Tröegs HopBack Amber
Brilliant amber with a 1/2 finger of khaki head. While small, it displays excellent retention and lacing.
Citrus and herbal hops, a slight yeast fruitiness, and a backbone of continental malt.
Caramel and bready malt with citrus up front and herbal hops in the back. Very well balanced. Sweet but clean.
A touch heavier than medium, lower than normal carbonation, which I enjoy.
A great example of a balanced and easy drinking american ale that is still flavorful and complex.
Paulaner
Oktoberfest-Märzen
Nose has malts, mostly light lager sweet malts but hints of reddish malts, little toasty and touch of caramel, some light lager fruits, and nice wafting bright malts.
Stoudts Oktoberfest
The aroma is very sweet. Sweet, bready malts, hint toffee.The taste is sweet & malt forward. Toasty bread like malt
Samuel Adams Octoberfest
Light and crisp, with a rich malt character strongly profiled, and highlighted by some light spicing and a smokey.
Great Lakes
Christmas Ale
this is the best Christmas ale I've ever had. Well done.
Yuengling Black & Tan
Starts off with some toffee, caramel, and roasted malt flavors along with a hint of chocolate, then gradually transitions to a more bready pale lager flavor, with just a slight hint of hoppiness.
Great Lakes Nosferatu
1 finger white head with a tiny hint of red in it and the body is light red with an orange tint.
Big sweet malts like caramel and and some spice. Very sweet with a slight hop bite.
90 Minute IPA By Dogfish
Sweet, bready, and caramel malts pair with citrus, grassy, and pine hops to create a very well-balanced.
Smuttynose Big A IPA
Very tasty and strong, but for a double ipa, very very nicely balanced
Stone IPA
Light crisp opening that is a bit indistinct, but quickly moves onto a light maltiness that is crisp
Old Speckled Hen
An English Cream Ale
Young's Double Chocolate Stout
The taste is a mix of Hershey/milk chocolate, roasted grain, light bitter coffee roast, and vanilla
Guinness A classic. Mainly roasted malt, with a touch of cream and milk to it
Victory Prima Pils Clean and bright, scents of fresh cut grass and lemon, with an atypical hint of hops.
Labatt Blue Smells like Canada . ha... East Hastings , maybe. smells of corn, weird hops. malty, boozy aroma.
**********************
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways,but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less. We buy more, but enjoy less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little,drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space.
We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.
We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway orality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit 'delete'.
Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone, who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

Mike Liorti, could explain all of that in a nutshell using only one word; ROSEDALE . Named after downtown Brampton's Rosedale Ave, Mike and his friends invested many walks (over many different shoe sizes) on this mysteriously vintage street that links directly from the train tracks to the local music store; Long & McQuade Musical Instruments. Yes, ROSEDALE were those kids who had nothing better to do than to try out all the amazing gear of their dreams for hours and write tunes that sound not far off of bands like Taking Back Sunday, The Starting Line, and Blink 182. While this seemed like a phase that would pass to most, for Mike, it was actually what created a positive foundation of musicianship and a whole new world of entrepreneurial business skills… not to mention his intricate set up and eye popping light show.
In a music world where genre lines are increasingly blurred, DINNER AND A SUIT has emerged with a sonic meld that resonates with familiarity, and captivates with distinction.
Formed in New Jersey by cousins Jonathan Capeci and Joey Beretta, the trio--including Anthony Genca--is forging a path that reflects the band's music itself: putting the right pieces in the right places at all the right times.
Since their formation in 2009, Dinner and a Suit quickly captured attention with their signature pop/rock sound - leading to critical acclaim, a swelling dedication of global fans, and coveted live dates that have included MTV2's Projekt Revolution, the Vans Warped Tour, and tours throughout the East Coast and Midwest.
The spiraling success fueled Dinner and a Suit to transplant to Nashville in late 2010, where they began work on what would become Since Our Departure - their brand new full-length album.
“We left the comforts of home to pursue this dream,” explains Capeci. “And that definitely comes through on this record.”
