A Geek Tasting: Crème Brûlée Imperial Milk Stout
I first heard about Southern Tiers Crème Brûlée Imperial Milk Stout on Twitter, many moons ago. The name alone intrigued me. But then it slipped my mind. Soon it popped up on slashfood and not too long after I tripped on it when trying out a new store. This was basically the ultimate desert beer, [...]
A Geek tasting Ginga-Kogen Beer:Silver Bottle
A friend, iZathere (on twitter) and I took a trip one day in January to Mitsuwa Marketplace. It was a trip to prepare for New York Comic Con. While there I ran in to this bottle that just captured my attention, Ginga Kogen Beer:Silver Bottle. The packaging was just right. Silver Bottle is a fruity [...]
A Geek tasting Hebrew The Chosen Beer: Genesis Ale
The First Creation of Shmaltz Brewing Company ( Dedicated to Crafting Delicious Beer and Delicious Shtick… L’Chaim!) I bought this beer after seeing it around.

A Geek tasting Delirium Nocturnum
So my friend, iZathrez on twitter (who posts so very little) swings by to raid my comic book collection, suggests that it was a good day to taste a new beer, which is weird for him, but as it turns out he just wanted to see my beer spot… So, we took the trip there [...]

Subsequent to the lunacy the Perfect stout (A geek field tasting Beer)
Following about ten days of malicious and extraordinary insanity, my wife and I were finally able get a hold a moment where we could relax. My beautiful bride had the joyous and uncanny idea of visiting my favorite pub, Gaslight Brewery. The Gaslight, as we call it, is located a block northeast of the South [...]
Pairing beer with dinner called a “new trend”
It seems that some people have only recently discovered that drinking beer with a meal can actually enhance the dining experience. I came across an article titled Move over wine: Pairing beer with dinner the new trend and it struck me as odd that a drink that has been a mealtime staple for thousands of [...]
A Geek Tasting Brooklyner Weisse
A German Hefeweizen brewed by Brooklyn Brewery, New York Commercial Description: Brooklyner Weisse is a Bavarian-style wheat beer, unfiltered and chock full of spicy esters that evoke hints of cloves and fruit, some say even bananas. The beer is made with a traditional weizen yeast strain. The malt mix is half malted wheat and half [...]
A geek tasting Dundee Original Honey Brown Lager
J.W.Dundee is a different kind of beer, it’s a Lager Flavored with Honey. It’s not the only Honey Lager in existence but it’s rare, for me, and it’s different from the normal beers out there. It’s made by Dundee Brewing Company, formally known as J.W. Dundee, of Highfalls Brewing Company in Rochester New York. Smell [...]
