Keweenaw Brewing Co Widow Maker Black Ale
February 16, 2013To start this off, I want to share something with you. Something that is absolutely amazing. I want to share the master: Who's the master, you might say? Who's the meanest? Who's the prettiest? Who's the baddest mofo lowdown around this town? Keweenaw Widow Maker, that's who. As we've addressed in some other articles, canned beer has a stigma, much like B movies. This beer is the ultimate B movie of the craft beer world; looks cheap and low quality on the outside (Harsh to...

Hideout Brewing Smuggler’s Hazelnut Stout
February 14, 2013If there was ever a job that sounded cooler than being a bounty hunter, it has to be a smuggler. Seriously, second only to Boba Fett, every guy wanted to be Han Solo when they were watching Star Wars as a kid. That rakish charm, cocky smile, and slightly dangerous veneer hiding the heart of gold underneath; just enough bad boy to be exciting, but sincere enough to only be slightly embarrassed to bring home to meet the family. Well, this Smuggler is one you can introduce to everybody....

November 27, 2012In 1997, Bill Clinton was starting his second term, Steve Jobs made his return to Apple, Titanic swept the box office, and R Kelly's I believe I Can Fly had not yet made us want to gouge out our ears. It was also the year that Founders Brewing Company opened its doors to the world. Fast forward 5 years, and those doors were threatened to be closed for good. Facing bankruptcy and with the bank threatening to chain their doors shut, those ballsy brewers would not, COULD NOT be stopped. ...

November 16, 2012Many moons ago, The Drew Carey Show made a big deal about combining coffee and beer in their on-air micro brew called buzz beer. It was a dark time, the evil Anheuser regime ruled the beer market, with only around a couple hundred craft breweries nationwide. That plucky little garage beer from Cleveland proved to be oddly prophetic, as today craft breweries have increased by over 1000% since the introduction of Buzz Beer in The Drew Carey Show. Enter Dark Horse: Dark Horse's take o...

Craft Beer in America’s Top Ten
August 14, 2012According to MSN Money, Craft Beer in America is in the top ten best American products.
