Friday beer starts off with a tasty pickup while passing thru Youngstown, Ohio USA. #penguincitybeer golden ale, a great beer I ran into randomly while in the area a few years ago. #ohiobeer #ohbeer #beer #beersnobme #bskybeer #beersky

Lunch today at Collision Bend Brewing in Euclid (near Cleveland), Ohio. A pour of their #altbier. As usual, saved the calories for the #beer #ohiobeer #bskybeer #beersky #ohbeer

New-to-me beers this week. #bskybeer #beer

@dingsbeerblog.bsky.social this is one of the most decorated breweries in the U.S. This is not sad.

Lunch and a mighty beer today at Hoppin Frog in Akron, Ohio. Pour of their 9.4% The Crusher oatmeal imperial stout & smoked chicken legs. Look at those crazy stouts on the menu! #ohiobeer #ohbeer #stout #bskybeer #beersky #beer #bier

Hell yeah 🍻 #bskybeer

Gotta love a place that pairs drinks with old school video games. A yummy lime lager and peanut butter stout. #videogame beers. #defender #asteroids #mspacman #centipede #rampage #spyhunter #bskybeer #beer #beersky #arcade

Latest variant in the M-43 series from #oldnationbeer released on Friday 2/20. I was able to stop by the taproom today 2/21 & grab a pour from the source & a 4 pack to go. They were also doing brewery tours today it was $5 each and it included a pint pour. We literally got a personal tour. #bskybeer

Wonderful night of #hockey. 1st, USA men’s team win to move on to the final for a gold medal and the #1 Michigan State Spartans are kicking some Notre Dame Irish arse. I’ve got some good beers a flowin’. Started off with this authentic Czech dark lager. #beer #bier #lager #bskybeer #beersky

Drinking a Wisconsin amber that tastes like a churro. Unusual, but somehow works. #MSU #Spartans kicking ass has been unusual lately but tonight looks like things are back on track. #GoGreen #GoWhite #MiBeer #beer #bier #lager #izzone #izzo

I finally found the prescription I've been looking for. #newhollandbrewing 'Cabin Fever', a 6.0% brown ale. #beer #bier #brownale #mibeer #bskybeer #beersky #doctorbeer #beerdoctor 🍻

Rooting on the USA men's hockey team vs Germany. Wisconsin USA does a great job with amber lagers & this #PointBrewery is a yummy example. It looks great in the #glassware #beer #lager #USAHockey #bskybeer #beersky #bier

Out & about date with the lovely wife on Valentine's Day starts at Territorial Brewing Co in Battle Creek, Michigan. Well-done German beer styles, including this Altbier. Paired well with the schnitzel. Disc golf course out back. #bskybeer #bier #beer #beersky

And here's the taplist

A reward to myself for coming back to the cold weather is a stop that I think my British friends will appreciate. #BrassRing in Grand Rapids, Michigan is an actual Cask Marque accredited establishment. I got the '8 Pound Hammer'. A real treat! Greetings at my entry: "Welcome to the party" #bskybeer

Super early flight on Friday means yesterday was the last day of enjoying the warm weather in Alabama. I properly spent it watching the USA men's hockey game outside at Ferus Artisan Ales. While I'll miss the warmth, it's always good to get back home. #beer #USAHockey #bier #bskybeer #beersky

My favorite brewery in Birmingham, Alabama USA is #GoodPeopleBrewing. Lots of styles represented & not tons of outlandish abv stouts and DIPAs. Beer done well, including a couple of side pour options, which is of course what I choose. I luv a dimpled mug. #bskybeer #beersky #beer #bier

A lunch visit to #BackFortyBrewing in Birmingham, Alabama USA. $7.91 pour of their 5.5% Czech pilsner 'Rip Mountain'. Very flavorful #lager. Spacious indoor taproom & great outside, but the rain said no. #bamabeer #beer #back40beer #bier #bskybeer #beersky

