Sud Savant: September 2013
http://sudsavant.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Drink it like beer. Taste it like wine. Wednesday, September 11, 2013. Stone - Enjoy By 9.13.13. The deterioration has implications in aging, but also on the shelves. How do you know if your IPA or other hop dependent beers are fresh? How do you know you're getting the best tasting, least decayed, brewer-intended flavors? When first poured, the beer is capped with a peach pastel colored head that slowly fades to ivory shades as the beer trapped within is drawn to its brothers below. That beer pours a...

Sud Savant: June 2013
http://sudsavant.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Drink it like beer. Taste it like wine. Tuesday, June 18, 2013. Deschutes - Hop Henge Experimental IPA. It's a veritable monument to hops, right? Bottle gives no brewed date, but reads "Best by 08/27/13". A rich honey note steps in to dance with the hops, which remain strong, and the piney resin begins to kick things up a notch. What a great sight! The amounts of flavor in this beer are certainly to be reckoned with. I also appreciate the body and the fact that the beer somehow maintains a perfect le...

Drink it like beer. Taste it like wine. Http:/ www.youtube.com/user/SudSavant. A HUGE thank you to all my Tweeps, YouTubers, G ers, and regular readers that helped me get up 100 Likes on the Sud Savant Facebook page. As promised, all the folks that helped me make that jump were entered into a drawing to win a free beer. Well, that moment has arrived. Drumroll, please. We give new meaning to "shotgunning beer.".

Sud Savant: Events
http://sudsavant.blogspot.com/p/events.html
Drink it like beer. Taste it like wine. Thursday, September 15, 2011. Screw City Beer Festival 2011. This is the second of three festivals that I will have attended in under a month. Needless to say, my wife is a very patient person. There was a lot going on with this festival and I’ll just start right from the beginning. Image blatantly stolen from their website. A higher quality ticket. Nice touch. Bathrooms were 5 porta potties, with one hand sanitizing station located at only one end of the fenced in...

Sud Savant: Russian River - Pliny the Elder
http://sudsavant.blogspot.com/2015/01/russian-river-pliny-elder.html
Drink it like beer. Taste it like wine. Saturday, January 3, 2015. Russian River - Pliny the Elder. Can all the searches and all the trades that happen around the country be worth it? I'd be lying if I said my heart didn't feel the suspense a little bit. Time to go whaling. Let's pour! Crappy picture measuring EBC. Do I have to stop smelling it? The whale stands alone. I just didn't get as excited about it as I do some other beers. It's an outstanding beer, no question. I just didn't fall in love. Note: ...

Sud Savant: October 2013
http://sudsavant.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Drink it like beer. Taste it like wine. Tuesday, October 29, 2013. Jolly Pumpkin - Calabaza Blanca. My first whif from the bottle elicited a "Wow, that's funky! No matter, it all adds up to a classic gueuze type aroma. Ooh, and the orange blossom floral qualities open up even more as the beer warms. This is not a light aroma! It's got some oomph behind it. Something that I would buy to show to my friends how different and unusual beers can be. It also may be something that a drinker heavily into lamb...

Sud Savant: April 2013
http://sudsavant.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Drink it like beer. Taste it like wine. Thursday, April 18, 2013. Great Divide - Espresso Oak Aged Yeti. I've been breaking out some decent bottles in the last month or so, some of which are documented in this blog. Today will provide no exception as I'm finally. I can hardly tell which one is more present. Is there one that's 51/49? Couldn't tell you. They are wondrously blended. Yeah Pretty sure even the head could be SRM rated. I had to take one, it was that. Look at that head! Serve it with ice cream!

Sud Savant: Misc. Debris
http://sudsavant.blogspot.com/p/misc-debris.html
Drink it like beer. Taste it like wine. Site of rantings, observations, and thoughts. You have been warned. Wednesday, August 22, 2012. How about these apples! After months and months of me attempting to get a logo it has finally happened! I'm very excited to introduce the new logo of Sud Savant. Big thanks to Jaime for all her work on this! I'm super pleased with the results and can't wait to revamp the site to showcase this new logo. Stay tuned! Thursday, May 3, 2011. Friday, July 22, 2011. Well, it mu...

Sud Savant: July 2013
http://sudsavant.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Drink it like beer. Taste it like wine. Monday, July 22, 2013. Ska - Vernal Minthe. So they clearly don't want me to fall into the trap of only drinking beer styles during certain seasons, right? Oh, who cares when you drink a particular style! Some good pulp-like can art. Ever open a package of Girl Scouts' Thin Mints cookies? Is it just an illusion? Eventually that carbonation dies a bit and the beer is smooth down the throat with a little bit of sticky cling. Not a bad score in my book, though this st...
