It’s hard to believe we only have 4 more beers left!  For December 20th, we blindly chose our beers.  Bonfire Brown and Santa’s Breath. The Bonfire Brown is an American Style Brown Ale and is made in Michigan!  At 5.5% ABV, it had a different flavor to it… hard to figure out.  It’s not one…

As we are getting to the last few beers (and shots), it’s been an interesting mix and has been giving us ideas on how to make this better for next year. The beers for the 19th day of December were Java Stout and Holiday Cheer; Kristen’s shot was Cake Vodka.   The Santa Fe Brewing…

No snow today… but it was a bit chilly outside!  Perfect for tonight’s beers that were chosen.  Anchor Coffee Porter, Nut Cracker by Rochester Mills and a Chocolate shot for Kristen. The Anchor Coffee Porter is an ale brewed with coffee.  At 6.7% ABV, this is a nice beer to drink. This is made by…

When we got back to the cabin we found how much more snow accumulated… this was pretty cool to see and I couldn’t help but put a handprint in the snow. 🙂 The beers chosen were Lump of Coal and Carrot Cake.  Kristen’s shot of the night was Butterscotch Liqueur. The Lump of Coal is…

The beers for Day 16 were Chocolate Milk Stout and Space Station Middle Finger.  Kristen’s shot was pecan pie vodka! The other night I had Chocolate Milk Stout and this time Josh ended up getting it.  As mentioned before, this is by 4Hands Brewing and is one of our favorites.  Definitely has that chocolate milk…

The beers for Day 15 were Darkstar (which I believe I’ve written about before) and German Chocolate Cake.  Kristen’s shot of the night was red licorice. The Darkstar beer is a coffee stout at 8% ABV made by Big Lake Brewing in Holland, Michigan.  It is an OK beer – worth at least a try…

I suppose these posts will go out the day after from now on until the internet gets a bit better… plus, it’ll give us time to enjoy our beers together rather than me being on the computer writing about them. 😉 The beers blindly chosen for Day 13 were Breakfast Oatmeal Stout and Toasted Marshmallow. …

Today we woke up and it was not snowing… however, as the day went on, the snow did come back!  Very pretty at times, too.  Luckily, I was able to get out for a private painting session down the road, so it was nice to get out and learn some new techniques from a great…

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…
