I am picking up Tepa-Sahuayo’s sales pitch. For singles at Shoppers they carry a few nice German Imports from Pinkus and Ayinger, some interesting Saisons which are 750ml above the case and are belgian country ales plus a...

Or try saisons—they’re really great in the summer. Saison Dupont is a good, generally available beer that’s great with a slice of lemon.

Not the neighborhood but Waterfront Ale House on 2nd Ave and 30th Street. Both beers and food are great.

Well Skip’s is hardly “hidden” but sometimes is taken too much for granted. I agree with you on Hennepin. IMO, is the best U.S. Saison ale I’ve had and drink it often. Btw, if you’ve never been to...

I noticed today the San Francisco Costco is now carrying a box of 18 beers labeled “Belgium's Best.” What it is actually is a six-pack each of Stella Artois, Leffe Blond, and Hoegaarden’s White Ale, all for...

Anything from Deschutes- this time of year I’m partial to their Twilight Ale. But really... who am I kidding? I’m gonna take over my latest homebrew batch (Saison, this week) and sit around expectantly waiting for...

ale. The strong herb and fruit notes of the Saison paired exquisitely with the themes of the meal. It is rare to find a restaurant with a beer menu so well suited to the cuisine. Mrs. Mousse ordered a Cucumber Fresca Martini,...

The first post on the new Beer board! The urge to leave my footprints in the fresh snow is overwhelming. Winter beers – Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Brooklyn Lager. I like hoppy beers so Sierra is tops on the list. Liberty Ale...
