PRB Video: River Rat Brewery's 3rd Birthday Party!

in ,

As promised, I am glad to bring you a recap and some highlights from the 3rd birthday party of River Rat Brewery here in Columbia!

Before we get to the video, I must apologize for the two cardinal sins I committed in this video. The first is a production sin: filming vertically with my phone. I think this is the first live event for which I've actually done video, so I am learning, and will not make this mistake again. Promise. The second mistake is about midway through the video, when I refer to a beer as a "double" instead of a Dubbel. My bad.

As mentioned in the video, I tried many River Rat beers at the event, and they will be making their way to some Beers in Review posts in the not-too-distant future!

Enjoy the video! (You better--it was a pain in the butt to make!)

Video Review: Catching Up With Everyone Else

in , ,

In today's video review, I check out the much-reviewed Sierra Nevada Brewing Company Tropical Torpedo. It seems like every BeerTuber on the planet checked this beer out during my personal Booze-Free February, so I finally get caught up with everyone else. Check out my thoughts on the beer, as well as notes on upcoming goings-on here at PRB.

Video Review: Just Like Riding a Bicycle

in ,

So, Booze-Free February has ended for me. It went fine. Honest.

But it's March 1st, which means I'm back on the review scene! And I lead off with a collaboration between Against the Grain in Louisville, Kentucky and Magic Rock Brewing out of the United Kingdom. Now, my palate needs to get used to beer again, and re-calibrate a bit, but I think I got the gist of this beer out. Check out my thoughts on Shades of Grey here:

 

I will be back tomorrow, with ANOTHER video review, getting me back on my normal thrice-weekly schedule! See you then!

Video Review: An Entry from Yards

in ,

Greetings, all. It's been a few days. I now bring you a review of Yards Brewing Company's very good IPA. Check it out!

 

As a programming note, if my internet decides to work with me, I might do a YouTube live stream around 8pm Eastern for a little while. I have a brief commentary I want to discuss, and I will talk about the next things up for PRB after the alcohol-free month of February concludes. Keep an eye on www.twitter.com/pourlyreviewed for info on whether this will be happening or not!

Video Review: Yes, a Cider!

in ,

As you can tell by the title, I'm throwing a curve ball for today's video review (which I want to get uploaded while my interwebs aren't on the fritz). It is a cranberry cider, and it comes from Wyndridge Farms, not far from where I went to school! Also, I invoke the late, great Rowdy Roddy Piper in this video. Check it out!

Video Review: It DOESN'T Taste Like a Potato!

in ,

So, it's started. The dark times. The dry period. Whatever you want to call it. I call it "Booze-Free February".

But when you have responsibilities like a beer blog, the show must go on. As I mentioned in a few videos, I have created a back catalog of reviews to get through the month of February. In addition, you will see more news round-ups and commentaries, including one coming tomorrow (Sunday, 2/5/17).

But for today, I bring the first of this month's TWICE-weekly (instead of THRICE-weekly) video reviews, this one coming from Lagunitas Brewing Company. Enjoy, and I'll see you tomorrow!

Video Review: Stone Lukcy Basartd

in ,

In today's video review, I bring you one beast of a beer from Stone Brewing. It is the terrific 2016 edition of Lukcy Basartd, the blend of Arrogant Bastard, Double Bastard, and Oaked Arrogant Bastard. If my enthusiasm doesn't show through on the video, it's because I was putting all my energy into trying to break down everything going on in that glass. But this is a mighty beer, and it is excellent. Let me tell you more here:
