Just ask the folks at Texas' Spoetzl Brewing Company, whom you likely know better for their flagship product: Shiner Bock. They're celebrating 100... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~474655395460 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 08:43:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_474655395460?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_474653101700?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Bruguru - It was hot today in Atlanta, brutally hot, and while I was out in Roswell shopping with my Beloved Barbara, it suddenly occurred to me that I was completely out of wheat beer. Not of a mind to allow this tragic state of affairs to continue, we stopped by... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~474653101700 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 21:07:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_474653101700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_474429755012?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Bruguru - So you know, when I see a beer with the name "Patriot" on it, I'm gonna buy it, right? You know you do. And not really because of the fact that I'm a New England Patriots fan (the beer in question is made in South Carolina, where they're usually Panthers... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~474429755012 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 21:20:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_474429755012?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_473851858564?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Bruguru - If you're looking for good beer in the south, you could do a lot worse than taking a trip to Asheville, North Carolina. Some might think Atlanta would be a better candidate, and while there's lots of great beer there, Asheville still gets my vote for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~473851858564 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 08:59:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_473851858564?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_473843601028?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Bruguru - Those wacky folks up in South Burlington, Vermont, have done it again. Their latest brew, a summer seasonal called, appropriately enough, Wacko, just can't be beet. Errr, or maybe it can. You see, Wacko is a bit different than your average beer,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~473843601028 Sat, 13 Jun 2009 20:52:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_473843601028?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_473521950340?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Bruguru - It's hard to think of a style of brew that Boston Beer, makers of the Samuel Adams line, hasn't released yet. Indeed, not only have they covered most of the beery bases, they've even invented a few of their own (Cranberry Lambic or Blackberry Wit,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~473521950340 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 23:27:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_473521950340?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_469728005764?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Bruguru - Last December, I got an e-mail from the folks at the Terrapin Brewery announcing the latest in their series of one-off brews, something they call the Side-Project series. The current brew, fourth in the series of releases, was called Dos Cocoas... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~469728005764 Mon, 8 Jun 2009 08:35:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_469728005764?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_472957816452?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Bruguru - Hi Neighbor! Have a ‘Gansett! If you live in New England, that's a slogan you probably heard a lot before 1981, even if you were too young to drink beer (as I was then). That's because this was the slogan of the Narragansett Brewing Company, which... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~472957816452 Fri, 5 Jun 2009 22:50:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_472957816452?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_469737639556?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Bruguru - You might be surprised at just how complicated making a beer can be. Most beers, after all, are made from a blend of malts, a collection of hops, and sometimes, a variety of yeast strains. Each add their own distinct fingerprint to the finished product,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~469737639556 Tue, 12 May 2009 10:37:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_469737639556?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_469064322692?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Bruguru - Back in February of 2008, the Mendocino Brewing Company of Ukiah, California released a new beer: a spring seasonal bock. Stylistically, they called it a "Spring Bock", otherwise referred to as pale bock or Maibock. Such beers are a variant of the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~469064322692 Fri, 8 May 2009 06:39:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_469064322692?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_469156335236?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Bruguru - As one of the two Category Leads in Epinions Restaurants and Gourmet department, I get requests to add new products all the time.

I respectfully disagree with them, of course, because I think fruit and beer go together like Laurel and Hardy, Abbot and Costello, or Bush and Cheney. Well, like the first two pair... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~468182929028 Fri, 1 May 2009 18:46:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_468182929028?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_468719996548?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Bruguru - Walking into a beer store and seeing a new brew is nothing new to me. Why, breweries everywhere roll out new and exciting products all the time to pique the interest of their various and sundry clientele. It's gotten to be almost a modus operandi in the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~468719996548 Wed, 29 Apr 2009 23:07:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_468719996548?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_468537282180?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Bruguru - With the success of 1983's "V" , it was inevitable that a sequel mini-series would pop up. After all, the first go-around left viewers with a cliff-hanger ending, causing them to wonder how... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~468537282180 Tue, 28 Apr 2009 09:02:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_468537282180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_467495390852?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Bruguru - I must admit that I approached Weyerbacher Fireside Ale with a bit of trepidation-not because I have had a negative history with Weyerbacher beers of course-far from it. It's just that I read the words "An intriguing dark ale with a touch of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~467495390852 Sat, 25 Apr 2009 19:15:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_467495390852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_467987500676?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Bruguru - I had an important letter to send. And, fool that I am, I trusted the United States Postal Service to deliver it. Hey, I thought, if I use their premiere service, Express Mail, even they can't muck it up, right?

It announced the release of a series of "Imperial" beers, strong and heart brews with amped up alcohol content, flavor, and aroma.

Spock's father, Sarek, was perhaps the most famous, while the incorrigible rogue... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~467445255812 Sat, 18 Apr 2009 11:27:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_467445255812?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_466983620228?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Bruguru - Human beings tend to measure time in very short increments. One hundred years may seem like an eon; 200 must certainly be eternity. But to the Earth, such minor periods are but the blink of an eye in a planetary lifespan that spans billions of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~466983620228 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 08:56:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_466983620228?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_466772332164?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Bruguru - The concept of alien invasion is no stranger to the media of movies. Usually, though, we pitiful humans have the deck stacked heavily against us by the fearsome onslaught of overwhelming technology.

Comic book movies are all the rage, and show no sign of slowing down in their endless parade across the silver screen.

But for some reason, it's not that easy to find a good locally brewed one here in Georgia. Maybe because of that my porter radar is always beeping whenever I come across a new one: it certainly did when I happened upon a display of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~464541617796 Thu, 2 Apr 2009 00:09:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_464541617796?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_465298165380?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Bruguru - World War II, and you are there. Or, more correctly, Erhard Raus was. Reading his memoirs, however, Panzer Operations: The Eastern Front Memoirs of General Raus, 1941-1945, leaves one with the feel of actually having been in Russia right alongside... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~465298165380 Tue, 31 Mar 2009 08:31:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_465298165380?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_465266708100?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Bruguru - Poor Bruce (Johnny Yune). That's not even his real name, but since he looks so much like Bruce Lee, people call him that anyway. Or, as he likes to say, "They call me Bruce." And Bruce just seems to have no luck.
