Barquentine Brewing. It’s really the name that got me there. It sounded French, and I was longing for a good Belgian-style beer. To be frank, I didn’t do much research before going, but it turns out I was right at least on one account: They have good Belgian-style brews! As for the name, we’ll get back to that later (but hint hint, it’s French but used in English and the Belgian inspiration is real). Continue reading “Embark on the beer journey”
Rob Lightner, co-founder of East Brother Beer Co. will explain in a second. It has nothing to do with brothers at all, but it’s still a very good friendship story nonetheless. Continue reading “East Brother from another mother?”
Yeah I know. This title is lame and cheesy, but I just couldn’t help it. I found Lost Coast Brewery in Eureka, CA! Continue reading “Eureka! I found Lost Coast!”
The beer scene in Colorado Springs is on fire! My friend and I went to Pikes Peak for a quick visit back in early June and decided to stop by a brewery afterward. We looked online and found a slew of craft breweries. We finally decided on Goat Patch Brewing and we did not regret it! What a cool spot! Continue reading “BBD “sits down” with bearded brewer”
My friends recently took me to a brewery in Denver called Bruz Beers. They specialize in Belgian-style beer and their taproom at York and Colfax is a pretty cool spot to hang out and grab a couple. Continue reading “Belgian Bruz in Denver”
They were going to have their grand opening back in March but then the pandemic hit. Change of plans. Continue reading “Let’s open a brewery, but first…Covid-19”
Horse & Dragon… It brings back so many good memories. I visited their brewery in Fort Collins, CO back in November and liked ALL of their beers. How often does that really happen? This is high-definition craft beer, folks. In short, I’m a fan! Continue reading “Horse & Dragon: HD craft experience”
Once in a while you come across something truly special… not that all craft breweries aren’t special in one way or another in my eyes, but this one really gave me all the feels. You how what I mean… I introduce to you Gyppo Ale Mill! Continue reading “A little “lost” (and found!) gem”
So I entered the taproom on a Friday afternoon. I had driven in some crazy rainstorm for about two and a half hours from Milwaukee when I finally got to Four Fathers Brewing in Valparaiso (Valpo if you are a local or just don’t want to shoot yourself in the foot trying to pronounce the full thing right). Continue reading “Indie beer in Indiana”
There I was thinking Martinez, CA didn’t have any craft breweries. I stand corrected. To be fair, there wasn’t any the last time I had visited. It now has two (next to each other) with another one on the way. That’s exactly the kind of expansion a craft beer nerd like me gets super excited about. This time, I stopped by Del Cielo Brewing and was pleasantly surprised. They make truly great brews and I love the warehouse-type atmosphere! I didn’t get to meet the owners in person that day, but I reached out to them and they took the time to answer my questions. Luis, you’ve got the floor!
