Dylan Gonzalez writes; Beer: Neshaminator Brewery: Neshaminy Creek Brewing Co. I don't know about you, but I think a lawsuit may happen over this beer Neshaminator clearly takes its theme after the Terminator franchise, right down to the image of the robotic foot crushing down on human skulls. But that's just the bottle The beer itself is a deep[...]

By Dylan Gonzalez; Beer: Valhalla Red IPA Brewery: Elysian It seems like Elysian Brewery is making beers just for me to review This week, and perhaps just in time for a film featuring a certain Norse god, I review Elysian's Valhalla Red IPA.

Dylan Gonzalez writes; Beer: The Fear Brewery: Flying Dog October means a few things to me: Halloween and horrors movies, my birthday and the Oktoberfest beers And sometimes, you get an interesting little surprise here and there Normally, I am not a huge fan of pumpkin beers, though I have warmed up to some recently[...]

Dylan Gonzalez writes; Beer: Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Banana Ale Brewery: Rogue/Voodoo Doughnut The last time I was adventurous enough to try a beer prefixed by a food, it was Pizza Beer and…well, that didn't pan out so well So, imagine my hesitations when I decided on reviewing Rogue's Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Banana Ale[...]

Dylan Gonzalez writes; Beer: Zombie Killer Brewery: B Nektar Meadery Today, we are switching it up at Booze Geek Technically speaking, Zombie Killer is not a beer and more a cider or mead Regardless, it still seems an appropriate drink to review. Zombie Killer has a pink or red hue to it, which makes sense considering: A[...]

Dylan Gonzalez writes; Beer: Dragonstooth Stout Brewery: Elysian Brewing Co. My journey into the land of stouts continues with Elysian's Dragonstooth Stout. Dragonstooth produces a thick head that is a mocha color and remains after being poured The body has a dark finish and, like most stouts, you cannot see through it Dragonstooth produces prominent chocolaty aromas. I found that[...]

When[...]

Dylan Gonzalez writes; Beer: CascaZilla Brewer: Ithaca Beer Co. CascaZilla is a beer available throughout the year, produced by the Ithaca Beer Co It is a red IPA, with a deep, red coloration to it, but is clear when poured into a glass CascaZilla does not maintain a strong head when poured, thus leaving it fairly standard looking[...]
