As the Boston Bruins skated toward a disappointing loss against their Stanley Cup rivals, the Vancouver Canucks, there was a matter of coffee to undertake. I’ve sampled coffee stouts before but not like this. Throwing together some chili, corn bread, and even chili dogs, the theme for the afternoon was to sample some coffee brews and see how they fared. Don’t worry, Avid Reader, I had some help.
Hinterland, Luna Coffee Stout – I wrote this up a short time ago and found it to be a good addition to my coffee beer repertoire: smooth, subtle and a nice

Otter Creek Brewing, 20th Anniversary Ale
by J Frazzetta on January 6th, 2012 | Beer
Bottle/tap: Bottle
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
by J Frazzetta on December 26th, 2011 | Beer
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

Saranac, 12 Beers of Winter
by J Frazzetta on December 19th, 2011 | Beer
Variety packs are a lot of fun when you want to get the most for your money. Of course this is also how a brewer will get you to try their new beer by lumping it in with a bunch of subpar brews in hopes that you won’t just drink that one beer you were looking for. I’m happy to report that is not the case here, avid reader. Instead, we are given two bottles of six different beers, and each one is sure to spread some holiday cheer this winter.
