Day 8: Imperial Biscotti Break, Celebration, Eggnog Liqueur
On December 8, 2019, we opened a beer from Evil Twin Brewing, Sierra Nevada, and an Eggnog shot. In the stout advent box, it was the Imperial Biscotti Break beer. This one is really good… easy drinking and a good overall stout flavor. It doesn’t have a wow factor, but definitely good. It was in…
Day 7: Fantastic Voyage, Coffee Bender, Tequila

Day 6: Amber Ale, Late Night Karate Kicks, Stryker
Happy Friday! Tonight’s beer for both of us is NOT going to include taking the shot out of the advent box… will explain why towards the end. Out of the stout advent box, it is an Amber Ale. Definitely smells a bit hoppy, but the taste isn’t too bad. This is an American Amber Ale…
Day 3: Coffee Stout, Ninja Vs. Unicorn, The Manhattan Rye Whiskey
A cloudy day with light snow showers today! After dinner we found what beer was in store for us, as well as the shot. I knew the IPA was inevitable… and today is the day for me. Not quite sure if the stout box has any in it, but I know in mine there are…
Days 19 – 24
As we traveled for the holidays, this post is a bit overdue… so I figured I’d combine these last few days together. On the 19th day, I had the same beer my boyfriend had the night before and then he had a barrel aged ale. The Hibernation Ale is aged in whiskey barrels and brewed…
Day 18 – Lump of Coal

Day 17 – Blonde Ale & Porter
On the seventeenth day of December, we opened a blonde ale and porter. When we first unwrapped these, I was tempted to just do a shareable of a beer I’ve got stocked up because it is that good… but since we can’t find it up here in the U.P. of Michigan, I try to make…

Day 14 – Smoked Porter
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…
