In this Beer Minute, I have the privilege of tasting Russian River Batch 001, aged in New Belgium La Folie barrels. Truly one of the best beers of my life, this is the stuff of legends…
On the Twelfth Day of Christmas…
My true love gave to me… Evil Twin Christmas Eve At A New York City Hotel Room…Now that’s a mouthful. And so in true tradition, upon this Twelfth Day, January 6, I bring you my Twelfth Beer of Christmas! While this long Evil Twin name doesn’t really fit into the rhyme or chime of the [...]
On the Eleventh Day of Christmas…
My true love gave to me… Ommegang Adoration! So excited to try this one… Ommegang Adoration, 10% ABV: It was a day of beginnings! Their first Strong Winter Ale was featured at the 1st Annual Holiday Beer Tasting at the Lumberyard Tavern in Encinitas, California (hosted by yours truly!). Lots of caramel, candi sugar, orange [...]

My true love gave to me… Mikkeller To & From! I am absolutely THRILLED with this beer.

On the Eighth Day of Christmas…
My true love gave to me… Hoppin’ Frog Christmas! And a case of Déjà vu. Hoppin’ Frog Frosted Frog Christmas Ale, 8.6% ABV: Seriously, this is uncanny. This beer immediately reminds me of its Ohio beer brethren, Great Lakes Christmas Ale. Subconscious power of suggestion? Maybe. However, this offering presents much more concentrated aromas of malt, [...]
On the Seventh Day of Christmas…
My true love gave to me… Moylan’s White Christmas! I don’t know how many of you actually received a White Christmas this fine year, but this San Diego/North Carolina beach girl saw nothing of the sort. So I decided to take my snowflakes in the liquid form with Moylan’s White Christmas Lager. Coupled with the [...]
