Round 3 of our mini Thanksgiving Day beer tasting was the Saison Dupont Farmhouse Ale. Since I’ve already written about this outstanding beer, this will be more about how it went with our meal. Once dinner was ready, we sat down and immediately started passing around the food. […]
Round 2 of our mini Thanksgiving Day beer tasting would be a Founders Breakfast Stout. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this lurking in the back of my In-Law’s fridge, since it’s the polar opposite of what they usually have in stock (think Yuengling Lager and Heinekin). […]
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 […]
