Yesterday I received fall themed beers (and a cider) from Harpoon Brewery / Mass. Bay Brewing—three of which are pumpkin, which I can’t help but admire. Here’s the PR email I got for the beers: Mass. Bay Brewing Company, the brewers of Harpoon, UFO Beer, and City Roots Cider, have released all your … Continue reading
This is the year for canned cocktails and wines and other “ready-to-drink” alternative alcoholic beverages, it would seem, based on what I’ve received PR about as well as samples in recent months. The latest arrived yesterday from Picnic Brunch: canned Mimosa and Bloody Mary cocktails, new products rolling out from … Continue reading
Pelican Brewing Company announced the release of a new seasonal, Midnight Malt, a porter made with cocoa nibs, and sent me a six-pack to try last week. Pelican has been releasing a number of new packaged beers in recent months (which makes sense in the age of covid) but I … Continue reading

My timing is off: theoretically I should have received these before September 27, which was National Crush a Can Day, but I’d been late in replying to … Continue reading

Technically, the brewery is calling this a PNW (Pacific Northwest) IPA, so not hazy or juicy and such. Here are details … Continue reading
2 Towns Ciderhouse has introduced a new year-round imperial cider to the lineup, and sent me a couple of bottles: Tropical Mayhem. It’s a 9% cider made from apples, passion fruit, and pineapple, and seems like welcome addition to fall. The cidery also included two bottles of its returning Hollow … Continue reading
