On Tuesday, December 8th, 2020, we opened Dragon’s Milk Reserve. At first I thought we had this one last year, since they had an Oatmeal Cookie that was amazing, since it has the same colors, but then realized it was a 2020 batch. This is a bourbon barrel-aged stout with vanilla and chai spices. It…

Day 7: Ellie’s Brown
On Monday, December 7th, 2020, we opened an American Brown Ale. When I saw it was from Avery Brewing, I figured it had to be good – the beer we have had from Avery has always been really good.
Day 6 – Fantastic Voyage
On Sunday, December 6th, 2020, we opened Fantastic Voyage – I thought this one looked familiar, and what is interesting, is Josh had this one on December 7th, 2019… so 1 day off… and not even close to the amount of snow compared to last year. Here’s the link to the post: https://foodanddrinklover.blog/2019/12/08/day-7-fantastic-voyage-coffee-bender-tequila/ At first,…
Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Bars
Original recipe is at the bottom… wasn’t really a Pinterest fail, but lessons learned are below. 🙂 I used a large cookie sheet that is about 16″ x 17″ to make these. For the tin foil, I’d suggest using the size that is much wider than 12 inches. If I made these again, I would…
Day 5: Omar Porter
On Saturday, December 5th, 2020, our beer tonight is called Omar Porter, which we have had in a previous craft beer advent box before. The only snow right now where we are here in the U.P. of Michigan, is what you are seeing in my painting… so sad! This porter is OK… not the best…
Day 4 – Be Civil
On Friday, December 4th, 2020, our beer for tonight is an American Brown Ale – Be Civil, by Civil Life Brewing Company out of St. Louis, Missouri. For the most part, I’ll tolerate a brown ale… not one that I would go out of my way to drink though. I will say, that this does…
Day 3: Breakfast Stout
On Thursday, December 3rd, 2020, our beer of the day is Breakfast Stout by Founders. This is a double chocolate coffee oatmeal stout. We are a huge fan of a lot of the different types of stouts that Founders brews. This does have a little bit of a bitterness to it, but the flavor is…
Day 2 – For The Graham
On December 2nd, 2020 our beer of the day is called For The Graham – a S’mores inspired stout. We have had s’more flavored stouts before, so this was exciting to get to try. This is brewed by The Modern Brewery, Inc. out of St. Louis, Missouri. It comes in a 1 pint can and…
Day 1: Brownie Points
It’s an exciting time of year – trying new craft beer from the adult craft beer advent box! This was ordered from the Craft Beer Cellar in Clayton, MO and yes – they did ship to us! This year is a bit different – we are sharing an advent box instead of us each having…
Crockpot Chili
Chili is one of those dinners that are nice to have on a chilly day. It is not cold here today, but I wanted to share this for when that cold weather does hit us again. The original recipe is found at the very bottom. This one you can easily put in the crockpot to…
