My family and I have recently rescued a dog and it is a topic that is near and dear to my heart. I am happy to finally sit down and write a few words for the good folks at Weyerbacher about this fantastic IPA. Continue reading “LAST CHANCE IPA”
It’s been over a month since we touched on a beer from the midwest, and what better way to get back in gear than with an awesome brew all the way from “The Show Me State.” If you didn’t pay attention in grade school, I am talking about the great state of Missouri, home to over 50 breweries (from the big guys like Anheiser Busch to awesome craft breweries such as Schlafly.)

Finch’s Beer Company was started for the sheer fact that Owner Ben Finch wanted to supply the drinkers of Chicago with easy drinking brews, gateway beers if you will.
