"The Quality Of Beer Is Shown In 1 Sip, But It's Better Just To Be Sure."

Hi all. Sorry about the long delay I’ve been quite the busy fellow with all this school work and all. (I’m still trying to dream of being a video game and roller coaster tester *sigh*) Anyhoo I’d like shift gears and begin a nice long discussion about one of my favorite vices outside of videogames. And that vice is beer. Now I’m sure that most of you out there have already discovered beer and know what it is you like and don’t like. But it’s ok because I’m only here to recommend to you some things to try. This past weekend I hit 5 breweries on the east side of Michigan. And I sampled quite the wide range of beers. One brewery I hit did mostly Belgian style beers while another one had terrible beers. And some of them had fantastic dining choices too! So I got nice and fat and happy this weekend. My 2 favorite places I hit was Woodward Avenue Brewery and I must say they had quite the porter. (Mmmmmmmm dark beers……) and the other place was Royal Oak Brewery and oh dear god was their beer good but their food made it even better! At Royal Oak I had another solid porter but the IPA I tried was quite good. Should you ever find yourself around the Detroit area I recommend you look up these breweries.

Moving on I’d also like to recommend other beers I’ve had before and I’ll keep giving updates at the end of each post I make as to what game I’m playing/ recommend, what beer I just tried and would recommend and also anything else I find relevant like movies and television. Ok onto the good stuff for those of you who take your beer seriously I’d recommend the Founder’s Pale Ale. It’s got the light malt but its dry hopped so you get a much stronger hops flavor which I love. Another great one I’ve been drooling over (and coincidentally got Toodlekittens hooked on) is the New Holland’s Dragon’s Milk. If you are a fan of the barrel aged whiskey then this is your beer. They age it in bourbon barrels for 1 and 2 years then mix them together and it is vanilla-y and great and not bitter in any way. It’s so unique and glorious. Finally for you lager fans/ dark beer fans I’d recommend the Victory Stormking. It is an Imperial Stout so it’s big but it’s got a light roasty flavor and strong hop profile and oh sweet baby jesus is it wonderful. It has everything I want all in one bottle.

Finally a few book keeping things for you loyal fans out there I did beat Dragon Age awhile back and am now playing it again (like an achievement whore) and I must say it certainly isn’t the same game twice. I love the unique character’s you not only build but recruit. More gripes came with it now that I’ve beaten it but hey nobody’s perfect. Also SUPER PUMPED for Skyrim in November. That date definitely can’t come fast enough. In fact I’m more excited for it than my 3 year anniversary with my girlfriend a week later….. (just don’t tell her please). I think that is all I have to spew at you good people for now. Oh and a little fun fact some of you may not know, Google voice search censors the word porn. Hilarious!

Until we meet in hell,
