Dogfish Head Brews Pearl Jam Beer

February 29, 2012Erik Kain

Oh dear lord, this has got to be the coolest thing I’ve ever seen: From the brewery’s blog: Faithfull Ale is a celebration of Pearl Jam’s 20th anniversary as a band and its extraordinary debut album, “Ten.” In recognition of these milestones, this Belgian-style golden ale is delicately hopped to 20 IBUs and fruit-forward from […]

Craft Beer of the Day: Mirror Pond Pale Ale by Deschutes

January 6, 2012Erik Kain

Deschutes Brewery in , Oregon exists “to profitably deliver the finest beers in the world and cultivate extraordinary experiences” according to their website. With their marvelous pale ale, Mirror Pond, they do this just fine. Mirror Pond is my standby pale ale much as Fat Tire, from New Belgium, is my standby amber ale – […]

Craft Beer of the Day – ‘Devil’s Milk’ by DuClaw Brewing Co.

November 30, 2011Erik Kain

In the picture below you’ll see that the alcohol content of DuClaw’s barley wine style ale, ‘Devil’s Milk, used to be 10.6% abv. Apparently it used to be available in tiny little 12 oz bottles as well. The 22 oz. bottle of Devil’s Milk that I drank the other night was a full 11% abv. […]

Craft Beer of the Day – 90 Minute IPA by Dogfish Head

November 9, 2011Erik Kain

Occasionally I hear a song and think to myself “Man, why couldn’t I have written that?” This happens a lot when I listen to the Avett Brothers, actually. I think that if I were a home brewer, this is the same exact feeling I’d have while drinking Dogfish Head’s excellent ’90-Minute IPA.’ The brew is […]

Craft Beer of the Day – Snow Day by New Belgium

November 4, 2011Erik Kain

Back in 2003 I lived with my then-girlfriend (now-wife) in Denver, CO not terribly far from the New Belgium brewery up in Fort Collins. That winter there was a snow storm that ground the city to a halt. And not just Denver, but the entire foothills stretch from Colorado Springs in the south to Fort […]

Craft Beer of the Day – Belgo, by New Belgium

October 26, 2011Erik Kain

As we speak I’m working my way through a cold, crisp bottle of New Belgium’s Belgo, a Belgian style IPA, which came as one of four beers in the current Folly Pack (which also contains Fat Tire, Hoptober, and Ranger IPA.) It’s quite good. It tastes a bit like Fat Tire, but with an India […]

The Rise of Craft Beer in America

September 16, 2011Erik Kain

I’ve spilled a good deal of ink on craft beer in the past, discussing how regulations have factored into the big beer monopolies, and questioning whether small brewers need to be unionized the way the big brew shops do. I’ve also written about craft beer as it applies to the “human economy” (more on the […]
