4/30 vs NYM – BOTG #23

Posted on April 30, 2012 by

I have done a poor job lately getting my reviews done on the day of the game.  Honestly, I had no idea this challenge would be so difficult.  Drinking the beer-of-the-game hasn’t been a problem until last night, but writing … Continue reading →

I had a very, very busy weekend with my son’s select baseball team.  His team was playing in a tournament this weekend (and winning), and so we ended up playing four games on Sunday on the way to the championship … Continue reading →

Posted on April 29, 2012 by

I was at Spec’s browsing around the beer section, and an employee asked me if I needed any help.  I told him I was just looking around for some new IPAs to try.  He told me that his current favorite … Continue reading →

4/27 @ CIN – BOTG #20

Posted on April 28, 2012 by

Tonight I met up with @Beer_Chris, @Kevin417, and @TreehuggingGal at Boondoggles in El Lago, TX.  It’s one of the few local pubs that has a decent craft beer selection.  I had a great time hanging out, and it was a … Continue reading →

4/25 @ MIL – BOTG #19

Posted on April 25, 2012 by

There seems to be a trend appearing for my Astros.  They keep losing the first two games of each series, and then break out the bats to take the series finale.  It happened again today as the Astros won the … Continue reading →

4/24 @ MIL – BOTG #18

Posted on April 24, 2012 by

Not every beer is available in Texas for number of different reasons. But it seems like we’re getting new breweries distributing to Texas every day. Take, for example, tonight’s BOTG from Mississippi. It’s a Southern Pecan Nut Brown Ale from … Continue reading →

4/22 vs LAD – BOTG #16

Posted on April 22, 2012 by

In honor of Earth Day, I decided to try and find a “green” beer to taste for my Beer-of-the-game. Surprisingly, there are not a lot of options to choose from. I imagine that this will change, but right now there … Continue reading →

4/21 vs LAD – BOTG #15

Posted on April 22, 2012 by

I had planned a different Beer-of-the-game for today. I was one of the lucky few to be invited to City Acre Brewing to sample some beers during their April Ale Thrill event. Today’s BOTG could have been a Gulden Squawk … Continue reading →

4/20 vs LAD – BOTG #14

Posted on April 21, 2012 by

It’s 4/20 so naturally tonight’s Beer-of-the-game is going to be SMOKEY.  See what I did there?  The name of this beer is Smoke Jumper Smoked Porter and it’s brewed by the Left Hand Brewing Company in Longmont, Colorado.  I wondered how they … Continue reading →
