Harpoon Summer Sampler 12x12
Beers included: Summer Style, Day Drifter IPA, Harpoon IPA, Camp Wannamango Purchase Date 3 August 2024 Purchase Price $18.99 Initial Impressions I didn't set out to buy seasonal sample packs all summer, but summer has always been my favorite beer season, and I found a few I was excited to see.  The last summer 12x12 of the season, Harpoon is a brewery I thought I had talked more about in this space. I did brew a batch of Summer Somewhere inspired by the original UFO Hefewiezen . Some of my favorite Harpoon beers are classic styles like UFO Hef, Celtic Ale and Octoberfest. The old Harpoon Summer Beer was also a favorite, but I am fairly certain the new "Summer Style" is the same beer or close. Summer Beer was replaced by Camp Wannamango, which has since been demoted to the sampler. Day Drifter "nitro dosed" IPA is a new release; I have no idea what a nitro dosed IPA is supposed to be. The flagship IPA is always a great beer to go back to. This was my first gateway to hop-forward b

Whiskey Review: Tullamore D.E.W. Irish Whiskey
Introduction This week on the Film & Whiskey Podcast, we're revisiting a classic: Tullamore D.E.W. Irish Whiskey . Or is it Tullamore “Dew”? The bottle label has periods (D.E.W.), but most references pronounce it simply as “Dew,” so we’re rolling with that. Tullamore D.E.W. is one of the most recognizable names in Irish whiskey. We’ve covered it before—including a few of their barrel-finished variants like the Caribbean cask—but today we’re going back to the flagship expression. This is a triple-distilled blended Irish whiskey that combines all three styles: malt whiskey, grain whiskey, and pot still whiskey. It’s bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV) and is non-age stated , though we know it’s at least three years old to meet Irish whiskey regulations. Tullamore D.E.W. has long been positioned alongside Jameson as a go-to budget pour, and we wanted to see how it holds up in 2025. Is it still a solid pick for the price? Or a

One Day in July...
    I wrote this back in July. I was in a pretty dark place a the time, it was a bit of that darkness that was driving me at the time. Feeling better now as I approach a year of sobriety, but I felt compelled to put this into the world to remind myself that I can keep coming back, every time. It's hard to believe a decade has passed so quickly. Time is relative, I've been told, and as I get older, it does seem to be speeding up, even as I feel like I'm slowing down. On July 11, 2015, I changed my handle on Instagram from RobbyBaconStrips to the DrunkPolkaroo after a particularly drunken night where I made promises to go to a beer festival the next day, drunk me making plans sober me could not afford. The origin of the name is something I've gone over way back in the early days (Find it here : Why the Drunk Polkaroo? ), but it was never intended to be about craft beer or anything other than a silly play on words and my ridiculous propensity for having a few more wobbly pops th
