You got smart family friends.
Its that time of the year again my friendsā¦
The time to brew stouts and porters and throw whatever the heck is piled up next to you into the wort is here! Twigs, berries, why not? Marshmallow, peppermint, dont mind if i do! They are all interesting⦠but there is a reason they are all seasonal. ![]()
Coors Lights seem to brew themselves and dont suck
Fresh you need to get yourself one of these holiday Hardywood Packs and some slippers and a chair and a pipe and a fire and drink that stuff. Itās really good. Then go back to the Banquet. Try it though.
I have an RVA friend that ships one to me each year because I canāt get them in AZ. Great time of the year.
I have the same type of hook up
Is that a hint? Haha
Not yet its still 80 degrees down here too warm for stouts
Does anyone know if you can find the holiday pack in Norfolk? May get my brother to bring it down when he comes to Texas for Christmas
Should be able to⦠its all over Virginia
Just let me knowā¦

Thatās a good one. They narrowly escaped the flooding damage that smashed a number of facilities. I like a lower ABV IPA like that.
Glad to hear their avoided being lost in the storm. I generally like their stuff. But I agree the lower Abv makes this a smooth sipper

Checked this out todayā¦annual event for those in the Richmond area. No charge to get in and drink tickets werenāt badā¦$7.50 for a 12 oz. pour or $3 for 4 oz. samplers. My wife & I just got like a dozen of the $3 tickets. Dozens of beer options all over the park, along with some ciders & meads (not really my thing). Several food trucks, live music, and weather was perfect. Weāll go back next year.
Iām not totally sure why this works⦠but truly enjoyed this one. Perhaps itās because it 9.2% ABV⦠Iām still confused why i liked the peppermint in it⦠i donāt think i should have.
Yea⦠im not a big peppermint guy but i could see that being very good or awful no in-between
Updates!! Aslin at my local shop, love it. Hope other VA beers make it.
And getting caught up for the weekend with a great PDX beers from Great Notion.
