REVIEW: Ballast Point Tongue Buckler

Ballast Point and red ales, two things that I have really been digging lately. Where those two meet is this 10% ABV beast, Tongue Buckler. And that poor bastard on the label without a tongue! This is the last beer sitting in between us and the Canadian Craft beer. Let's get to it. To the beer!

REVIEW: Ballast Point Victory at Sea

Well, the saison on monday was a lovely change of pace. But today we're back to the big, roasty, hearty beers. Today I'm taking a look at Ballast Point's Victory at Sea, a 10% ABV coffee vanilla imperial porter. That sounds right up my alley. Plus, I really enjoyed the Calico Amber that I had from Ballast Point back in the summer. If you missed that one you can check it out here. To the beer!

REVIEW: Ballast Point Calico

So I find myself having created a bit of an unintentional theme this week. Monday's Ruination and Wednesday's Hop Head Red both hail from one of the greatest craft beer cities in America, (And my brother and sister in law's soon-to-be new home. No I'm not jealous, not at all.) San Diego, California. After I realized this I thought I ought to find a third for today for an impromptu San Diego beer week here on the blog. So while at the Kroger in Hyde Park (What an amazing craft beer selection for a grocery store!! I picked up some other good ones that you'll be seeing in the coming weeks) I looked for a third San Diego beer and found this one. Ballast Point Calico. An amber ale that I honestly know nothing about. But it's from San Diego! Let's hope it's tasty! To the beer!