Moving backwards in time, a visit to #goatislandbrewing in Cullman, Alabama USA. 'Mountain Marmalade' 4.5% fruited blonde & 5.5% 'Duck River Dunkel', both exceptional. Friendly & spacious taproom. #bamabeer #cullman #alabamabeer #beer #bskybeer #beersky #bier #brewsky

I'm crossing state borders AND time zones. As I jump 1 hour into the future, here I am at River Remedy Brewing in Rome, Georgia USA. This light 4% pilsner hit the spot. $7.50 for this pint of "Armuchee Creek Lager". #beer #gabeer #georgiabeer #bskybeer #beersky #bier #brewsky

What a great start to the week. 70+ temp outside lunch, beer & watching the USA women's hockey kick more ass. "Bock to the Future" at $5 happy hour price is the cherry on top at the impressive Ferus Artisan Ales in Trussville, Alabama. #alabamabeer #bamabeer #bskybeer #beersky #maltylager

📢 New podcast episode! ▶️ This week we talk about the new beer style guidelines, 2025 stats, 150-year old beer, brewing with bear poop (for some reason), and a lot more! 🍻 #CraftBeer 🎧Listen on all popular (and unpopular) podcasting apps!

Participation in #stouturday with this lovely 4.8% Conroy's Irish Stout from #GreatLakesBrewingCo. I'm not normally a big Olympic watcher but I'm loving these crazy snow events, including the women's ski jump. #beer #bier #olympicsbeer #beersky #bskybeer

Watching the Olympics, let's go USA Women's hockey! Enjoying this 5% "winter" black lager from #OldNationBeer. Valentine's Day tree is looking good in the background. #beer #bier #lager #bskybeer #beersky

Last weekend I visited two breweries almost right next to each other in small town Augusta, Kansas USA. Redbud Brewing Bock and Park Bench Brewing Czech dark. I love me some good lagers, the Bock was decent but the Czech dark was not. #ksbeer #kansasbeer #beer #bier #bskybeer #beersky

Just a 7.2% Malty Bock and a game of UNO. #bskybeer #beer #beersky

A stop at The Leprechaun Lab in Wichita, Kansas USA last Saturday. Small cozy taproom with friendly people. 'Wayne Brady' 3.1% Dark Mild on nitro, very enjoyable. #beer #bier #kansasbeer #wichitabeer #bskybeer #beersky

Here's a great way to show off my latest piece of beer decor. @fatheadsbeer.bsky.social St Fatty's 4.8% Irish Red Ale. Canned on New Year's Eve, 2025, it pairs well with the tin placard I picked when I was in Middleburg Heights, Ohio last. #beer #bskybeer #beersky #ale #bier

Been having some piss poor luck recently w/ flights/rental cars. 3+ hour delay, I had to kill some time @ the airport in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Stone Arch Craft is a beer lover's paradise with tons of local craft on tap. $10 Pub Ale from #NineMileBrewing & a $11 hazy from #elmcreekbrewing #bskybeer

Final beer tonight is a (sort of) local offering and fresh (according to the best by date of June 2026). A beer style traditionally not in my enjoyment sphere, I do like this one occasionally. @boulevardbeer.bsky.social #Tank7 is an 8.5% American Saison Ale #bskybeer #beer #beersky #hotelbeer

Hey @dingsbeerblog.bsky.social, what's this? A low abv dark mild in 'merica? #bskybeer

@beerguysradio.bsky.social here's another pistachio cream ale example 🍻

My 1st visit to #RedbudBrewing in Augusta, Kansas USA. A pour of their P.D.Q. Bock, but listed as "Bach" on untappd. A strong and malty weizenbock, it was a friendly atmosphere, including a nice man celebrating his 80th birthday. $1 sticker 👊. #ksbeer #kansasbeer #bskybeer #beer #beersky #bier

