Tonight’s beer we shared… by Rogue, it is Hazelutely Choctabulous Candy Bar in a Bottle. At 5.7% ABV, this is pretty smooth and you can taste the hazelnut. If you aren’t a hazelnut fan, this may not be the beer for you. As for Kristen, she chose the Brownie shot – she said ‘Yum!’ to…

Day 8 – Giddy Goat/Option #2/Kinky Green
Day 8 of our Adult Advent boxes and Day 3 of it snowing here in Michigan where we are at. With being from Southern Illinois, it still amazes me how it just keeps snowing! I am not complaining – am only amazed… and drawn into watching the snow during the day at times. One minute…
Day 7 – Bourbon Aged Dark Ale/Chocolate Cheesecake/Peachberry Cobbler
Growing up in Southern Illinois, it was very rare we would have a ‘big snow’. Experiencing the amount of snow that has fallen so far already up here in Michigan, it’s pretty exciting and still fun to watch (which I know, we’ll see if I say the same in February/March). The beers we blindly…
Day 6 – Imperial Biscotti Break/Imperial Java Stout/Apple Pie
Winter has started here in Michigan! Seeing it snow all day was fun, and very pretty to watch – especially since I work from home and didn’t have to go anywhere. When I decided to move up here, I was told about the Michigan winters and the snow… but I wasn’t told how big the…
Day 5 – Space Station Middle Finger/Spicy Mayan/Whipped Cream Vodka
Tonight we had an amazing dinner of venison roast… being able to smell it from outside the cabin was pretty nice! After coming back from a personal one-on-one painting instruction, it was time to eat and then blindly pick our beers for the night! Every night I silently wish to get a good beer… when…
Day 4 – Whiskey Barrel Stout/Coffee Porter/Pumpkin Spice Liqueur
Tonight’s blind picks are a whiskey barrel stout and coffee porter. Kristen’s shot is the pumpkin spice liqueur. Boulevard Brewing is out of Kansas City, Missouri and the whiskey barrel stout is definitely a sipper. At 11.8% ABV, this is definitely a strong one… and you can smell the whiskey once you pour it into…
Day 3 – Yeti Imperial Stout/Vanilla Porter/Jack Daniels Honey
Tonight’s beer is Yeti Imperial Stout and Vanilla Porter. Kristen ended up opening Jack Daniels Honey. The Yeti Imperial Stout is brewed in Denver Colorado and is 9.5%ABV. To me, it is a bit hoppy. Josh likes it though – says it has a coffee flavor. The Vanilla Porter is from Gonzo’s Biggdogg Brewing in…
Day 2 – Widow Maker/Uncommon Stout/Vodka
Tonight we closed our eyes and randomly selected a beer from our boxes. Kristen opened the other shot she brought with her… The first time I had Widow Maker was at a restaurant in Caseville, MI. Don’t be afraid of the dark it says on the side of the can. 🙂 This is made by…
Day 1 – Innis & Gunn/Christmas Roast/Stroopwafel Shot
Next year I will have to make sure to wrap the beer Josh tries a bit differently… he can tell what type of beer it is from the bottle shape apparently! Anyways, our randomly selected beers tonight were Innis & Gunn Rum Aged beer and Christmas Roast by Rochester Mills here in Michigan. If you…
It’s about time again!
Last year I purchased an adult advent box from the Craft Beer Cellar in Clayton, MO. Since it will be December before we know it, this year there are 3 participants so far… me, my sister and my boyfriend. Kristen will be doing a different shot every day from December 1st – December 24th and…
Crown Royal Salted Caramel Whiskey
If you saw a picture of this Crown Royal flavored whiskey, would you try it? Would you go to almost every party store to see if they have it available? When I first saw an image of this, it peaked my interest. Anything salted caramel I’d be willing to try – and Crown Royal… it…
Fresh Cravings Salsa
This post is a little overdue… especially since this salsa is amazing! If you are a fan of salsa like we are, this is one to definitely give a try. The only reason why we did try this is because iBotta had a rebate and salsa was on our list to get. 🙂 If you…
