For those of you not familiar with UFO (not unidentified flying object), it's a series of unfiltered beers brewed by the Harpoon Brewery. And just in time for the holidays, they're rolling out new "UFO Gingerland" beer. Here's what it's all about.
It seems like breweries stay way ahead of the season these days, and now winter has arrived at Saranac! Actually, Saranac "12 Beers Of Winter" from the F.X. Matt Brewing Company is now available. Here's what's in this year's winter variety pack.
'Tis the season for holiday and winter brews, and my friends at the F.X. Matt Brewing Company have just debuted a brand new winter seasonal beer...Saranac Long John Lager. I've tried it and give it two thumbs up! Here's more.
If you are a "Muppets" fan like me, you may recall a sketch from their TV show called "Pigs In Space." Well, get ready for the first "Beer In Space." No, that's not the name of a new cheesy sci-fi movie, it actually happened.
We've talked about "The Pope Of Foam" on 96.1 WODZ's 'Beer Break At Work" weekdays at 3:20 p.m. He's Charlie Bamford, an accomplished brew master who is well respected by all brewers. Now, let the master show you the correct way to pour a beer.
If you've been listiening to your "Beer Break At Work" weekday afternoons on 96.1 WODZ, you know by now that there are a number of Octoberfest beers out there. Enter "Yuengling Oktoberfest" from D.G. Yuengling & Son Brewery of Pottsville, Pensylvania.
If you're a craft beer lover, you know that this week's "Great American Beer Festival" is the "Holy Grail" of beer competitions. In fact, "Saranac Adirondack Lager" got a huge kick-start years ago for the F.X. Matt Brewery wining a gold medal. Since then, several Saranac beers have captured numerous awards at the festival.
As a former tour guide at the F.X. Matt Brewery, I'm always interested to share the latest brews news about my Alma Mater. A number of Saranac beers have won gold medals in the "World Beer Awards 2014" competition.
Just as the craft beer shelves seem bursting with Octoberfest beers (which is fine with me), here come the pumpkin ales. One of the most popular pumpkin beers these days is "Pumpkinhead Ale" by Shipyard Brewing Company of Portland, Maine.
In my quest to keep you informed of the latest brews news, I discovered another Octoberfest beer, and it's from Great Lakes Brewing Company of Cleveland, Ohio.
On my vacations, I always like to search out local breweries. Recently, my wife and I visited one of our favorite vacation spots, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and one must stop was Cape Cod Beer in Hyannis.
