I poured 12 ounces of used motor oil into a glass and drank it. Every drop. Never hesitated for a second. Seriously this beer does look like motor oil when you pour it into a glass. It’s a deep, dark brown, almost black color with a head that has a Read more…
I was recently in Orlando on vacation and was able to try some wonderful Florida beers. Sadly, those beers are unavailable in Michigan, so I figured I talk about Short’s Autumn Ale, which is a seasonal release. Combining what seems like a standard amber ale with the earthy hoppiness of Read more…
I don’t know why I’m reviewing this ale, I’m just going to give it a 10. Seriously, this is my all-time favorite Belgian ale. I discovered it at a steak joint in Tampa, Charley’s Steak House, and I always enjoy it. My brother-in-law turned my wife and I onto Charley’s Read more…
Odd Side Ales brews some really “out there” type beers that just happen to work and be tremendously delicious. Their original Mayan Mocha stout was fantastic, so I knew I had to try their Imperial Mayan Stout. Once again, Odd Side does not disappoint with a wonderful imperial stout. It Read more…

Kind of funny: I read another review of this Ale and the reviewer stated they’d been exterminating squirrels for a long time. The reason I grabbed this beer is because I have been shooting squirrels – let me rephrase that, shooting rodents that make the world think they’re cute by Read more…
Roak is a newer brewery that was founded in 2015. They have a well-rounded catalog of beers, but today I want to talk about their Double New England Style IPA, Flavorful Five. At one better than a certain super hero group, Flavorful five does not disappoint. The thing about this Read more…
I don’t think that anyone would disagree that Founders knows a thing or two about brewing a big beer with coffee. Between their world-renowned Breakfast Stout, their “highly acclaimed” KBS and their white whale CBS (be on the lookout this winter!), it seems as if Founders’ portfolio is already chock Read more…
An Amber Ale is always a good beer to try. Often, when beer drinkers start to realize how many different beers and different styles of beer are available, an Amber Ale will sit at the top of their list of beers to drink for a while. As a beer drinker Read more…
