Pretty unique bottle, I wonder what the bottle making process is like for this. And for what the beer tastes like…

These novelty hat bottle openers always look like a fun gift, but in my experience they don’t function so well as bottle openers (even once you take the cap off).

Sixpoint solidifies their lead as the brewers to beat with the release of Apollo in 2012, just in time for summer beer season. I’ve had a few of these already, and even my friends who usually avoid craft beer are hooked…

Review via theorderofgoodbeer:

Picked up a 4-pack, expecting to be delighted by my first taste of Sixpoint’s American Pale Wheat Ale. Little did I know that those Brooklyn brewboys abandoned that style in favor of a Kristalweizen (which, after tasting, I can only assume is German for “brewed with unicorn tears & angel sweat”).

From the grassy, sweet, banana-bubblegum nose to the smooth, lemon-clove taste and the crisp dry finish, this was simply a great, great exbeerience.

What Beer should I drink in Chicago?

Want.

via theorderofgoodbeer:

It is only too appropriate that the brewery responsible for Deviant Dale’s shares it’s initials with two simple words: Outstanding. Beer.

I’ll be the first to admit, as some of you may recall, that I’ve had my share of doubts concerning those Oskar Blues folks. After underwhelming, though not altogether unenjoyable, experiences with Gubna & Dale’s Pale, I was pleasantly surprised by their Imperial Red, G’Knight; but still far from ready to hop on the beer bandwagon & proclaim OB the best thing to happen to canned beer since pop tops.

Then along comes Deviant Dale’s and… Wow. Deep golden-amber pour with a finger of thick, frothy head. That first inhale? Mmmm - loads & loads of piney, citrusy, grassy hops. Those wonderfully hoppy notes stayed right there in the taste as well, every deliciously resiny drop. Delicate lacing adorned the glass from top to bottom, each ring evidence of my pausing just long enough to come up for air.

This may not be my favorite canned craft beer, but it’s definitely a welcome addition to my top five. My hat’s off to you, Oskar, for making me a Blues-liever.

Alcoholic Beverage preferences by poltical affiliation/leaning in the U.S. I didn’t see many craft beer options in the list for their poll, but it certainly brings a whole new aspect to the candidate you most want to have a drink with: their beverage of choice.

I always thought that “chalice” crap was silly. Glad someone agrees.
