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

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.

Having gone almost a full week without power up here in the frozen northeast, I thought it best to sample a beer that would warm my bones since the heating unit can’t seem to help me. Several weeks ago, after visiting a new beer store, I came across this interesting looking beer and thought I’d bring it home. Trust me, the situation was as lot more romantic than I made it sound, but I don’t want to bore you with the disgusting details. Instead I’ll tell you about yet another successful conquest.
As I mentioned above, it was damn

Beer Review: Manchester Brewing, Emperor Norton’s Peppermint Stout

The name alone drew me to purchase this beer. In my mind I was thinking of a stout with a candy cane floating in it; 'tis the season, right? I really haven’t tried very much from Manchester Brewing, and I wanted to give something new a try, so a peppermint stout seemed to fit the bill.
Since this is a 22-ounce bottle, I got out the big glass and poured away. I did place the beer in the fridge for a short amount of time to chill before drinking. As soon as I popped the top I could smell