To record Since Our Departure, the band split their time between Glow in the Dark Studios in Atlanta with producer Matt Goldman (Anberlin, Underoath), then with Tyler Orr (As Cities Burn, Copeland) at First Street Studios in Cleveland TN.
The resulting work is a range of bold anthems, layered with soaring melodies that are riveting with honesty. Throughout the album’s ten towering tracks, Capeci’s lush timbre weaves universal themes of forgiveness and hope, love and loss, and discovering a place in the world.
“It just poured out of us,” Genca adds. “There’s a lot of passion and energy on this record. It’s an experience that we’re sharing with the listeners in a very real way.”
Cicada Sunrise started as a 3 piece alternative band formed from the remains of the Todd Marshall Band and Suspekt Negatyv. Devin Taylor and Eugene Truhlar were already starting to change their musical tastes, and they added Kelli Stilgenbauer on bass to complete the initial trio. After writing enough songs to perform live, the band found themselves sharing shows with bands like Scary Kids Scaring Kids and Rufio. The band realized their sound needed a more full approach, and added keyboardist Kaitlyn Swartz and lead guitarist Scott Maynard to the fold. After a year of refining and writing, the band went to Twin Turbo Studios to record and mix their recently released EP, Cardinal Skin.
"A kind of gentle innocence pervades, as if not trying to grab you as it passes by, but hoping you'll be touched." - Pittsburgh City Paper
Two years after the release of their debut album and hundreds of performances later, JD Eicher & the Goodnights deliver their sophomore release, entitled Shifting, which reaches out and touches listeners with vivid portraits of love, struggle, and hope.
Thirteen songs chart their journey from feel good pop to keys-out-front alternative rock. A radio-ready, polished sound with literate songwriting and intimate, swoon-worthy vocals has the Herald-Standard ranking the album with Pittsburgh's elite, saying that Shifting is "the best album from a local band since 'Restless Days' (The Clarks). Seriously, it's that good."
Forging their diverse musical backgrounds, JD Eicher (vocals/guitar), Dan Prokop (keys), Jim Merhaut (bass), and Ryan Kirk (drums/percussion) combine seasoned songwriting, rich vocals, melodic arrangements, and emphatic delivery to establish their own brand of “subtle pop.” They’ve created an album that has "the light, poppy quality of British bands Keane or The Script -- which has done plenty of damage on the airwaves -- but with more detail in the songwriting," says the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Produced by Paul Barber (My Favorite Highway, The Bigger Lights, The Friday Night Boys), Shifting is the manifestation of the band’s musical exploration and growth since the last record. “These guys can play,” notes Barber, “that's what made the sessions really rewarding.” Beyond the quartet’s growth as musicians, the theme of 'shifting' appears in the underlying emphasis on change in the songs, Eicher’s evolution as a songwriter, and the band’s ability to shift seamlessly between various styles, giving the album a "mainstream likability that is both charming and contagious," praises the Herald-Standard.
"With the release of Shifting, JD Eicher & the Goodnights take their place among the elite of Northeast Ohio-Western Pennsylvania bands,” exclaims The Vindicator. Not to be outdone, some think that the band is destined for a larger audience: "America will fall in love with JD Eicher,” proclaims Cindy Howes, Morning Mix Host & Producer at 91.3FM WYEP.

"We're like Diana Ross if she were four dudes who played guitar rock inspired by bands such as the Pixies, Weezer, and Modest Mouse. "
With over ten years on the DIY indie rock circuit, Driftless Pony Club has harnessed the power of YouTube to expose their angular, 90s styled indie rock to a diverse and widespread fanbase totally outside of the mainstream music industry. Through his quirky Youtube videos, lead singer Craig Benzine (AKA Wheezy Waiter ) has amassed over 350,000 subscribers and pulled in fans from all corners of the world. The Chicago-based crew (Craig Benzine, Matt Weber, Sam Grant, and Nate Bartley) has packed venues in cities across the United States with more shows and more cities in the works.
Influenced by bands like The Pixies, Weezer, and most notably Modest Mouse, Driftless Pony Club has released three full length LPs and an EP. Their most recent album (released on DFTBA records ), Buckminster, drew inspiration from the life and works of visionary architect, Buckminster Fuller yet " . . somehow manages to rock despite its nerdy genesis."
