We love a good beer festival. It’s the most efficient way to try a slew of new beers for a relatively low cost. Plus, it’s social, exciting, and you might even be able to talk beer with the actual brewers. One of the shortcomings though, is remembering which beer was so awesome when you tasted it. There are… Continue reading Take Note! Free Festival Rating Book

Scouting for Some Mint in Your Beer – Boulevard Tripel Julep
You’ve probably already heard about Boulevard Tripel Julep, the special one-off mint julep-inspired beer that is being releasing on tap this week. If not … it is Long Strange Tripel aged in bourbon whiskey barrels and spiced with fresh mint leaves. Sounds derby-tastic! The first keg was tapped at the Reiger last night. But don’t… Continue reading Scouting for Some Mint in Your Beer – Boulevard Tripel Julep
It’s CoMo Good: the 2013 Missouri Beer Festival
My wife and I have a couple of friend who both graduated from the University of Missouri. After graduating, they moved to Kansas City, but one of their jobs took them back back to Columbia a few years ago. When the four of us get together, we catch up with discussions of new restaurants or events we’ve been to… Continue reading It’s CoMo Good: the 2013 Missouri Beer Festival
A Beer Event Calendar to Rule Them All
I think we’re done with snow. We’ve had a 70° day. So that must mean that spring is actually here, right? Time to talk baseball, soccer, and beer festivals. While we cannot keep up with news on the Royals or Sportos, we will inform you on upcoming beer tastings, festivals, and dinners. How, you ask, will… Continue reading A Beer Event Calendar to Rule Them All
Omaha Beer Fest 2013
The summer’s festivals keep piling up. June 7 & 8 is the Omaha Beer Fest at Aksarben Village. This one is a bit farther away, but it might be worth the easy drive up I-29 to Omaha. At a quick glance, about half of the 40-some breweries listed on the website do not distribute around KC. That’s a lot of… Continue reading Omaha Beer Fest 2013
Omaha Beer Week
We received our first press release here at Beer Scout Headquarters over the holidays. With our many trips across southern Missouri and around the metro, it kinda slipped thru the cracks. The second Omaha Beer Week will take place in Omaha the week of February 15–24. None of the Scouts made it to the first… Continue reading Omaha Beer Week
All Aboard! The Train’s About to Pull into Bier Station
Occasionally you stumble upon an idea so grand and yet so simple that you wonder why or how no one had pulled it off before. A combined liquor store and bar happens to be one of those ideas. Beer for here … and beer to go? Some brewpubs have growlers to go. Some bars can sell… Continue reading All Aboard! The Train’s About to Pull into Bier Station
Zwanze Day 2012 Recap
Hey, remember that image of the tent in the snow when we first relayed the Zwanze Day details? Or that tweet about camping out for beer? Yeah … bit wrong on those. No snow. Not even a cool breeze. I walked up to the line snaking out in front of the Foundry in Westport at about 9:45… Continue reading Zwanze Day 2012 Recap
Happy Repeal Day, America!
Seventy-nine years ago today Utah (of all states) ratified the 21st Amendment to the US Constitution, legalizing the production, sale, import, export, and consumption of alcohol. The ignoble experiment was over. The Beer Scouts are celebrating Repeal Day tonight at our December meeting. Exercise your right to imbibe by stopping by your favorite watering hole or liquor… Continue reading Happy Repeal Day, America!
