Christmas Ale
Christmas Ale from Great Lakes Brewing Company Wow! This has instantly become one of my all time favorites! Available in the Cleveland area during the months of November and December only. Bars run out on a weekly basis! If you’re ever in the Cleveland area, you’ve gotta try it! I wish they had it year-round… → Read More
Wells Bombardier
I’m writing from home because my phone died at the Flying Saucer (BetaMouse fail, I know). The final beer of the evening was Wells Bombardier. It was included with the Christmas glass and probably chosen for its reddish hue and inexpensive price. Honestly I wasn’t very thrilled with the beer; very weak taste and overall… → Read More
Independence Brewing 6th Anniversary Braggot

Dogfish Head Theobroma
Tonight I’m drinking Dogfish Head Theobroma, an ale suggested to me by @MinnieMGirl on Twitter. From the bottle: “Theobroma, or ‘Food of the Gods,’ is a recreation of the premier chocolate beverage of the Americas, intended only for the gods, kings, and the elite. This liquid time capsule is based on the earliest chemical and… → Read More
