First off, super huge thanks to Joe Bair for setting up this meeting several months ago. Derek from Kane worked some magic and arranged for a mini-tap takeover last night. Unos cleared 8 tap lines for Derek — which is perfect amount for 2 flights. We had Donut Shack, Morning Bean, Evening Bell, Sneakbox, Head […]

Screamin’ Hill invited us out to see what they’re up to and drink some morning beers with them a couple of weeks ago. We visited them two years ago when they first opened. But, it was time to taste their latest offerings and hear about their expansion plans. This dirt to draft brewery is making […]

Yes, that’s right it’s been 20 years since Joe Bair convinced a bunch of his customers to all show up one night at The Alchemist and Barrister in Princeton. We decided the only appropriate thing to do to commemorate the milestone would be to go back to The A&B and raise a pint.

We are always really excited when local homebrewers go big time. Spellbound Brewing has done just that. They’ve got a massive space, a fantastic tasting room and — get this– their very own canning line! Check the Calendar Page for details.

Annual Styles Meeting 2014 – BOCK! BOCK!
Our annual style meeting is always a great time. We had plenty of great food and some really good beers (and some not so good). Steve Rowley led us through a wide range of beers under the heading of bock, including maibocks, dopplebocks, weizenbocks and eisbocks. You can find some pretty dicey beers brewed in these styles […]

A big thanks to Paul and Robin for having us there, and everyone who showed up and had some fun! Got pictures I haven’t posted? Send them in and I’ll […]
