Game 2 of the day/night doubleheader means I need another BOTG.  Luckily, my friend Kevin hooked me up today with two of his homebrews.  One is a black IPA and the other is a barleywine.  I’m going to go with … Continue reading →

5/28 @ COL – BOTG #48

Posted on May 28, 2012 by

I have the perfect BOTG for Memorial Day.  It’s called Homefront IPA from Saint Arnold Brewing Co.  When I heard that Saint Arnold was making a special release beer with 100% of the profits going to Operation Homefront I knew … Continue reading →

5/25 @ LAD – BOTG #45

Posted on May 26, 2012 by

These road games on the west coast have been rough on me the last several years. Maybe I’m getting old, or maybe the 3 kids are wearing me out. I just can’t stay awake for the entire game when it … Continue reading →

5/22 vs CHC – BOTG #43

Posted on May 22, 2012 by

One of my favorite things about beer these days is the awesome names that brewers are giving their beers.  Some are kinda crazy like Blaecorn Unidragon from Clown Shoes Brewing Co.  Others use a crowdsourced idea that fits their city … Continue reading →

The 42nd BOTG is called Rodeo Clown Double IPA from Karbach Brewing here in Houston, TX.   I chose it because it’s from Houston, and I wanted to get some good karma going to get the Astros back on track.  Now I’m … Continue reading →

5/16 vs MIL – BOTG #37

Posted on May 16, 2012 by

I have tried to keep this blog interesting by occasionally tasting beers from the Astros’ opponent’s home state.  I had planned for tonight’s BOTG to be from Wisconsin.  You know, cause the Milwaukee Brewers are from Wisconsin.  But you know … Continue reading →

5/14 @ PHI – BOTG #35

Posted on May 14, 2012 by

My Astros are in a slump.  I’m drinking as many beers as I can, but it just doesn’t seem to be helping.  I’ve tried IPAs, stouts, porters, pilsners, lagers, and hefeweizens.  Not even saisons seemed to make a difference!  Should … Continue reading →

Another guest post! I asked Colleen if she would mind drinking some beer while she watched the Pirates/Astros game today, and surprisingly it wasn’t hard to convince her at all. I’m at a wedding in Austin and posting this from … Continue reading →

Tonight my sister-in-law came into town, and the whole family gathered together to talk and catch up on all that’s been going on with her and her husband in Dallas.  The craft beer scene is blowing up in Dallas almost … Continue reading →
