WOW! 50 episodes! See them all listed out here. Clearly this is a small milestone for me. When I sat out to do this site my goal was to do as many videos as I could, but I had no idea I’d produce this many so quickly. I have a [...]

Rogue Hazelnut Nectar
I love hazelnuts. If they aren’t the best tasting nuts out there, then they’re at least the best smelling when roasted in the oven. The perfume they put off is so comforting to me and reminds me of fall. So when I finally decided to pick up a [...]

Tröegs Nugget Nectar (Redux)
Today’s session (or redux) is more of a “set the record straight” video than a review. Not long ago, I reviewed the Tröegs Nugget Nectar (seen here) that I had got in a recent trade. Well…unfortunately, after doing a bit of research on the bottle I had (which didn’t [...]

Oskar Blues Ten Fidy
Whoppers and tobacco – tobacco and Whoppers – in it together…how…why? Who cares? The Oskar Blues Ten Fidy is dee-frickin’-licious! That’s because there’s something very manly going on in this beer, and it starts from the minute you pour it straight from the can. The aromas immediately [...]

Pliny the Younger
I had not prepared myself for my most recent mind-bottling beer experience, but I had a last minute opportunity to share a growler of Russian River’s Pliny the Younger with a few beer geeks (I’ll call them my new BFFs). When I got the call, I knew immediately there was [...]

Old Rasputin XII Anniversary
It’s been a long time coming to have my good friend Tim on camera at The Hopry. So I pulled out the stops this night and went directly for a beer I’ve wanted to try for a very long time. This AMAZING bourbon barrel anniversary edition of the North [...]

The Hopry Survey Session
As I quickly approach the 50th session of The Hopry, I wanted to take a step back for a minute to reflect on how much fun I’ve had getting here. The hits on the site are growing quite rapidly. In fact, January’s hits were more than triple the amount [...]

Tröegs Nugget Nectar
Having originally done some research on this beer I determined through various sources that Tröegs Nugget Nectar was an IPA. However, one only needs to read the label on the bottle to see that it’s actually classified an Imperial Amber by the brewery. Well who I am I to [...]
