Looking to entertain my parents and knowing that my Pappy considers Miller Lite a beer adventure, I found myself a bit limited when it came to liquid refreshment. As I was going there anyway I went to the beer aisle at my local BJ’s to see what sort […]
Thanksgiving Day at the In-Laws. Since lagers usually rule at their house, I thought I would mix things up and bring over something interesting. It turns out that they too had an interesting beer lurking in their fridge. We had the makings of a mini beer tasting going […]
