Saint Arnold Brewing’s Bishop Barrel #4, a weizenbock aged in bourbon barrels with Tejas chocolate. Get to know it from the source.
Last week was Goose Island’s Migration Week in Atlanta. The week long GI celebration brings some crazy rare beer to each city (Bourbon County anyone) along with brewers and members of the team. You’ll see some of the beer drool Continue Reading →
Detonation cord aka “det cord” is a tube filled with Pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) a compound similar to nitroglycerin. It is used as a breaching agent for doors, or to set off bigger explosives like C4 or TNT.

The video, albeit funny, may be way off now. Canada’s lagers may be stronger (that was until Budweiser made Platinum and Black) but American craft beer now runs circles around the Great White North in ABV. I hope this starts Continue Reading →
The Vineyard at Hershey is a small winery in the countryside of central Pennsylvania. A group of friends made the decision a few years go to plant grapes on a historical 40 acre farm and open a winery. The Vineyard Continue Reading →
Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs fame has to clear the air about something. Fascinating story… and great IPA.
Dogfish Head (Milton, DE) brewed an oyster stout for a special event years ago, and thanks to the weather, they got stuck drinking all 85 kegs. Not wanting to drink another oyster stout again, founder Sam Calagione goes back to Continue Reading →

Last week was Goose Island’s Migration Week in Atlanta. The week long GI celebration brings some crazy rare beer to each city (Bourbon County anyone) along with brewers and members of the team. You’ll see some of the beer drool below.
Of all the bars and restaurants the group hit during the week, one stop was a little different. Rapper Killer Mike’s barber shop. First off, if you don’t know his rap talents, you most assuredly have heard him on OutKast’s “The Whole World” track. Plus, over the summer Killer Mike and El-P did a collaboration with Goose Island called Run the Jewels. That beer debuted at the Pitchfork Music Festival.
Killer Mike came to Chicago, brewed beer and hung out. It was time to return the favor. With beer of course.

RatedRR wrapped different lengths of det cord around full beer kegs to see what happens. 15 feet will tap it. 80 feet? That’s a different story. Some brewery out there won’t be getting their cooperage back.

The Vineyard at Hershey is a small winery in the countryside of central Pennsylvania. A group of friends made the decision a few years go to plant grapes on a historical 40 acre farm and open a winery. The Vineyard opened its doors in 2012 and was an instant hit. If the wine did so well, why couldn’t hand crafted beer? Thus, the Brewery at Hershey was born.
Below, you see our walkthrough of the Vineyard, and the early stages of construction of the craft brewery, and a little bit of the area around the brewery/winery. Upon opening their doors in early August, The Vineyard at Hershey becomes the first winery & microbrewery in the state. Flagship beers are currently draft only, and include Weize Guy Hefeweizen, Pond Jumper ASB, Hip Hops Hooray IPA, Chocolate Brown Ale. Upcoming fall offerings are Sap Sucker Maple Porter, and Pumpkin Spiced Ale.

Dogfish Head (Milton, DE) brewed an oyster stout for a special event years ago, and thanks to the weather, they got stuck drinking all 85 kegs. Not wanting to drink another oyster stout again, founder Sam Calagione goes back to his Maine roots, and brewed a different beer featuring a different crustacean – the lobster.
That, plus cocoa nibs creates Choc Lobster, a brewpub exclusive that will also be at the 2013 Great American Beer Festival.
