Brave New Beer World
My name is Mike. I am from a small town in New Jersey. I graduated Saint Peters College (now University) with a BA in Elementary Education & American Studies with a minor in History. I am a New York Jets, New Jersey Devils, and a Notre Dame fan. I can forgive you if you don't like them. While some people sample foods, wines, or cigars, I enjoy sampling (and finishing) a good beer. Enjoy my posts and beer reviews and hopefully you will try some of them. You can find me on Untappd at MikeyMike58 and maybe one day we'll share a pint! Cheers friends!

Fresh Start
For the few folks who actually read this, I am leaving this account. I will still be on Tumblr under s new name however. Over the last few months, I have neglected this account and have not been diligent in my postings. With this new fresh start I get to have a clean slate and commit more of my time to that. If you wish to follow my new account, I will leaving a posting up once I get that started and within the next few days will be shutting down this account.
Thank you!

Grapefruit Sculpin
Ballast Point Brewing Company
India Pale Ale
7% ABV - 70 IBU
Availability: Rotating
S: grapefruity, citrus, floral hints
T: tastes how it smells, hoppy, bitter, grapefruit is there in full force
A: golden
I am not a fan of grapefruits. However, this brew is exceptional. Enough grapefruit taste to enjoy and not be overwhelming. This is one of the best beers I have ever had the privilege of enjoying.
4.5/5

Bloodline Blood Orange Ale
Flying Dog Brewing Company
American IPA
7% ABV
Availability: Year-round
S: hoppy up front, orange/citrus to follow, floral
T: dry, hoppy start; citrus, light orange finish
A: first pour is orangey/golden, 1/1.5 finger head
At first, it was disappointing that the orange smell doesn't fully transfer to the taste. However, the after taste is somewhat orangey leaving me liking this brew. I gave it a four out of five because it was a different kind of brew for me. Overall, it's somewhere in the 3 to 4 range.
4/5

Big Brew Beer Festival
Despite the snowy conditions here in Northern New Jersey, I will be attending the Big Brew Beer Festival this evening as part of my birthday present. I will try my best to take note of what I have tried and post it sometime during the week once I have properly edited the list. I will also try my best to be very active on Untappd while I am there. You can find me on Untappd at MikeyMike58 if you're interested. I look forward to sharing what I have enjoyed with you.

I had saved many of these, thinking to myself I would find a use for them. Well, I eventually did. I attached some cork and magnets to these spare caps and made some awesome magnets. I started with only 9 and figured I could eventually do more and perhaps sell them. Still, tossing the idea around in my head. For now, enjoy the pictures!

Old Red Nose Ale Heartland Brewery Strong Ale ('Fruit/Vegetable Beer' I've seen as well) 8.5% ABV Availability: Limited (Winter) S: Hints of fruit, spice T: Some fruit i.e. fig and raisin, smell becomes the taste, you can taste the alcohol as well A: Dark, not much of a head *I first tried this brew on tap at Heartland Brewery in Time Square. From the tap is much better. My review here is reflective of the bottled version ONLY. Also, this CAN NOT be found in a store. Can only be purchased from a Heartland Brewery location in NYC. 3/5

BREAKING NEWS!
There will be a mass posting within the next few hours. I will be reviewing many of the beers I've consumed over the past few weeks. 聽These brews are of different types and from different breweries.聽
Due to other commitments, I haven't found the time to post my reviews. I feel terrible about this and feel like I have let down the few followers I do have. Trust me, I am working on getting this updated and posting at least once a week.
Again, I apologize for the lack of posts. Feel free to find me on Untappd at MikeyMike58 to see what I have been drinking as of late and don't be afraid to shoot me a follow either. Thank you!
