“
One Ounce at a Time” is the latest episode of
One Pint at a Time.
Despite our whining about the one ounce pours, the Great American Beer Festival member’s session is now a highlight of our beer year. Beyond the vast beer choices, GABF is the one time of year where most of our beer friends from around the country gather in one place. Good beer, good friends… that’s what it’s all about.…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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!

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…

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.…

We really like Germany.
This was our ninth trip to Germany, tying it with Ireland for our most traveled foreign land.
But this trip we tried to do something different. After a few days in Munich getting acclimated to Europe, we embarked on a "City with a Beer Style" tour.
We visited three cities that have their own beer style: Dortmund, Düsseldorf and Köln. We tried to experience as much of each city's beer culture in our time there as we could. We quaffed Export in Dortmund, Altbier in Düsse…

Ales of Wales” is the latest episode of
One Pint at a Time.
We didn’t know what to expect from our journey to Wales. It was only a friend’s off-handed comment that brought us across the Irish Sea in the first place. With a little research, we learned several things about Wales; they have a strange language, there is a really tall mountain and, most importantly, there is a burgeoning craft beer movement brewing real ale.…

That's all we needed to see. And in we went.

This was our ninth trip to the Emerald Isle and she continues to be one of our favorite countries to visit. Throughout our trip, we focused on Irish Craft Beer, including ending our trip by attending the Easter Beer Festival in Cork. Over the years, we have met and befriended a number of people in the Irish craft beer community and this episode is really about their efforts to promote good bee…
