I ordered the Dos Equis, and it wasn't even the amber, it was the lager.

I was at a bar last night and the beer menu is pretty sparse but says it has Avery's Ellie's Brown Ale on tap. I ask the waitress for that and she says, "We are out of that one, but we have Dos Equis!"

Was the yeast old? That could have caused the issue, and dry yeast should always be rehydrated before pitching. Yeast will generally help keep other nasties from growing, so the beer likely would have been fine if the yeast had been good. I do want to point out that there are very few things...

I use Irish moss in most of the beers I brew that should be clear. I rarely cold crash, and usually have very clear beer. So no I don't believe you have to cold crash for Irish moss to clear your beer.

Back when I worked nights, there was nothing better than sitting on my front porch drinking a nice wit and smoking a cigarette while my neighbors looked at me funny.

I just made this with Colorado mountain wildflower honey. I am very excited, this is my first mead.

I also drank the tequila from the airlock after I racked it for lagering, and it was very tasty (why...

Funkwerks Tropic King - Best beer I have had in a while.

The one terrible beer I remember trying a long time ago was from the Tabernash Brewery in Denver was their weiss. I remember it tasting like dumpster juice. Truly terrible.

I plan on brewing my first batch of mead very soon, and I have a question. I plan on bottling in wine bottles with corks. I live at 8500ft, and I was wondering if I bottle at 8500ft and bring it down to sea level is there a possibility that the pressure in the bottle will be enough lower than...

The Falling Rock Tap House has an excellent variety of beers on tap. It is near Coors Field and worth the trip.
