As we traveled for the holidays, this post is a bit overdue… so I figured I’d combine these last few days together. On the 19th day, I had the same beer my boyfriend had the night before and then he had a barrel aged ale.  The Hibernation Ale is aged in whiskey barrels and brewed…

On the eighteenth day of December, we opened a beer that was shared.  The other day we were cleaning up the garage and my boyfriend ran across an empty bottle of this.  He made a comment where I decided to not take this one out of our box and have it again this year. If…

On the seventeenth day of December, we opened a blonde ale and porter.  When we first unwrapped these, I was tempted to just do a shareable of a beer I’ve got stocked up because it is that good… but since we can’t find it up here in the U.P. of Michigan, I try to make…

On the sixteenth day of December we opened a beer from The Bruery and one from Old Bakery. My boyfriend had the Porter, which he said he’s had before… my bad on that one, but good news is he really likes that beer.  This is brewed by Old Bakery Beer Company located in Alton, Illinois. …

On the fifteenth day of December, we opened an ale and imperial stout. My boyfriend opened the Yeti Imperial Stout, which is brewed by Great Divide Brewing Company out of Denver, Colorado.  This came out of a gift set box that I found at the Craft Beer Cellar.  It is a stout aged in whiskey…

On the fourteenth day of December, we opened a beer that would be shared. If the cap looks a bit crooked to you, it is.  I accidentally opened it before taking the picture… excitement took over to see how good it smelled.  My boyfriend loves smoked porters, and since this is a 2018 edition, I…

On the thirteenth day we opened a beer from Boulevard Brewing and Oskar Blues. My boyfriend’s beer is the Nut Cracker, a Winter Warmer Ale, from Boulevard Brewing Company out of Kansas City, Missouri.  When he took a sip and I asked him how it was, he said he’s sure I will absolutely love this…

On the twelfth day of December, the next beer we tried was a porter and a Russian Imperial Stout. My boyfriend opened the Deschutes Black Butte Porter and informed me he has had this beer several times before… oops!  Obviously he really likes it… brewed by Deschutes Brewery in Bend, Oregon and at 5.2% ABV,…

On the eleventh day of December, I became pretty excited when my boyfriend opened his beer of the day!  It’s the one I had while shopping for the different type of beer to put in our advent box at the Craft Beer Cellar in Clayton, Missouri. 🙂  When I tried it, I thought it was…

On the tenth day of December we opened a porter and an ale. My boyfriend opened the Goose Parka Porter, brewed by Goose Island Beer Co. in Chicago, Illinois.  This one definitely has a bitter taste to it.  At 5.3% ABV, this is one that we would definitely pass on putting in our shopping cart…

On the ninth day of December we opened another coffee porter and an imperial milk stout, creme brulee. My boyfriend opened the Hotbox Coffee Porter brewed by Oskar Blues Brewery in Longmont, Colorado.  This is a very smooth tasting coffee porter and at 6.5% ABV, it’d definitely be a beer that we would pick up…
