Solstice Malt: When a Hobby Turns into a Career in Beer

March 14, 2021 by Claire McArthur Leave a Comment

James Weed was working 12-hour days in finance when his wife told him he needed to get a hobby.  “She got me into homebrewing,” recalls Weed with a laugh. “I’m the type of guy that likes to do things himself, so I started growing my own hops and malting my own barley.” But finding small-scale equipment to malt the grain proved to be difficult. Online research led him to … [Read more...]

Is the Rise of Hard Seltzer the Future of Craft Beer?

March 8, 2021 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

It all started with a few billboards for White Claw... That was before I saw the end caps in supermarkets. Then I believe the ads appeared on buses and Trax. “Could this really be happening?“ I thought. “Could this White Claw and ‘hard seltzer’ replace beer as La Croix and energy drinks are replacing soda?" Consumer fads are hard to differentiate from actual cultural … [Read more...]

Epic Brewing Big Bad Baptist Pecan Pie

December 3, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

If you’re looking for a brew that brings a bit of holiday cheer in each bottle, I can heartily recommend Epic Brewing Company’s Big Bad Baptist Pecan Pie.  According to the brewers at Epic, “With a nod to our Big Bad Baptist fans south of the Mason-Dixon, we’re taking on a southern classic dessert, the bourbon pecan pie. Brewed with cinnamon and pecans that pair perfectly … [Read more...]

Wasatch Brewery New Pilsner: Great Deceiver

September 25, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

In my opinion, Pilsners are the gold standard for international beer brewing, and Wasatch Brewery has just released a new brew called the Great Deceiver Imperial Pilsner which, they say, “now reigns supreme as a devilishly delicious and deceptively sessionable beer.” According to the brewers, “Wasatch gave the Devil his due in this big, bold Imperial Pilsner that sits on a … [Read more...]

Epic Sour Brainless on Guava & Habanero

August 20, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

My son, Hank, and college friends of his were visiting us last weekend and my wife, Faith, picked up an array of interesting beers for a weekend cookout. One that got my attention - in part because it’s one of the strangest sounding beers I’ve ever come across - was Epic Brewing Co. Sour Brainless On Guava & Habanero, Cellar Reserve. What in the world?, I thought.  It’s … [Read more...]

Roosters Ogden Double IPA

August 6, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

  Earlier this week I was looking for something to sip alongside a dinner of Bison Tacos I was making at home (see Scheff’s Table for the recipe). So, I picked up a couple of cans of Ogden Double IPA from Roosters Brewing Co. and it was a slam-dunk with those tasty tacos.  I assume Roosters calls this beer Ogden Double IPA because the original Roosters location … [Read more...]
