This week we are taking another quick break, but we will be back soon with lots of new beers for you to try. Perhaps we will even try something special in the meantime. Perhaps a live show. maybe Sunday. Just maybe.

Cryptic Review: Avery Old Jubilation
Welcome everybody, I have a new cryptic review for you. We’re trying out another new camera this time. We’ve been looking to upgrade for a while now, but the last ones we looked at kind of sucked (which is why you haven’t seen our fantastic interview with Capitol Brewing Company yet. Bet here is another try, this time a cryptic review of Avery Brewing Company’s Old Jubilation. enjoy.

Cryptic Review: Alhambra Negra
Hey everybody, how was your vacation? What? You didn’t just take a vacation? Oh, that was me? You know, you are right. I remember now, in fact, I have proof of my recent travels. I found video evidence that I was in Chicago in the not too distant past. Although there are no real landmarks to prove it, just trust that this cryptic review is from the windy city.

And on an unrelated note, Tailgating season has started! Be sure to get your official Thisweekinbeer Tailgate shirt at our special items store. This is different than our Cafe Press Store, and will contain a rotating selection of special items.
The shirt is alot funnier if you’ve seen this video after the break (NSFW Language, put your headphones on)

Another review from my recent canoe trip, this time Boddington’s Pub Ale. I have seen this stuff in the store all the time, but never bought any. I figured this was a good a time as any.

Cryptic Review: Frog Island Chocoberry
It’s not a candy, or a breakfast cereal (though that could be delicious), it’s beer. One of the many new flavors I tried at the Summer Beerfest was that of the Chocoberry by Frog Island Brewery.
