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.

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. ...

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.

Within that dispute, though, there has always been—at least from what I have perceived in wine-drinking circles—an almost mystical deference to one region above all others,...

Having finally recovered from my Beeritas tasting, I decided it was time to go back to my forte, wine. And what better way than with another of Harvard Law’s tasting organizations, In Vino Veritas? In Vino is no ordinary organization, either. It’s easily the most prestigious of Harvard’s food-related societies, with an...

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.

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...
