I found a hidden gem in an offbeat section of Troy, New York: DeFazio’s Pizza.
I had stumbled upon the place using Yelp (or some other such app) on my iPhone. I was very skeptical at first having never heard of it before yet it had great reviews online. It also noted it as a BYOB. [...]

In the style of a German Maibock, using our proprietary Pacman ale yeast. Deep honey in color with a malty aroma and a rich hearty flavor.
Wow, I haven’t had one of these in ages. Probably not since the inception of Hop Talk.

I cracked open my bottle of Rogue Imperial Porter and served it with my NY Strip Steak smothered in caramelized onions & mushrooms. I had purchased this beer as part of my search for a favorite porter. Recently I noted that Victory’s Storm King Stout was closer to the porter I am seeking than any [...]

Back in October we tried an Octoberfest bake off (a taste test) and it wasn’t that successful. Nice.. not thrillin’, but nice. So when a different group of my friends suggested a blind IPA taste testing, I wasn’t very optimistic; but of course I was game anyway.
Surprise! Not only was it a great evening, the [...]

Sometimes I just have to try a beer based on the packaging. Morimoto Imperial Pilsner from Rogue is onesuch. It comes in a lovely, resealable ceramic bottle. Add to that my eldest daughter is really getting into all things Japanese and urged me to buy it.
It also turns out to have been on Ron’s Wish [...]

This is part of “The Session”. The inaugural version, actually, of a monthly day set aside by beer bloggers to post about the same topic.
This month’s topic: “This is not your father’s Irish stout.”
I have found myself drinking a bunch of stouts lately. While I have enjoyed them in the past, they really weren’t something [...]
