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 […]

Why Is DC Cracking Down On Food Trucks?

January 12, 2012Erik Kain

Sometimes it’s the small innovations that make all the difference. In the world of food this can mean many different things but one of the biggest innovations in how food vendors do business in recent years is the food truck. Light-weight, mobile, and able to cater to a niche customer base, the food truck is […]

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. […]

The Bizarre American Obsession With White Turkey Meat

November 24, 2011Erik Kain

The reason I have no hope for America is that the vast majority of Americans prefer white turkey meat to dark turkey meat. I realize that there’s no accounting for taste, but I also realize that dark meat is simply far, far tastier. It’s juicier, more flavorful, and thanks to the unnaturally large-breasted turkeys that […]

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 […]

In Defense of Cheap Wine

November 6, 2011Erik Kain

Brian Palmer has an interesting piece in Slate making the case for cheap wine. It turns out that in Germany, the average wine drinker only spends about $1.79 on a bottle of wine, whereas here in the states an “everyday” bottle runs about $15. This is despite the fact that basically nobody can tell the difference between […]

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 […]
