Sorry folks but Spotted Cow is just not that good. I consider myself to have a very open mind when it comes to people’s taste in beer.

The school year is ending and summer is almost here. There is nothing better than a cold beer on a hot summer night. Unfortunately, many people get stuck in habits and drink the same old thing. Instead of having another Corona, try something else at your next cookout. I have four suggestions: New Glarus Totally [...] Continue Reading

Hops can be intimidating for beer novices, but these little flowers are responsible for much of the bitterness and aroma in beer.
