On the penultimate day of Burger Week IV we get a burger that I have been waiting for, The Smoinkster. This is a burger that redefines the term smokey, with only two ingredients that don’t have some aspect of smoke in them.
As we march forward towards the end of The Oinkster’s Burger Week IV, today we get a classed up version of an American classic, The Big Mac. This particular burger has graced the Burger Week line up for a couple of years now and judging from the crowd at opening today, it will probably be […]
We’ve reached the halfway point of The Oinkster’s Burger Week IV and, appropriately so, today’s burger is the annual Grill ‘Em All guest burger, The Pantera Burger. Compared to the first few days burgers, this one is definitely a heavy hitter that’s not for the weak (or those with heart problems). Grill ‘Em All, for […]
So far we’ve eased into The Oinkster’s Burger Week IV, but starting today the gloves are off. The Turducken is a burger that does not mess around, with a mix of duck, turkey, and chicken that would put your standard holiday meal to shame. The turducken is the modern American descendant of the time old […]
We’ve made it to day 2 of The Oinkster’s Burger Week IV and today’s burger is definitely something you’ve never seen before, the HotBurg on a Stick. This burger is an homage to the shopping mall staple Hotdog on a Stick but with a Burger Week twist. So for those sheltered few, Hotdog on a […]

Since one of the biggest players in the contract brewing game, Firestone Walker, announced that they would be starting to discontinue their contract operations there has been some question as to who would step up and fill the demand […]
I like to think I have my finger on the pulse of Southern California beer, and for the most part I can say that I know a good deal of whats going on and coming up in the LA beer scene. Stone Saison was the exception to this. When they posted the picture on Twitter, […]
I’ve been a big fan of Noble Ale Works for a while now, but haven’t gotten around to writing about them because their bottles are a bit hard to find at times. But the other night one literally landed in my lap and I knew it was time to make it happen. The Messenger is […]
If you haven’t noticed yet, Game of Thrones is about to start-up again (as evident by the billboards all over town). To coincide with this, the next beer in Ommegang’s Game of Thrones series has been introduced. This time around the beer is the Fire and Blood Red Ale, an homage to the motto of […]
