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.

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.

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...

Haverhill Brewery Normally, if I’m looking for variety, I don’t turn to beer. There might be beers of different strengths and different hoppiness, but I don’t find quite as much nuance in beer as I would in wine, for example. And then I experienced a tasting with Haverhill Brewery, one of Massachusetts’ best-known and most...
