Trae was kind enough to drop off a pre-release bottle of the new batch of FDR for personal consumption, but I decided to just review it in time for the release this week. An interesting brew, they added coffee directly into the boil. I’ve had the opportunity to sample FDR on a few occasions over […]
Read more "Review: 405 FDR (2016)"Prairie’s second brewery-only release, Trogdor sold out incredibily quickly and since we were in Kansas City for the release, we totally missed out. Luckily there are amazing people on this planet like Freddy of Craft & Barrel and Chris of The Fur Shop (Trogdor is actually his cat) who hooked us up with a bottle for this review. Thanks, guys! […]
Read more "Review: Prairie Artisan Ales Cherry Trogdor"I’ve been holding on to an extra rare bottle of the Batch 1 Babalon (release in 2014) for a special occasion. Apparently that special occasion is Kris texting me and saying that we should drink it together. So we did! We popped a 2015 Batch 2 as well for comparison. 2015 saw a much wider release […]
Read more "Anthem Babalon Batch 1 and Batch 2 Vertical Tasting"Heck yeah a barrel aged quad from Anthem, and aged in used Festivus barrels, no less. I was uplifted by the inspirational words about the “Domestique,” the team player who only cares about the benefit of the group, and also uplifted by this boozy 10% ABV gem. Get your hands on one immediately if you […]
Read more "Review: Anthem Domestique"Anthem’s second batch of Babalon just hit the shelves, and man have I been ready for this one. I wasn’t fortunate enough to get any of last year’s incredibly limited run, so I made sure to grab a few of these to compensate. I would love to tell you I was sitting here rocking a […]
Read more "Review: Anthem Babalon"Four Roses Yellow Label Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is made from a blend of ten different Kentucky straight Bourbons, each of which is distilled and aged at the Four Roses Distillery. While five of the Bourbons are made from a mashbill of 75% corn, 20% rye and 5% malted barley (the ‘E’ mash bill), the […]
Read more "Review: Four Roses Yellow Label"Kate was recently visiting beautiful Lawton, Oklahoma for a work conference thing and decided to do a bit of dusty hunting whilst down there. True love is that feeling you have when your wife texts you that she is about to go from liquor store to liquor store trying to find something fun for your collection […]
Read more "Weller Showdown"Earlier this week, Justin and I visited Anthem Brewing Company, located in downtown Oklahoma City, to drink some beer, talk about beer, drink some more beer, and talk about Anthem. We hung out with Patrick, President and Brewmaster, and Ben, Anthem’s Brand Ambassador. I had been on a couple of tours of their facilities and […]
Read more "Barrels and Mash Field Trip: Anthem Brewing Company"First off, this isn’t the easiest bourbon in the world to figure out. We know that James E. Pepper was a real dude that used to make bourbon in the 1800s and we know the distillery he used is now the Woodford Reserve distillery. The brand made it to this side of prohibition, but was […]
Read more "Review: James E. Pepper 1776"Before we get too far into how this stuff tastes, I would like to briefly ramble about something else given that this is the first bourbon reviewed on this site from a Non-Distiller Producer. One thing you learn when you start getting into bourbon is that everything on that shelf of your local liquor store was […]
