REVIEW: Stony Lukcy Basartd

So, many of you have probably had Stone's Arrogant Bastard. I cooked with it once. And you've probably had the Oaked Arrogant Bastard. I paired that one with food. There's even a chance that you've had the Double Bastard. All three of those beers are pretty tremendous. Today's beer is all of those beers at once, and something completely different at the same time. Lukcy Basartd is a blend of all three and A beer that I've been looking to try for some time now. I was able to snag a bottle at Dutch's and now I get to share my thoughts on it with you fine, respectable folks. To the beer!

Pairing Beer and Food

Trying something a bit different with today's post. My girlfriend, Meredith and I enjoy cooking together. Well, really we enjoy the eating, but the cooking can be fun too. This past weekend Meredith had it in mind to make a chicken dish using bourbon, peach preserves, and barbeque sauce and thought that we should try to pair some beer with it and that would make an interesting post for the blog. Now that's an idea I can absolutely get behind. To the beer, and the food!

REVIEW: Breckenridge Christmas Ale

I know what you're thinking. What the hell am I doing reviewing a Christmas Ale when it's damn near March? Well, first of all, Jungle Jim's was liquidating its stock of Winter beers so it was three bucks for a sixer. Also, this February seems to be as close as we're going to get to an actual winter. That's how I'm justifying it so you might as well just go with it. OK? OK. To the beer!
