The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
The third and last installment in my little beer cocktails series is a twist on the Blood & Sand. Obviously, there is scotch in the mix, but I went for a non-peated version. Instead, I added a bit of smoky flavours through the Gänstaller Burned Malt smoked beer. So, let us see how this little […]
Imperial Stouts are probably the second most popular “craft” beer on the market right now, after IPAs of course. However, sometimes it is hard to taste other flavours besides alcohol and heavy malt notes in this style of beer. Maybe, these two particular Imperial Stouts can proof me wrong!
The unique beer death match continues with two abbey style beers. While, the La Trappe is the only real Trappist beer which is brewed in the Netherlands, the St. Bernardus beer comes from Belgium. Both beers have exactly eight percent ABV. However, because one is a Dubbel and the other one is a Tripel style […]
The Beercules series has been woefully neglected here on the blog for quite a while now! However, the discovery of the craft and speciality beer isle in my local supermarket gave me a good enough reason to change that! So, join me as I work my way from the top left corner to the bottom right […]
As promised with the Riedenburger Sommer Sud, here is my review of its bigger brother the Riedenburger Dolden Sud IPA. Right away I can tell you that this is one of my favourite IPAs.

As a cocktail and spirits blogger you sometimes have to look beyond the horizon. Therefore, I want to revive an old category I already did introduce here on the blog: You Can Call Me Beercules (YCCMB)! However, each article from now on will just feature a single beer. So, here we go, the first one […]
I thought I change things up a little this time: Instead of a simple beer review I am providing you with a beer cocktail using the beer in question. This is why somewhere behind this very cryptic headline hides the name of this new summer beer drink. The other part of the headline is the […]
Every once and a while I get fed up with cocktails and I am craving beer. However, as a bartender cocktail nerd I find it hard to enjoy normal beer. What am I saying here: of course I enjoy normal beer, but right now I prefer “craft” beers. So it is no wonder that I […]
After taking a closer look at the Brooklyn Brewery in the last article, it is all about a traditional Bavarian brewery this time! Besides a lot of traditional beer styles Schönramer Brewery now is producing modern interpretations of international beers, too. Of course, that was reason enough for me to try some of them!
