Straight From the Draughts

This winter has been brutal... but that hasn't stopped us from checking out some new brews from across the country. These beers were chosen mainly because of their can designs, but some of the flavor profiles were quite different than anything we have tried out before. Each of these beers brought a vibe that was unique only to itself and I was a fan of these three. Let's see what we got into and what we may be looking for on tap in the future!

It is that time of the year again! The time of year when we take to our couches to watch Christmas movies, travel in the snow to spend time with friends and family, and spend hours in the wilderness looking for a tree that would look perfect in our living rooms for the next month.

Another year almost over... another holiday beer review. We hope you had a great Christmas season with friends and family. Here is what we drank this Christmas!

In the words of the 90s rock band Staind, “It’s Been Awhile.” 

Merry Christmas, you filthy Draughters! While we snuggle up next to the fire, open presents and spend time with loved ones, we have a variety of options when it comes to choice of drink. While some may go with some wine or a festive cocktail, here are a few beers that I tested out for this Christmas season. Think of this as our little gift to you, and maybe one becomes a Christmas tradition drink for you and your family. 

Hey fellow Draughters! Football season came upon us, and with that, so did Natty Light and Miller Lite season. But no one needs a rating for those, as we all know they are the most superior!

How have you been?! It has been a while! 

This week's beer reviews come from a variety of different kind of ales. Ales are warmed using a fermentation method that is warm, which results in an ale being more hops heavy. This fermentation method also allows ales to be sweeter with more hints of fruit. Let's take a look at some of the ales we found at the local store.

This week's beer review comes with a couple of, unintentional, themes. The three beers that were tried come from various breweries around Ohio, each coming with its own citrusy twist. While I enjoyed some more than others, each was something I could see myself ordering in the future.  

One of my favorite parts of finding new craft beer to try is simple: a cool can. Nothing screams "TRY ME!" like a can that grabs your attention from a shelf. Sometimes it can be a crazy design, other times it can be a clever name. Many times, especially when it comes to a local brewer, a can has the ability to give you some history and insight to a brewery's namesake or mission. Let's go through a few of my favorites.
