On Wednesday, December 21st the beer of the day is Lagunitas Brown Shugga’ Ale, which is a Sweet Release.  This is from Lagunitas Brewing Company in Petaluma, CA and Chicago, IL.  At 9.7% alcohol, you can definitely smell a sweet IPA.  As I have stated several times already through the month of December, I’m not…

Today’s beer is Snow & Tell, an oak-aged scotch ale.  If you are a fan of beers that are barrel-aged – this is a must to try!  It is from Boulevard Brewing in Kansas City.  This has 6.3% alcohol. My sister’s shot of the day is New Amsterdam Peach vodka.

On Sunday, December 18th I opened Three Philosophers from Omme Gang Brewery.  At 9.7%, it is definitely an IPA that I will not ever try again. Kristen’s shot for today was a chocolate liquor –   I did get a chance to try this shot as well and it definitely does taste like chocolate milk!

On Monday, December 19th I realized there aren’t many beers left to open!  This has been a fun month trying these different kinds.  This beer for tonight though is one I will not add to the favorite’s list.  It’s from 4Hands Brewing Co. here in St. Louis, MO.  At 5.5%, this is considered an IPA…

On Saturday, December 17th I opened Celebrator from Ayinger Brewery.  This is a Bavarian Double Bock beer and tastes really good – it has definitely been added to the favorites! Kristen’s shot of the day Sweet Retreat Peach Cobbler – I did end up getting to taste this one as well and it was OK.

Friday, December 16th I opened Founder’s Backwoods Bastard beer.  This ale is aged in oak bourbon barrels and tastes amazing.  If you have not tried this beer yet, I would highly recommend it. Day 16 for my sister is Mr. Stacks Cinnamon Schnapps – 30% alcohol.  She said this one tastes just like Fireball. 🙂

The beer for Thursday, December 15th is another substitute for an IPA… this is a beer I’ve always wanted to try but haven’t ever wanted to buy a 4-pack of it.  This Sticky Toffee Pudding Ale is brewed by Wells & Young’s Brewing out of Bedford, UK.  It is 5% alcohol and definitely has a…

On Wednesday, December 14th, I opened Liliko’i Kepolo Tropical & Tart beer, which is a Belgian-style white ale brewed with spices and passion fruit.  At 5.4% alcohol, this isn’t that bad of a beer.  It is drinkable, like a majority of the others tried, but I wouldn’t put it on my favorites list.  This is…

On Tuesday, December 13th I tried O’Fallon King Louie Toffee Stout.  This is brewed by O’Fallon Brewery in Maryland Heights, Missouri.  At 6.3% alcohol, it’s not too bad and has a little bit of a toffee taste to it.  I had seen this beer a week or so ago and was tempted to buy it,…

On Monday, December 12th I decided to follow in my sister’s footsteps by seeing what I would be drinking later on in the day, first thing this morning.  Since I’m glad that decision was made, a double IPA was on the agenda.  As the day went on, I decided to make a new rule… if…

Even though I have only unwrapped this beer, this one is amazing!  Another favorite that I will always continue to buy.   The smooth taste of this is great.  The double chocolate coffee oatmeal stout tastes amazing and is by Founders Brewing in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  It has 8.3% alc. by volume and 60 IBUs….
