Stone Cali-Belgique IPA Review

Stone Cali-Belgique IPA Review

This is one of our favorite IPAs. The Stone Cali-Belgique IPA Review is fairly light and mild for a Stone IPA. It does have the piney undertone, however, it is not quite as sharp and formidable as Pliney the Elder or a Stone IPA. This beer even tastes a tiny bit fruity, which is welcomed.

The Hangover School crew had the pleasure of visiting Pizza Port in Ocean Beach last night. While there, we ordered the Carlsbad. This pizza has sundried tomatoes, blue cheese, chicken, artichokes, cheese and light pesto sauce. This was one of the best hangover cures a man could ask for. This is just one of their awesome pizzas.

Red Bones Barbeque, A Good Place to Drink in Boston

Red Bones Barbeque, A Good Place to Drink in Boston

red-bones-bostonIf you are looking for a good place to get a beer in Boston, Red Bones Barbeque is where it is at. Located in Davis Square, next to Tuffs University, Red Bones has an excellent selection of beers ranging from basic and light to dark and ominous. 

While at Red Bones in Boston we wanted to try something we hadn’t had before. In this spirit, we decided to try a Pike Monks Uncle. Pike Monks Uncle is a Belgium style beer with some seriously fruity flavors. When drinking it, it is as if you bit into a mango, orange and handful of pine needles at the same time.

What are the Best Winter Beers?

What are the Best Winter Beers?

imperial-stout-beerThis is a fine question to ask. Those who are fond of wine often pair wine with cheeses, meets and so forth. Wine embellishes the food and vise versa, this is called pairing. Here at Hangover School we are also fond of pairing, however, the kind pairing we suggest with beer, is not with food (although at least one meal a day should be accompanied by a beer), but instead with seasons.

As the fall months descend into winter one may ask, “What is a good winter beer to drink?” We have two suggestions, while in summer it is advised to consume lighter beers such as summer ales and thirty packs of bud lights :) , in the late fall and winter it is just the opposite. Stouts and Porters are what you all should be aiming for (especially if you live in a colder climate).

Pliney the Elder Beer Review

Pliney the Elder Beer Review

pliney the elderHangover School has been a fan of Pliney the Elder for some time now. Made by Russian River Brewing Company, based in Santa Rosa California, this is one beer you’ve got to try.

Here is a review of Pliney the Elder from our Hangover School beer expert.

A Divine Beer!

When beer connoisseurs such as you Hangover School followers and myself explore the vast abundance of beers in search of a revolutionary new recipe that transcends all previously recognized attainableness and contains perfection in a bottle or keg one finds there are many good results but very few divine creations.
