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.

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.

Lord I wish I didn’t have to keep using that graphic.  You may have noticed a peculiar lack of updates recently.  it started out as the usual holiday business but has turned into to something much less (or more depending on how you feel about holiday business) enjoyable.  And as much as I would like to be drinking beer to get better, I feel that my wonky taste buds would make my usual unintelligible reviews even less so.  So do please forgive my absence as I try to overcome this malady. I will also try to track down my two other compatriots that have been missing and presumed having a better time than me.  While you are waiting though, feel free to check out our tumblr, twitter, and facebook.  oh and for those who haven’t got their Christmas shopping all taken care of, you can pick up some great TWIB merchandise in our store.

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.

Hey kids, It is cryptic review time again, and I have another selection from Goose Island for you, their Pere Jacques.  I almost had this video uploaded earlier and I noticed an unfortunate thing in the video sitting above the hallway, but I think I have it taken care of now.

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.

Hey there everybody, I’m back with another quick cryptic review.  Today I’ve got my thoughts on the Demolition by Goose Island. I also had a chance to use one of those Beer Savers bottlecaps, I’ll give you my thoughts on those a little later. But now is not the time for that, now is the time for beer.
