Washington beer community loses a true icon, Dick Young

Over the weekend, Dick Young, one of the true icons of Washington brewing passed away from an aneurysm at his lodge in Lewis County, Washington. While the eponymously named Dick's Brewing Company may not be even close to one of the biggest breweries in the state, you cannot consider yourself a lover of great beer if you have never had a Dick's. Their flagship Dick Danger (Dick's favorite) is the perfect beer after day of skiing/snowboarding. A cross between a pale ale and a porter, it is not too… Continue

Our Maine Travel Report

Our trip to Maine was the last of three successive quickie beer trips. Centered on Portland, Maine's largest city and brewing center, we also managed visits to breweries in small town Maine during our short visit. In our two day visit, we experienced Maine's craft beer pioneers such as Geary's and the Great Lost Bear plus the newcomers Novare Res Bier Café and Maine Beer Company. And we ate a lot of lobster too. We both reached the 500 brewery mark on the trip. Chris added eight breweries (503… Continue

Writing About Beer... While Drinking One

Sorry about the typos, but whenever I have a tasty Heineken (wow, I spelt it right) my typing goes out the window (or into the urinal). SO far, this site has been a detriment to my getting any work done, good thing I am self employed, because I would fire my butt. I come on here to see who has been visiting my profile, see a couple of nice tasty ales in the photos, and then I forget about working and run to the fridge for a cold Heiney! My taste buds are dancing for joy as I slug down a quarter… Continue

New beergeek.TV Episode - Three Days in the Big Apple

“Three Days in the Big Apple” is the latest episode of One Pint at a Time. This was our first trip to New York City. We always try to maximize the experiences in our beer travels but, even for us, the list for this trip was ambitious. We had 32 beer places to visit and only three days to do it. Turns out, the number wasn’t our biggest obstacle to reaching our goal. So enjoy our f… Continue

Building a portable kegerator.

I'm building a portable kegerator from plans found in a brewing magazine. There is one thing I couldn't figure out how to do easily. The kegerator will hold three corny kegs. I don't want to leave the gas cylinders out where prying hands can mess with the pressure. I found a large "salesman's" clothing case on wheels, and it will fit two CO2 cylinders. So now I will be able to cool the kegs, and keep the gas away from people that like to mess with things they shouldn't. Gary Continue

Different types of beer

All beer lovers out there, you must have drank many many mugs of beer over the years. Have you noticed that sometimes they taste different than what you have had earlier that’s because there are different kinds of beer and most people here probably know that. Here is a list of beer varieties I know about. You may discover a new variety or feel free to add a variety of beer you know about: • Banana beer: a beer made by fermenting mashed bananas This variety of beer is popular in Kenya, Uganda and… Continue

Complete Beer Novice Knows What She Likes

Okay...so you'll figure out that I'm a complete beer novice because I barely know the names of beers, but I know what I like and don't like. This blog is going to be devoted to trying different beers at breweries. I'll try them and report back on the experience, the food and of course the taste of the beer. Beer is so filling that I can only have one, so I pick carefully. First lets start with what I DON'T like: Coors, Bud Light or Michelob would be at the top of that list for me. They taste… Continue

Ode to a Draft

Being a beer poet, I thought i would write a poem that is an ode to a draft: Ode to A Draft: Oh beer, in your glorious wonder as you sit in front of me in the glistening frosty glass You taste so smooth your color like honey so freshly brewed you entice me taking each sip one by one enjoying all your flavors your hops are making me sing :) Do you like my beer poem? Well, if you can do better than I want to hear yours! Continue

Our New York City Travel Report

We survived our first visit to the Big Apple. And I do mean "survived." It was a great time. We met a lot of nice people and drank a lot of tasty beers that we don't get out here in California. There was just one problem: the weather. It dominated the whole trip. We used to dread rain when we were on our beer travels. Now, we know there is a bigger nemesis, humidity. We arrived in New York City with a list of 32 beer places to visit. We knew we weren't going to reach them all but it was fun t… Continue

New beergeek.TV Episode - Three Cities, Three Styles

“Three Cities, Three Styles” is the latest episode of One Pint at a Time. We are firm believers in beer needing to be tried in context of its culture. “Three Cities, Three Styles” was born out of this belief. We visited three German cities, Dortmund, Düsseldorf and Cologne, that each has it’s own unique style of beer. Over three days, we got to experience each beer style in the place of its birth. That is something special.… Continue

10 Reasons why I'm giving up Beer Blogging.

Hi, friends. You may have noticed that as of late I’ve slowed down my beer blogging considerably, and I have a very good reason: I’ve slowed my beer consumption considerably, and may very well stop drinking altogether. Before continuing, I want to say that I still very much love the craft beer movement, many of my friends and colleagues who enjoy, photograph, tweet, and blog about beer, and that I’ll still raise a glass with you, I just might not have any beer in mine. I want to especially tha… Continue
