RIVER HORSE BARREL AGED SERIES
BOLERO SNORT LUCKY BUCK
The whole craft beer in a can movement has really taken off the past half of the year. With mobile canning companies popping up all over the country, craft breweries are getting their beers into the packages way ahead of when they originally thought. One of those brewing companies is Bolero Snort here in New Jersey. Bob and Andrew have been promoting their beer hard, and coming up on one year of business this month, they are taking the necessary steps to keeps things interesting at Bolero Snort – starting with seasonal canned offerings of their smaller batches of beer. I recently spent some time with them up at High Point Brewing Company to help them pack out Jersey’s second craft beer in a can, Lucky Buck. Continue reading “BOLERO SNORT LUCKY BUCK”

I just got back half an hour ago from another phenomenal event: the release of Victory Dark Intrigue. Dark Intrigue is the Storm King Stout, with the added benefit of being brewed and spending all summer in bourbon barrels – which creates one of the most amazing limited-release beers available. Brewer Jordon Sunseri was in charge of the whole operation, paying close attention and making Dark Intrigue the best possible. Speaking on the phone with him the other night, he was very excited for the release and assured me that this year’s batch is a lot better then last year’s. After hearing that, I couldn’t have been more excited for what was happening today. Continue reading “VICTORY BREWING DARK INTRIGUE”
