Do you like cream in your coffee? If so, you may be a fan of Samuel Adams Cream Stout, a dark brew that goes down surprisingly easy.
Thick in more than appearance, this cream stout pours a deep chocolate brown with a tan, foamy head that lingers for a few minutes. Upon settling, a healthy amount of lacing sticks to the serving glass.
Its scent is reminiscent of R… Click to read more

If there’s one thing everybody on Planet Earth can agree on, it’s that lukewarm beer is the absolute worst. Sure, some beer is better when standing for a few minutes. But who wants a brew (or any carbonated drink for that matter) at room temperature?
Ice? Forget it. All ice leaves you with is a cool-but-severely-diluted beverage.
We need an alter… Click to read more

Blech. Even writing about Old Milwaukee conjures up visions of pit-fires down at “The Quarry” back in high-school.
(Oh, Iris – come back to me, my darling…)
It’s funny: I’m a big-fan of cheapo beer when the mood hits, but Old Milwaukee just turns my stomach. Maybe it’s that I’ve been weaned on the skunked… Click to read more

One of the first things every college student should locate when they hit campus is the best place to catch the game. Sure watching it in your room with a bag of Cheetos can be fun, but nothing beats catching it with a few thousands of your classmates. And the students on these campuses have it way better then the rest.… Click to read more

F*** Russell Stover and other ho-hum variety pushers – beer samplers are where it’s at.
Magic Hat’s “Night of the Living Dead” sampler is a 12-pack stacked with 4 different beers at 3 beers per brew (do the math; it’s rad). The varieties in tow are #9, Circus Boy, Jinx and the most intriguing of all, Mystery Beer.
First u… Click to read more

Fun fact: Blue Moon is a Coors product. Some may know this, but it’s important enough to bring up when reviewing this very un-Coors like brew.
Blue Moon, a white beer, has a carbonated-pulp look not unlike Orangina. And funny enough, it also has a citrus-infused taste that’s usually complimented by a slice of orange when served at certain bars. W… Click to read more

All hail old-timey traditions that include things like…beer!
I’ve been trying for over 24 hours to enter this site. Now that it’s up and running, feast your eyes and taste buds on the future of pizza.

I can barely carve an eye into a pumpkin, let alone the Death Star.

Yuengling, the yeast from the east. Not many west-coasters have experienced the cheap-yet-digestible taste that America’s Oldest Brewery provides.
Similar to Coors in its smoothness Yuengling is a staple of Northeastern frat-parties and post-college keggers. Its neutral taste hardly offends, with decent head and a nice honey-grain finish. G… Click to read more

All of this Halloween talk and fall weather had me reaching for one beer last night: Red Stripe. A summer-styled lager in the near-winter month of October? Why not?
Red Stripe Jamaican beer is known for its spiced flavor and smooth finish. This lager has a large stable of enthusiasts due to its unique taste and stubby bottle. The famous Red Stripe “bitte… Click to read more

I enjoy Budweiser as much as the other guy, but Natural Ice should wipe it out of existence. Why go for the best when you can go for the…rest?
Natural Ice (Nasty Ice; Natty Ice for the enlightened) is Bud without the working-man’s price (read: tailor-made for college). A 12-pack costs as much as most sixers and gets you off-the-rocker drunk.
