By Iron Chef Leftovers Today’s beer takes us in the way back machine 6 months to a warmer and sunnier time in Seattle – June, specifically the summer solstice*. I had forgotten about these notes as they are buried in the middle of my notebook, but Populuxe brewed a pale ale to celebrate the Fremont […] By Blaidd Drwg Hall of Fame ballots were sent out the other day and this may be the most stacked ballot in the history of the HOF voting, with no less than 8 legitimate HOFers (steroid argument aside) on the ballot and I would argue of the 36 guys who are on the ballot, at […] by A.J. Coltrane Chuck Armstrong has retired from his position as President of the Mariners. I think there are more than a few fans who feel that the M’s leadership has been … lacking … for many, many years. They feel that the M’s have been more interested in profits than in putting a strongly […] By Iron Chef Leftovers I am a sucker for blood orange anything – I just really love the flavor. Back during the Beers of the Apocalypse series, Elysian brewed a blood orange IPA that was outstanding, so I couldn’t wait to try their blood orange pale ale – Superfuzz.

Some have been good (Elysian) and some not so good (also Elysian). I was excited when Reuben’s decided to do one as part of a Seattle Beer […] by A.J. Coltrane Previous post here. It’s been getting down into the 20’s at night. The brussels sprouts are decidedly unhappy about it: I decided to hedge my bets and harvest them before they started to look even worse: The cool-weather herbs and vegetables in the plant house seem no worse for the […] By Iron Chef Leftovers A few months back, the NW Peaks Mountainbeers were both pale ales, brewed with different hop varieties. I was excited for both of them, but especially for the Silver Pale Ale, which included spruce tips in the beer. From the NW Peaks Website: The name. The mountain. Like one of the […] By Iron Chef Leftovers Alaskan Brewing makes some pretty solid beers, but where they really excel is with their Pilot Series beers. These beers are small production, big beers which usually rate as outstanding brews and in a bunch of cases, age really well. One of their spring Pilot Series beers over the last few […] |
