Bottle/Tap: Bottle
Ever since this whole 100 Barrel Series started at Harpoon I have done my best to try as many of these special brews as I can get my hands on. According to this bottle, they are up to 39, but the website says they are at 40. Either way, today we’re taking a look at a beer brewed with spruce tips. I’ve seen people make tea out of spruce, so this beer didn’t sound like much of a stretch to me. I gave this big boy some space in the fridge to cool down and then

Stevens Point Brewing, 2012 Black Ale

Bottle/Tap: Bottle
The Mayans seem to have it all figured out that the world is going to end next December. I have a feeling this is going to be a bigger letdown than the infamous Y2K Bug that was going to destroy computers, crash planes and send humanity back to the dark ages -- yet here I sit typing on a computer. Apocalypse be damned, Avid Reader, we made it through the bug and 2011’s supposed rapture, I don’t fear the Mayans or the Reaper. The folks at Point Brewing in Wisconsin seem to be capitalizing on the impending

What better way to celebrate the end of the year than with a beer that is the cause for some celebration. In the past I have enjoyed brews by these folks in Vermont and I was happy to discover a twist on a familiar favorite. Otter Creek has many fine beers, and to ring in 20 years of brewing service to New England, they’ve upped the ante on their flagship Copper Ale and packed in a lot more punch.
The regular copper is a mellow beer with great color and a smooth body to drink that rounds

And Now for Something Different: Pearl Jam Faithfull Ale
by Jason Lightner on December 30th, 2011 | Beer
Greetings and salutations, folks!
If there's one thing I like more on any given day than a good drink, it's good music. Imagine my delight, then, when I was strolling through Beltway the other day, perusing the aisles for some festive favors and came across this – Dogfish Head Pearl Jam Faithfull Ale (yes, the spelling is correct). As a celebration of two important milestones in music, the 20th anniversary of Pearl Jam, and the release of their hit record Ten, Dogfish Head's latest offering is a treat for both beer and music lovers alike.

Wychwood Brewery, Hobgoblin

Bottle/Tap – Bottle
Rather than spend Christmas with an elf or the Grinch, I thought to invite a different creature over for holiday festivities. Yes, I know this makes me sound like I take in stray fictional creatures, but what can I say besides: I’m excited for next December already. That is another tale for another time, Avid Reader, and today I’m going to tell you about another small troublesome character, not to be confused with a Hobbit, who is often helpful yet mischievous: the hobgoblin.
This odd shaped bottle spent some quality time in the fridge cooling
