It’s been quite some time since our last post. **Brews Travelers Confessional**

We admit that we have been busy. Not only drinking beer, but planning and saving for our next excursions. We would like to apologize for not updating as often as we would like. Also, we are looking for some feedback. What type of information is important to you? Are the pictures helpful? Should we redesign the website? If so, what would you like to see? Let us know!

Jackie O’s – Athens, Ohio : Special Release (Barrel Aged Dark Apparition & Oil of Aphrodite)

Quench Wench — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 17:43:41 +0000

**The Ladies of Brews Travelers (Hop Mama’s, as we like to call them) made a special trip to Athens, Ohio. Seriously, on their own they made the decision. Here is their experience of the special release by Jackie O’s **

OK, first of all I am not a college student so I was apprehensive about hanging out at Jackie O’s in downtown Athens, the home of Ohio University. The last time I did that I was there for a Keg and [...]

THE Ultimate Beer Bout @ Tribes Alehouse – Mokena, Illinois

‎“A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.”— Oliver Wendell Holmes

Creativity is a BIG deal in the world of Craft Beer. I am not just talking about the breweries and their beer recipes, beer names or awesome labels. There are beer tastings, beer pairings, beer festivals and tons of creative beer blogs. Let us also mention beer books, beer ratings and beer lists. Now ladies and gentlemen, we have our first [...]

“The Hunt for the Golden Tickets” Updated 3/19

Gabe The Imperial — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 16:40:27 +0000

Intense, Exciting, Entertaining and Exhausting. I may be describing the March Madness that is upon us, but this is not the basketball kind. It’s the “Beer Geek” kind.

A month ago, we were notified that 3 Floyds Brewing Company would be releasing the link to their Golden Tickets on their twitter account. (These Golden Tickets can be used to purchase the 2010 Dark Lord Imperial Stout on release day) With 5,000+ followers, this was definitely going to be a hectic free-for-all. [...]

Beer Chaser – An obsessive, rewarding hobby.

It’s a Wednesday afternoon and another beer is being released in the area tomorrow. Twitter is on fire and my cellphone is ringing off the hook. Friends, Family and Neighbors are calling to inform, inquire and request a shot at the 24 bottles that have been dropped off in a Metropolitan area of 850,000 people. The unknown here is how many people know about the beer, want the beer or even enjoy craft beer.

Dogfish Head – Burton Baton 2009

Gabe The Imperial — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 16:35:22 +0000

We don’t really do beer reviews on Brews Travelers, but I had been looking forward to trying Burton Baton since I read some other reviews. It seemed like the perfect beer for me. A Strong Ale combined with 90 minute IPA. Well, is it what the doctor ordered?

Yes! It is.

I would compare this beer to a great movie.

It has a great storyline – It was made for Michael Jackson’s rare beer club. It has elements of both the UK and [...]

The Caroline – Troy, Ohio

Gabe The Imperial — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 13:12:54 +0000

As a gentleman without a full-time gig, I sometimes get bored. Okay, let’s face it, I always get bored. There is only so much that I can do around the house. Empty the dishwasher, wash clothes, vacuum floor, clean the cat litter, repeat… Always repeat. It’s the groundhog day of unemployment hell. But not this day, this day was different. I actually showered and put on underwear. I then followed it up with the rest of my clothes.(a rare feat [...]
