So there we were in Kittery, Maine at Tributary Brewing, a full 350+ miles from home, expressly to evaluate the new beginnings of brewing legend Tod Mott. The brewery tasting room had a warm, cozy, almost like home feel, with the patrons sitting close and enjoying each other's company while sharing a pint of beer. … Continue reading Tributary Brewing; A Love Story
Lagunitas Couchtrippin’ Boston 2016
Lagunitas and the Sherpas...perfect together! Our love affair for all things Lagunitas started in Petaluma in 2012. First the Beer Circus, then the tasting room and tour, set the stage. Not only is the beer first class, their approach to marketing is unique. Stories abound regarding the naming of some of their beers, 420 lore, … Continue reading Lagunitas Couchtrippin’ Boston 2016

The Jeffrey – NYC
Visit The Jeffrey NYC for a back-to-basics experience for beer lovers in the afternoon and evening. This venue, located under the Queensboro Bridge at 311 East 60th Street in Manhattan, appears very basic, like an old neighborhood haunt.

Other Half Brewing – Brooklyn, NYC
Worth the effort to find this tiny brewery in the Carroll Gardens section of Brooklyn, NYC! We made the mistake of driving.

“What for?” DuClaw Retribution!
This post was delayed due to "life" happening...It was written a year ago, but is as relevant today as it was then 🙂 Retribution! If that is punishment, I want me some. The 2014 bottle release of this bourbon barrel-aged Imperial Stout was held at … Continue reading “What for?” DuClaw Retribution!
Mo’ Pizza, Boy
What do pizza and beer have in common? Well, the answer(s) probably center around taste, but did you ever think that pizza and beer just pair well together? The Sherpas heard so much about Pizza Boy Brewing Co., in Enola, Pennsylvania, that we ventured out one snowy March day to explore. The folks on the … Continue reading Mo’ Pizza, Boy
On the Scent of the Sublime Pie
"Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." If Mark Twain's famous quote is true, how would he lead the statement "____ makes the pizza."? Flour, water, cheese and tomatoes make not the pizza alone. In our travels, we have begun to attempt to answer that question. Pizza is ubiquitous. Google … Continue reading On the Scent of the Sublime Pie
