I always meant to get down to White Rooster in Sparta, Illinois, when we lived so close to St. Louis. Unfortunately, I never made it there. I’m not sure why. People in the metro area would blow up Untappd, raving about how good their sours tasted. I did have a stout by them at a […]
I was so lucky to get my hands on this stout from Triptych Brewing. My buddy Niles made the long trek north in Illinois to Savoy to grab a few of these. I was itching to try it. Everyone said it was fantastic. Now, I have all this hype to contend with. I’ve enjoyed the […]

Maybe not Calusa phenomenal, but a close 2nd. The only stout I’ve had was a campfire stout, and it was glorious (link below). So, when my buddy Niles made […]
I got a few bottles of this beer in December before I moved down to Florida. I shared two of the bottles, one with my IT guys before I left and the other with a friend we met down here in Tampa. Now, as I write this, it’s nearly Valentines Day. This beer was vanilla […]
