Commentist Beer Barrel: Don’t Haze Me Bro

makeitsnowondem - January 18, 2018January 17, 2018

Hey guys! Remember me? It's make it snow, the beer guy! No, not that beer guy. The alot of beer. Circumstances have conspired -- specifically, they've conspired with my innate laziness -- to keep me away for some time now. A lot's changed, but perhaps most importantly, I'm in Denver

Commentist Beer Barrel: Something A Little Different

make it snow - October 5, 2017October 5, 2017

I don't remember exactly when I first became aware of what barrel-aged beer, like, was. I definitely learned the names of some barrel-aged beers not long after getting into beer; I knew that Kentucky Breakfast Stout was supposed to be good, despite not knowing why it was good, or how it

Commentist Beer Barrel: The Happiest Place on Earth

make it snow - September 11, 2017September 10, 2017

It's been a while, hasn't it? I don't know about you guys, but a lot's happened in the snow household since I last wrote about beer here. We've gotten married (yes, to each other!), we've quit our jobs, and in two weeks we'll be moving to the land of my

Commentist Beer Barrel: Boots on the Ground – San Diego International Beer Festival 2017

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers - June 21, 2017June 21, 2017

Ladies, Gentlemen and Beings of Inconceivable Horror, welcome to yet another guest edition of the Beer Barrel without Make It Snow. I am Low Commander of the Super Soldiers and much like Mattingly's sideburns, you just can't get rid of me. But fear not, for I have an extra special edition

Commentist Beer Barrel: Teabaggin’

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers - June 12, 2017June 13, 2017

What's happenin', everybody? Low Commander here, filling in back by popular demand for another week in the ol' Beer Barrel! Our Make It Snow went and got all married last week (Congrats, Lady Mrs. Snow!) and I can only assume they are both currently quite inebriated on a beach somewhere,

Good afternoon, beer coin-a-suers. [DFO's] resident drunk beer reviewer, Make It Snow, is an a lot of something else right now apparently, and as BFC pointed out last week, guest posts are a happenin'. I am your Low Commander of the Super Soldiers, and this week you are stuck with

Back in the Barrel With Ya

Our esteemed alot of beer is out doing life things that may or may not be more important than reviewing beer for imaginary internet friends, so you're stuck with substitute teachers for the next few Beer Barrels. First sub up: ME! Last time I filled in for this column I wasn't

Commentist Beer Barrel: A Moment of Clarity

makeitsnowondem - May 2, 2017May 2, 2017

We haven't talked a lot about imported beers in the Beer Barrel. I know, off the top of my head, that I've written about Czechvar and Chimay Grande Reserve and Kulmbacher Eisbock and Fullers ESB, all of which are exceptionally delicious or have exceptionally interesting stories behind them or both. But for the most part,

Commentist Beer Barrel: From Russia With Care

makeitsnowondem - April 8, 2017

From the outside, looking in, this beer review might appear to be two weeks late. The reality is that this review is much, much later than that. That's because it's a review of a beer from Jester King Brewery, a farmhouse brewing outfit located in the countryside southwest of Austin, and

Commentist Beer Barrel

Northwestern is in the tournament! This doesn't have anything to do with the beer I'm reviewing this week, but it's a real fact that I almost can't believe. For the last month and a half they seemed determined to piss away a great start and confirm again one of the funadamental laws of the
