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…

We woke up on the 4th day of December to a pretty chilly morning here in the UP of Michigan. When it came time to open our next beer, my boyfriend opened another milk stout and my eyes lit up when mine was a pumpkin beer. The coffee milk stout is called Arabicadabra by Bell’s…

On the 3rd day of December we opened our beer to drink and found that they are both from the same brewery… imagine that!  I did not do that on purpose though… it was OK since they weren’t the same beer! My boyfriend had the Cat Cafe milk stout with coffee added.  This is made…
