Video Review-Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold

in ,

Without a doubt, one of the greatest breweries I've had the pleasure of visiting is Cleveland's Great Lakes Brewing Company. Sadly, they don't yet distribute to South Carolina, but my parents had some, and I was able to wrestle away a bottle of their flagship lager, Dortmunder Gold--my mother wouldn't part with the Edmund Fitzgerald Porter. Anyway, here's my review of Dort:

 

Coming Saturday, another long-form commentary, this time on the new alcohol laws that have just taken effect in my old home state of Pennsylvania. See you then!

Video Review-Rusty Rail Rail Spike IPA-Dig the Difference!

in ,

In today's video review, I check out the core IPA from Rusty Rail Brewing Company. Check it out!

 

As a side note, I spent some time yesterday making my first video review for February, in anticipation of my observance of Booze Free February. While there will be some scaleback in video reviews for the month (I plan on 2 a week instead of 3), I intend to maintain a fairly constant level of content, even if that includes more news and possibly something like the longer-form piece I did Saturday.

Video: Sunday's Livestream, featuring Xocoveza review

in

For today's video, I am posting Sunday's livestream, where I did some testing of upgraded A/V equipment, reviewed Stone Brewing's Xocoveza stout, and talked about the short-to-medium-term future of the site.

I also cut out about 6 1/2 minutes of the A/V testing for your convenience, but there are time stamp cues in the description for the various parts of the video. Check it all out here:

Video Review: Westbrook 6th Anniversary (plus a programming note)

in , ,

I'm bringing the weekend video review early-I find it tends to be on Sundays. We'll get to the "why" on that in a moment.

First, check out the excellent anniversary offering from Westbrook Brewing Company:

In terms of tomorrow, 1/8/17, I will be doing a livestream to do some audio and video testing of my long-ignored HD camera and my new microphone that I've been using for about a week now. To keep everyone involved, I plan on reviewing Stone Brewing's Xocoveza Stout, discussing some of my lackluster video reviews from earlier in the week, and what will be coming up on the overall review front here at PRB. That will all be tomorrow night, around 8pm Eastern. Maybe a tad later. Check out Twitter and/or Facebook for up-to-date information on this livestream. Hope to see you then!

Video Review: Frog Level Lily's Cream Boy

in ,

Today's video review comes from one of my favorite breweries, Frog Level Brewing Company, and their easy-drinking Lily's Cream Boy Ale.

I updated the YouTube video description and the outro to include more contact info (adding Untappd and Instagram), and I also put in new intro/outro music. Feel free to offer thoughts on the changes. I made one error in the audio transition coming out of the intro that will be fixed tomorrow.

I am very excited for tomorrow's review. It's gonna be a big one, folks. Stay tuned.

Video Review: Christmas Beers, Part 3

in ,

Today's Christmas offerings come from Sierra Nevada Brewing Company and a mighty beer from Brouwerij St. Bernardus, a brewery I haven't had in about a year (so forgive me when I misremember the Abt 12 late in the video).

 

Coming Tuesday is one more round of Christmas beers, then a Christmas beer rankings video on Wednesday! But see you tomorrow for Beers in Review!

Video Review: Christmas Beers, Part 2

in , ,

I have a couple of heavy hitters in today's Christmas beer video. They come from Avery Brewing Company and Brouwerij Corsendonk (link to importer). This seriously might be one of my favorite reviews ever.

 

More Christmas beers to come this weekend! See you then!
