Name: Pugsley’s Signature Series
Brewery: Shipyard Brewing Company
Overall Rating: A -
Style: Barley Wine
Serving Style: 22 oz Bomber Bottle
ABV: 8.5 %
Price: $ 6.99
Aroma: Can definately sense the malts when taking a nice smell of this brew. With 6 different types, this smells heavenly. Some brown sugar tones come through as well.
Appearance: A nice dark reddish brown color when held up to the light. Unless you hold to a light, you will not be able to see through it. Good tan head when I first poured it in my glass.
Flavor: Good malty taste in every sip. Some smokey and brown sugar tones are noted as you enjoy it.
Mouthfeel: Decent body, light and creamy feel as it goes down. A little dry but not much.
Enjoyability: I am very much enjoying this style of beer. I am usually an Imerial Stout drinker but the Barley Wine style does have some awesome beers. This is another brew that I know I will visit again.

About: I remember my first beer...actually, I don't. It was probably something horrible like a Coors light and I'm glad I've forgotten. My experience with beer has come full circle. Originally I gave up on beer because I thought it was all crappy lagers. One day in 2002, I happened upon a little deli called Hollingshead in Anaheim, CA that just happened to have a vast array of "crazy" beers on tap I had never heard of. I dug the look of the STONE IPA handle and tried it. My life has never been the same since. I was in love with hops, grains, and the amazing beauty of what beer can really be.
I love bold flavors and extremes. Belgiums and homebrewing my own beer.See Authors Posts (76) | Filed under: News

About: My first beer was Budweiser. I was about 9 or 10, Dad and I were broken down and the side of the road and all there was to drink was Budweiser. So I had a swig of his, hated it!
I didn't drink beer again until I joined the Marine Corps. I was in Quantico, attending Small Computer Systems Specialist school, when I accidentally knocked a beer out the fridge and broke it. My buddies said now I gotta drink one! The rest is history. The broken beer was a Red Dog by the way.
Now days I am really a hop head that enjoys the IPAs [Stone IPA; Lagunitas IPA] and Douple IPAs [Moylan's; Hair of the Dog Blue Dot]. I also like Belgians [St Bernardus; Delirium; Three Philosopher's] a lot! I also like the Stouts and Porters [Black Butte] as well.
I enjoy going to breweries to sample as well as going to pubs and taverns. I also like enjoying beer with friends and bouncing ideas off of other intelligent people as well. Last time I was at O'Brien's I was shooting the shit with a couple of random strangers.
I hope to someday do a pub/tavern crawl across Europe. That's all I want. Simple.

Alpine Beer Company Duet
Name: Duet
Brewery: Alpine Beer Company
Overall Rating: Very good!
Style: 14B. American IPA
Serving Style: Bottle 220z
ABV: 7%
If you like IPAs, like I do, you’ll really like this one. The hops and nice and crisp! The ABV isn’t too high, so you might actually be able to enjoy a few more of these. It is a very clear, straw yellow with a beautiful, white, fluffy head. Excellent carbonation and mouthfeel make this a very good IPA to drink. I highly recommend this one as it is a great example of what an IPA is and should be.

My Coffee Setup
CoreBrewing isn’t just about brewing beer, we also brew coffee! This is my Starbucks 35th Anniversary coffee press. I’ve since replaced the carafe and the sand timer is broken but the set is still going strong. I’ve added the tool set on the right recently. It has a digital timer, a measuring scoop, a spatula and a bamboo stirrer. Crucial? No, not at all, just adds a bonus dimension to the coffee drinking experience.
