Here are all my posts about my beer hauls

Steins Haul

I haven’t had a chance to post this up yet, but here is a haul from Steins Deli.  Between Steins and Whole Foods, there is really no better selection of craft beers in the city.

I recently went to Steins for the first time with a friend of mine.  After wondering around looking for the beer room, hoping we weren’t stumbling into the employee break room or anything, we found New Orleans beer nirvana.  Since it was our first trip here, I didn’t want to break the bank and buy everything.  This is what I came home with:

Preparing for a tasting

I have always been a believer that if you are going to do something, spend the time to do it correctly.  This has gotten me thinking about BX14.  I have a large number of pint glasses that we can use, but is that the best way to do it?  Since we have a few people coming and quite a few beers to be getting through, we will only be having three or so ounces per pour.  Will we be missing out on aromas from the brews in the large pint glasses?  I found these 5oz Belgium tasting glasses by Libbey.  For now, I will get a few and see how it goes.  Have any of you held tastings with large pint glasses?  Did it hurt the tasting at all?  Anyway, here is what I ordered.
