Since it looks like the bitter cold weather is back, I’ve decided to try a dark and menacing beer this evening. Though 27 degrees is definitely cold (the current temp out there), I really shouldn’t complain, because it’s not going to get above 30 degrees in Kalamazoo, MI […]
Green Flash: a momentary green appearance of the uppermost part of the sun’s disk at sunrise or sunset that results from atmospheric refraction. Green Flash Brewing Company is yet another San Diego based craft brewer. They were founded in 2002 by the husband and wife team of Mike […]

The Sam Adams Holiday Porter was a part of the sampler pack that I was given as an extra Christmas present from my father-in-law. As a fan of darker beers, I looked forward to trying the Holiday Porter and it did not disappoint. The nose was filled with […]
