Receiving the Evcharist: Boleskine House and Tahoe Deep

Receiving the Evcharist 2018

It already feels like spring has come and gone in my part of the US, with the sweltering dry heat of summer already rearing its horrible head. Today we drink from the cup of heresy with a pairing that serves as an epitaph for spring and a toast to the memory of summers past (more on that later) with Boleskine House‘s Miserabilist Blues and Knee Deep Brewing Co.‘s Tahoe Deep.

Receiving the Evcharist 2018

Receiving the Rainbows…Evcharist in the Dark?  Not sure what to call this one, but who cares! We’re carrying over the fun from yesterday into a weekend double feature.  What are Sundays for, if not for jazz brunches and day drinking anyway?  Drink from the cup of heresy.  This week’s offerings: Sons of Ra’s Tropic of Cancer and Illuminated Brew Works’ Hallucignosis.

I know it’s been awhile since I’ve graced these corners of our site, but I’ve been desperately trying to motivate myself to finally check out some of the stuff that’s come out in the new year, and alcohol seemed as motivating as anything. Is that an issue? Yes. Well, probably. Anyway, here we are. For one reason or another I’ve been on a bit of a sludgy stonery desert rock kick lately, so I’ve opted to grab something of that variety from the promo pile and pair it with an offering from one of the better breweries in the region… but not a style they are necessarily known for. Today we have Sundrifter’s An Earlier Time and Lawson’s Finest Liquids Nitro Stout.

Receiving the Evcharist: Obsidian Tongue and Amarilla Gorilla

Receiving the Evcharist 2018

2023 was pretty massive and the end of the year season got me a little burned out (can anyone else relate?), so I’ve decided to slowly ease myself back into digesting new music for 2024. I’m starting my contributions for this year’s Evcharist in just the right way with two very solid offerings: Obsidian Tongue’s The Stone Heart and Smog City Brewing’s Amarilla Gorilla.
