On Saturday, December 19th, 2020, our beer of the night is from 4Hands Brewing Company, out of St. Louis, Missouri. This is a peanut butter chocolate milk stout and at 7.1%, this is a very smooth sipper.  Josh isn’t a fan of peanut butter stouts, but he said this one is pretty good.  The peanut…

On Friday, December 18th, 2020, our beer of the night is a Shiner Holiday Cheer beer.  This is a seasonal beer. This beer is brewed by Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, TX.  At 5.4% ABV, this is a different type of beer… one we would not have put in our craft beer advent box.  The smell…

On Thursday, December 17th, 2020, our beer of the night is another milk stout.  This one is brewed by Left Hand Brewing Company out of Longmont, Colorado. When I first opened this one, I did tap on it, just in case… once I flipped that tab, I thought it was going to spurt out but…

On Wednesday, December 16th, 2020 our beer of the night is Chocolate Milk Stout – one of our favorites! I remember when I lived in St. Louis and I met a friend at a bar downtown… they had this one on tap and I remember how it tasted SO good.  This one is brewed by…

On Monday, December 14th, 2020, our beer of the day is an English-Style Old Ale, a classic winter warmer. This is brewed by Avery Brewing out of Boulder, Colorado.  As mentioned in another post, Avery Brewing makes good beer.  This is one that Josh likes and I am not a fan.  My reason is because…

On Sunday, December 13th, 2020 our beer of the day is Cabra Loca  – a dark spice chocolate espresso milk stout brewed with cayenne, cocoa and cinnamon. This beer was not shaken up at all – however, when I opened it, beer started coming out the top like a volcano erupting… the beer in the…

On Saturday, December 12th, 2020 our beer of the day is Xocoveza – an imperial stout inspired by Mexican hot chocolate… yes, our eyes were pretty wide open when we read that one. Our cats, Milo and Oliver, were a bit stand-offish about this one, too… This beer is definitely one of a kind.  With…

On Friday, December 11th, 2020 our beer of the day is from a brewery near my hometown in Southern Illinois.  This PBC (Peanut Butter Cup) Stout definitely has a peanut butter smell to it! This is brewed by Big Muddy Brewing in Murphysboro, Illinois.  At 5.5% ABV, this is a smooth stout to drink –…

On Thursday, December 10th, 2020 our beer of the day is a coffee maple stout. This beer is brewed by the Sherring Brewing Company out of Maryland Heights, MO.   At 6% ABV served in a 1 pint can, this isn’t too overpowering on the maple flavor.  It’s drinkable but to me, a bit weak. We…

On Wednesday, December 9th, 2020, our beer of the day is German Chocolate Cake Stout by Charleville Vineyard Microbrewery in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri. We knew this one would have some type of coconut flavor to it, and it does.  You can definitely smell the coconut, too.  At 6.3%, it’s not too strong.  We are not…

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…
