel in Lansing, I will give you this Cryptic Review of an interesting beer made with sorghum. For those that don’t know (I didn’t) sorghum is a plant that looks kind of like wheat but smaller I guess.

So botony lesson over, check out my Cryptic Review of this interesting beer.

Cryptic Review: Goose Island Pere Jacques

Cryptic Review: Dragonmead Castlebrite
I took a nice trip into the past and dropped by my old stomping ground at Crunchy’s this week. They still have a delicious burger, and also delicious beers. One of those beers is this one, the Dragonmead Castlebrite Apricot Ale.
Cryptic Review: Jolly Pumpkin La Parcela
Boo! Did I scare you? No? Yeah, right, I knew I scared you a little. Tis the season right? Dashing thru the snow leaves and all. Yeah I know that is Christmas stuff, but Halloween doesn’t get enough love, where are the Halloween Carols? This maybe one of my favorite holidays, so I am going to celebrate with a Halloween season beer. This week I tried the La Parcela from Jolly Pumpkin, strangely enough, the first pumpkin beer that came out of the brewery that bears that squash’s name. Enjoy.
