On Saturday, December 17th I opened Celebrator from Ayinger Brewery.  This is a Bavarian Double Bock beer and tastes really good – it has definitely been added to the favorites! Kristen’s shot of the day Sweet Retreat Peach Cobbler – I did end up getting to taste this one as well and it was OK.

Friday, December 16th I opened Founder’s Backwoods Bastard beer.  This ale is aged in oak bourbon barrels and tastes amazing.  If you have not tried this beer yet, I would highly recommend it. Day 16 for my sister is Mr. Stacks Cinnamon Schnapps – 30% alcohol.  She said this one tastes just like Fireball. 🙂

The beer for Thursday, December 15th is another substitute for an IPA… this is a beer I’ve always wanted to try but haven’t ever wanted to buy a 4-pack of it.  This Sticky Toffee Pudding Ale is brewed by Wells & Young’s Brewing out of Bedford, UK.  It is 5% alcohol and definitely has a…

On Monday, December 12th I decided to follow in my sister’s footsteps by seeing what I would be drinking later on in the day, first thing this morning.  Since I’m glad that decision was made, a double IPA was on the agenda.  As the day went on, I decided to make a new rule… if…

Even though I have only unwrapped this beer, this one is amazing!  Another favorite that I will always continue to buy.   The smooth taste of this is great.  The double chocolate coffee oatmeal stout tastes amazing and is by Founders Brewing in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  It has 8.3% alc. by volume and 60 IBUs….

On Thursday, December 8th I opened today’s beer and it’s called Synchopathic Wild Sour Series from Destihl Brewery out of Bloomington, IL. It is characterized as a dry-hopped sour ale. As I tasted this, it definitely has a sour taste at the end, but it also has a cider-like flavor, too. This beer is one…
