Rolling Rally

I cannot think of a better way to celebrate the arrival of the Stanley Cup into the streets of Boston then getting the hell out of Dodge! So we jumped in the car and drove south Saturday morning (6/18/11) to go check out Connecticut's 2nd annual Burnside Craft Beer Festival. The event scheduled approx. 60 breweries including most local Connecticut, several national, and some international vendors. We were able to taste some new brews as well as some of our favorite classics. I even had a chance to try the elusive Sam Adams Utopia! Can we say **cough** hard liquor **cough** All and all, (despite the slight fistycuffs incident - another story for another time) it was a pretty good time, with good friends, not to mention that summer finally decided to make an appearance in New England!

Happy Bunker Hill Day!

Ok, so while I'm deep in my beer history research, I've decided to start 'tasting' some new brews! I've created pages with the style of brew here in this blog. I had the privilege of testing out two beers last night and I have posted a brief opinion on them.

I first tried Peak Organic Brewing Company's Summer Session Ale Then I treied Peak's Nut Brown Ale

Finally, I've begun to post some links and lists. Check everything out! Let me know what you think too! Beifall!

In the beginning...

Hi folks,

For a few years now I've been drinking and enjoying American craft brews. My husband has been the 'aficionado' on the subject and has taught me well, but I think it's time for me to break out and start a journey all of my own.

My goal: I want to explore these brews more in-depth and share with you my thoughts, ideas, and impressions of my findings. But before I can begin this adventure, I think as a newbie, I need some sort of foundation. I will try my best to research the history of beer and the Craft Brew Movement.

Well I guess that's it for now. I hope you enjoy and please let me know what you think!

Beifall!
