The Wednesday Blogshare

I don't have a review lined up for today, so I think I'm going to start a Wednesday Blogshare, where I'll be posting links to articles from some of the blogs/review sites I follow.  Enjoy!

BrewChief:  These guys are great at writing up reviews of beers.  They know how to describe a beer in such a way that you can almost see it, smell it, and taste it.  Click here for their review of Harpoon Brewery's 100 Barrel Series #42 Ginger Wheat!

Beer-Stained Letter:  A website and blog devoted to New Jersey's beer industry.  The link leads you to Beer-Stained Letter's article about the new brewery and brewpub laws the NJ governor recently signed into law.  Click here for the article!

Ghost Drinker:  I have only recently been following Ghost Drinker's blog, but I like what I've been reading so far.  Here's an article Ghost Drinker wrote about the different styles of IPAs as seen through his eyes.  Just follow this link to Ghost Drinker's article!

In Search of Beer:  A beer blog centered in the Philadelphia area, In Search of Beer recently attended Yards Brewing Company's "Smoke Em If Yous Got Em" event, which showcases smoked food and beers.  You can find his article here!

Kaedrin Beer Blog:  The Kaedrin Beer Blog is another blog that is new to me.  His reviews are enjoyable to read and thorough.  Here's a review he wrote on St. Bernardus's limited release beer Tokyo. 

Enjoy and follow these other blogs, they are full of good stuff!

BJCP: Strong Scotch Ale (9E)

This is the first article in a new series of posts, where I will periodically choose a section from the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) style guidelines , write about the style, and then drink and publish my tasting notes from some of the commercial examples given by the BJCP.  Now, I'm not sure if I will ever actually take the exam to become a beer judge, but I think this will be a fun exercise to learn more about beer! Fair warning, I will not be doing the sections of the BJCP style guidelines in any sort of order.  Whichever kinds of beer I am craving is what I will be writing about! Strong Scotch Ales (also known as Wee Heavy) comprise sub-category 9E in the BJCP style guidelines.  They range between 6.5% and 10.0% ABV, and have a light copper to dark brown appearance.  Obviously, strong scotch ales are all about showcasing the malt.  While studying this style, I found it quite interesting that the brewers ferment out the wort at cooler temp...

The Six-Pack Project: New Jersey

Welcome to the Six-Pack Project!  The idea of the project is to create a six-pack of beer that would best represent the current beer scene in your respective state.  For me, that is obviously New Jersey.  The Six-Pack Project was created by Bryan over at the This Is Why I'm Drunk blog.  Check out his introduction to the project here ! 10 years ago, beer probably wasn't the first thing that came to your mind when you were thinking about New Jersey.  However, times are changing, and it's an exciting time to be a beer drinker in the Garden State.  Every year, more and more bars are starting to serve a greater variety in beer.  Even more importantly, new breweries haven been opening in NJ each year, and lots more are in planning Today, there is a wide variety of beer brewed here in New Jersey.  Choosing six beers to best represent the state was no easy feat, but I was up for it!  Hopefully, the following will clue yo...

Beer Digest IV: Weyerbacher Viridis Lupulus and Round Guys Fat Bob XVII

Hey all, thanks for stopping in to this week's Beer Digest.  This is the fourth installment, and I am highlighting two beers from two different Pennsylvania breweries, Weyerbacher and Round Guys Brewing.  Before I get into the beers, I want to thank Josh from Short on Beer for including me in his video series, "Conversations with Beer Bloggers."  Check out our conversation , where we talk about how I got into craft beer and beer blogging! Weyerbacher Brewing Viridis Lupulus IPA 7.5% ABV, 95 IBUs The team over at Weyerbacher Brewing have come up with a new seasonal beer, Viridis Lupulus, and it is an IPA.  They plan on releasing Viridis Lupulus in late spring or early summer, and will feature a different lineup of hops for each release.  According to Wiktionary , viridis comes from the Latin verb vireo , which translates to "to be verdant, to sprout."   Lupulus comes from Humulus lupulus , and is the species name for the common hop.  So...
