11/7/12 Blogshare

Hey everyone!  It's been a crazy two weeks here in central NJ.  Hurricane Sandy came and went, and NJ is still recovering, and will be for quite some time.  Luckily, Kerry and I came out unscathed, and only lost our power for around 5 days.  Needless to say, blogging was the last thing on my mind.  I haven't reviewed any beers in awhile, but I did come across some great reviews by some other fellow beer bloggers, and a nice infographic from the team over at The Brew Gentlemen, who just completed a successful Kickstarter campaign!

Kaedrin Beer Blog reviews Ommegang's Scythe & Sickle, their fall seasonal this year.  I've been wanting to try this beer for quite some time!

The Barley Blog gives a review on an oft forgotten American classic, Anchor Brewing Porter.

The Brew Gentlemen Beer Co. is a brewery in the early phases of development, located in Braddock, PA, which is just outside Pittsburgh.  They just finished a successful Kickstarter campaign, raising more than $30,000 for their brewery.  Great job!  They put together an infographic with some statistics about their campaign, and they give 5 lessons they've learned during their Kickstarter campaign.

Daily Beer Review tries Invocation Belgian-Style Golden Ale from Wild Heaven Craft Beers!

Thanks for reading everyone, and stay warm!

Indiana - One Year

Just a little more than one year ago, my family and I relocated to Indianapolis from New Jersey due to some changes in my full-time job.  It was a tough, yet exciting, move for us.  We quickly had to put our small, 2nd floor condo up for sale, and at the same time travel to Indianapolis to house hunt and find a neighborhood that would suit us.
The prospect of moving to an area with a completely new to me beer landscape was intriguing.  As soon as I knew for sure that my family and I were making the move to Indiana, I performed some online searches to compile a list of the breweries that were local to our new area.  A Google Map was created just for the breweries.  Facebook pages and Instagram pages were followed.

I quickly learned that Indiana isn't quite like other states I've visited where alcohol is involved.  Some of these laws astonished me!
First things first, any minor (under 21 years old) is not allowed to step foot in a liquor store.  Not even accompanied by an adult…

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 you in a little bit more to some of the best bottled beers tha…

In the Brewhouse with Cypress Brewing Co.

Get excited for another NJ brewery opening soon!  Cypress Brewing will be opening their doors in early July in a tucked away industrial park at 30 Nixon Lane in Edison, NJ.  They are currently prepping for their July 9th launch party at Hailey's Harp and Pub in Metuchen, NJ, and their fermentation and brite tanks are full to prove it.  

For their launch, Cypress Brewing will have 10(!) beers ready for NJ beer fans to try out.  Their idea is to have something for everyone to be able to enjoy.
Hop heads can relish in three different IPAs:  a "nearly sessionable" Cypress IPA, a Cypress Double IPA and a 106 IBU "hop bomb" that is Cypress West Coast IPA.  
Stout lovers will clamor over the Cypress Double Chocolate Imperial Oatmeal Stout, where at 8.8% ABV, Cypress will only sell it to you in half glasses (in their tap room, at least).  

You will find a full list of their launch beers, along with brewer's descriptions, at the end of this post!


According to Cypress own…
