Another game in San Francisco means another great BOTG from Anchor Brewing.  This time I chose the venerable Anchor Porter to help me #rootrootdrink my Astros to victory. Let’s get straight to the brewer’s PR from the website.  Heck, it’s … Continue reading →

6/10 @ CWS – BOTG #60

Posted on June 11, 2012 by

Today’s Beer-of-the-game comes from Warrenville, IL which is a suburb west of Chicago.  I thought twice about using a beer from around Chi-town for this BOTG, because it seems like the Astros lose every time I drink a beer from … Continue reading →

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 →
