Last week I was down in Tempe, AZ and was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to try some 8th St Ale from Four Peaks.

We connected via twitter and he came up with the awesome idea to do a virtual beer tasting together to review Rogue’s Double Dead Guy. So what you see below is copy…

In this episode of Mike’s Brew Review I review Redhook’s newest member of the family, Mud Slinger Nut Brown. Watch the video for more information, but this Nut Brown is different for me as I believe this is one of the first “Nut Browns” that I’ve had beyond homebrewed Nut Brown. I’m really excited to try it because I actually saw this brew being…