Metromix Interview, (Chicago)
"Considering its primary source of inspiration, local indie-rock quartet, Drifless Pony Club , has no business rocking as hard as it does."
"Craig Benzine, lead singer of Chicago indie-rock crew Driftless Pony Club, could easily be classified as an internet celebrity. Recording YouTube videos under the name Wheezy Waiter, the singer/comedian has amassed more than 345,000 subscribers and his videos have been viewed more than 38 million times. With that in mind, expect a few laughs between songs as the group works through selections off their latest, “Buckminster,” an album that somehow manages to rock despite its nerdy genesis: the band found inspiration in the life and work of author/engineer/inventor Buckminster Fuller
“The newest band in Mt. Pleasant is comprised of front man Andrew Kauervane (vocals, ukulele and acoustic guitar), Nadia Leatz (backup vocals, keyboard) and Corey Densmore (synthesizers and production). The trio made their debut at Rubble's in August and have since provided their dreamy flow of experimental indie and folk around Mt. Pleasant and the state. You can catch them at WILBERTS Thursday February 16 , the perfect atmosphere for their chill, up-in-the-clouds music that sounds like a mix of Iron & Wine and Freelance Whales.”
"...ragged vocals moan and groan with fierce'n'throaty aplomb while the hard-diggin' guitars, churning basslines, and sturdy pushin' drums concoct a raw gritty sound that's both moody and earthy in equal measure... a complete scrappy joy to hear." —Joe Wawrzyniak, jerseybeat.com
Aside from being one of the finest guitar players in the business, MacLeod really connects with his audience. His sets are more than music. They are "homegrown lessons" in life and love. MacLeod is one of the finest songwriters, storytellers and performers in the blues. In a world intoxicated with electric-everything MacLeod is preserving a lost art... A must for any serious fan of the blues and any soul who needs the healing of the blues. - Sing Out.
Understanding the importance of restraint to the blues, he skirts the predictable with fresh imagery in lyrics and his music is barb-wire sharp. - Down Beat Magazine .
MacLeod identifies with the simplicity and honesty that characterized the country blues artists of the 30's and 40's... a wealth of blues feeling... compelling. - Alex Henderson, - All Music Guide.
MacLeod is a talented instrumentalist and an impassioned singer, but what stands out is his well-turned lyrical phrases and intriguing musical nuances. - Living Blues.
In his CD, Where I Been, Doug MacLeod has produced a montage of fascinating stories that are insightful, introspective, entertaining and then some. The listener gets the immediate sense that this music comes from one who has a strong emotional and sentimental attachment to the themes or from one who has lived the life he sings about. Mr. MacLeod uses his unusual style of acoustic guitar playing to accentuate his remarkable story telling so much so that it seems that the guitar is an integral part of the tale. - Roots Music Report.
On his first visit to Australia, Doug MacLeod was the one act I was particularly looking forward to seeing. A contributing writer to our sister publication Blues Revue, MacLeod is a great storyteller, songwriter, and raconteur and, to say the least, one of the finest exponents of acoustic Blues and slide guitar around. He played songs, each accompanied by a story, from his albums Dubb and Where I Been, both highly recommend, as well as his recent live DVD release. - Blues Wax.
Doug MacLeod is an accomplished songwriter managing to imbue his autobiographical lyrics with humor and poignancy. - Juke Blues.
On this acoustic set of telling and effective songs, a sparse but striking guitar style and candid vocals combine to create a convincing showcase for his talents. - London Times.
In the tradition of songwriters such as J.B. Lenoir, Brownie McGhee, and Lightnin' Hopkins, he writes about what he lives... the total package: songs, voice and guitar playing. - Blues Revue.
Fingerstyle blues from the 1920's through the 1950's. Styles range from jazzyblues numbers to Piedmont style fingerpicking country blues and even some novelty originals. From Big Bill Broonzy, Lightning Hopkins, Mance Lipscomb, and even Bobby Rush this music will bring a smile to your face and get your feet moving!
