Nearing the end of the year, Beeritas decided to go all out with Tasters Choice, a night dedicated to picking out only the best beers that members have had in their young lives. Each member who so desired got one vote, offering to the club not just his/her favorite beer, but also the background story that explained why that beer...

For its next tasting, Harvard Law’s Beeritas is heading to Belgium, easily my favorite beer-producing country. While the more popular imported beers tend to be on the very traditional side (i.e. traditionally using only the 4 basic ingredients of beer), I find them done with a skillfulness that is very hard to emulate. Just...

This time around, Beeritas decided to go European, picking a representative beer from seven different European countries. Since there isn’t too much to say about the theme, other than that Europe produces some pretty damn good beer, I’ll get straight to the reviews. ...

It was the night of the State of the Union, and what a better way to celebrate than with the all-American activity of beer drinking? So, in anticipation of the President’s speech, and in the spirit of US solidarity, Harvard Law’s Beeritas put together a tasting from across the nation, finally bringing together the feuding...

I had been training for months, developing my palate to be able to withstand the force of any beer. After several tastings with Beeritas, I’d gone through the sour, the fruity, the dark and earthy, and the sweet. So I felt I was ready to yet again face the dreaded India Pale Ale, the one variety of beer I’ve never in my life...

And then I experienced a tasting with Haverhill Brewery, one of Massachusetts’ best-known and most...

Another week, another beerfest! And the theme for this week’s tasting is a great one, too: Oktoberfest and Pumpkin—a great way to kick off the fall with some seasonal beers. Just a bit of background before I let loose, though. I’ll start with Oktoberfest, which is a type of beer the Germans invented in 1818 for Munich’s...

As I’ve mentioned previously, I’m starting a new branch of the site, delving straight into the world of beer. I’ll be recruiting the help of Harvard Law’s very own beer drinking society, Beeritas, and posting notes of our tastings along with some beer history and process on a weekly or other-weekly basis. Now, that may sound...

Beer has, for the last couple years, been the one area of my drinking life that I’ve been neglecting. Most of the attention goes to fancy wines or spirits, since they’re more “refined,” but truth be told, there’s nothing quite as American as beer-drinking. I’m thinking it’s time to bring...

Not sweet like its counterpart Malt, but it has the same great, light, very drinkable quality. A tad bitter (lots of hops), but still refreshing. Overall Score: 3.5/5.0 _______________________ Cusqueña Malta Regional Beer...