Taking full advantage of the hotel amenities, I've hit the hot tub, the pool & the fire pit outside that they for some reason have lit but it works perfectly for a fella who lives #upnorth even though it's too chilly out for most. #beer #bskybeer #beersky #wichita

A visit to #WichitaBrewingCo for Kansas Day and lunch with my aunt. I try to meet with her as often as possible since my uncle passed. $3.40 pours and delicious pizza. A nice hazy and malty brown. #ictbeer #ksbeer #wichita #beer #bskybeer #beersky #brewsky #bier

1st visit to #martincitybrewing in Lenexa, Kansas USA. They've got quite a few taproom locations around Kansas City metro. $6 pint of brown ale, not very good. Place had Valentine's Day decor EVERYWHERE! $3 sticker 🙄. #kcbeer #beer #bskybeer #beersky #brewsky #bier

1st visit to #saltcitybeer in Hutchinson, Kansas USA. Had a pour of their 5.8% Vienna Lager 'State Fair'. Smooth & malty, I love these kind of lagers but a bit too sweet for a Vienna. They were out of stickers 😥 $6.60 plus tip, but just a 14oz pour. #ksbeer #kansasbeer #bskybeer #beer #beersky #bier

These beers from Brewery Faisan out of Detroit, Michigan look delicious but I'm just not going to buy beer anymore that doesn't have a canning date, or a best by date at a minimum. Especially when I've seen these cans sitting on a shelf for many months now. #drinkfreshbeer #michiganbeer #bskybeer

Great night of #hockey watching both #MSUSpartans vs Minnesota, Detroit #RedWings vs Winnipeg. #nhl #lgrw Appropriate #MichiganBeer, a 7.2% toasty Bock from #OddSideAles. #beer #bier #beersky #bskybeer #brewsky #lager

Having one of the beers I got in Ohio this week. 'Surf to Slope' is a 5% New Zealand style pilsner from #Mastheadbrewing Canned on January 16, that's what I call fresh! Zesty & hoppy, this ain't for the timid. #beer #ohbeer #lager #bskybeer #beersky #brewsky

1st visit to #TheRichfieldBrewingCo in Richfield, Ohio. The Vienna lager was outstanding, one of the best I've had. A bit too smokey of a porter for me though. Free sticker! Happy hour, $4.50/pour! 😍 #ohiocraftbeer #bskybeer #beersky #brewsky #ohbeer #bier #beer

1st visit to #BellTowerBrewing in Kent, Ohio USA. Small pour of 4.7% American Bock 'Baby got Bock', a triple collab with them, HiHo & Noble Beast Brewing. $1 sicker! Reasonable $4 for a 10oz pour, a nice option at lunchtime. #bskybeer #beersky #brewsky #beer #bier #ohiobeer #ohbeer

Had my 62nd and 63rd different beers from my favorite brewery, #FatHeadsBeer in Middleburg Heights, Ohio USA. A 4.8% red Hefeweizen 'Apres Hefe Bernsteinfarbenes Weizen' and a 5.4% hazy pale ale 'Peacherine Fuzz Hazy'. #OhioBeer #beer #bskybeer #beersky #brewsky #bier

Date night with my super hot wife, having a couple of huge Modelo pours. 🍻

Okay, let's go #RedWings #lgrw Pairing the #nhl game versus the #SanJoseSharks with this #MichiganBeer from #OldNationBrewing the appropriately famous NEIPA. Tied 2-2 after 3 periods, gotta get 2 points! #beer #bskybeer #beersky #bier

Good start to Friday is this malty ale from Great Lakes Brewing Company's 'Conway's Irish Ale' #beer #beerday #bskybeer #beersky #brewsky

Two new-to-me Brewery taproom visits today. #BattleAlley Brewing in Holly, Michigan. An enjoyable pour of their 5.2% English Brown Ale 'Take the Biscuit'. Sticker was $2.25 🫤. Saved the calories for the beer 😂 #MiBeer #brownale #beer #bskybeer #beersky #brewsky
