Glad to be Back and Monday Night 24
As everyone knows, I returned to the U S of A on Sunday morning. My two weeks in the Philippines was fun and it helped purge my system of microbrews and strengthen my 2beerguy core. Yes, there were beers in Manila. How do they compare with microbrews? Unfortunately, they don’t appear on the same field. [...]

Rogue Brutal Bitter
After a bite to eat at the Pic and a quick grocery shopping trip, Riss and I tried a bomber of Rogue Brutal Bitter. http://www.rogue.com/brews.html#brutal An interesting beer. Very nice, clean citus aroma. A decent white head of average duration, it appears somewhere between a dark gold and light tan. As the company describes it, [...]
Letter to the Red Sox
Good afternoon, I’m drafting this letter this afternoon to suggest yet another improvement at Fenway Park, although this one won’t require the services of Janet Marie Smith. I’ve been to plenty of games at Fenway over the past 20 years that I’ve lived in New England, but not until this year had I been all [...]
Cerveza Negra and Red Horse
As my time here is winding down, I wanted to make sure that I reviewed San Miguel’s flagship beer “Red Horse”. On my first trip here, I was informed that many are not able to drink a couple and remember the stories to tell…. Well.. tonight I enjoyed the last two offering from Sam Miguel [...]
Red God IPA
Today was the first day for CBC’s 2007 edition of the Red God IPA: Featuring Simcoe, Amarillo, and Columbus hops at an unheard of rate of over three pounds per barrel, with American pale and Belgian caramel malts providing a malty but dry pedestal upon which this hop fest rides until its long, lingering, hop-bittered [...]
San Miguel Lager fest!!
I thought of a couple of different titles for this blog, but I stuck with Lager fest. In my previous blog, I accidentally called it “Sam” and not “San”. Maybe I am thinking too much of “Sam Adams” (ohhh.. yes I mentioned their name), but you can rest assure that it’s cause of the font [...]
Thrilla in Manila
Hello from the far east… It’s a hot time here in Manila (I know, you just suffered from a Nor’Easter). I saw a little about it on the news stations here. I had had a couple of beers and I wanted to share my experience… On Monday Night, which really is Tuesday morning, I tried [...]
My first taste of Summer
When I think summer, I think of two things I look forward to every year: Red Sox baseball and Sam Summer. This is exactly what I got on a chilly spring day in Boston. Gavin and I decided to go down to Boston for Red Sox opening day. It was gray, chilly and windy out. [...]
Stop and drink some beer!
On Monday night Ian, Sean and I met at the Grog in Newburyport Ma. We met Mark, Sebago Brewing Co’s sales representative. Sebago makes its home in Gorham ME and also has a great brew pub in Portland ME. We fully expected to meet a fabulous beer geek, swimming in beer knowledge, with a crazy [...]
