I really do love the Christmas season…the majority of individuals, despite a wretched economy, allow their mood and general good will to elevate. That woman at Walmart–stubbornly blocking the tight aisle with her cart and large body–moves out of the way without my exacerbated sighs. The teller at the bank pretends to be interested in [...]

In continuation of our Christmas beer binge, I’m posting about this Bison Christmas Ale.  As I might have mentioned before, a lot of Christmas Ales tend to be very spiced, which can be a real turn-off.  So, let me say that some beers we try will probably be this way.  However, this Bison beer is [...]

Samuel Adam’s Chocolate Bock is considered one of their extreme beers, if you look at their website.  They have [...]

This article has been a while in the making.  Part of the reason for the delay is that I was not quite sure how to address the rest of the Lager family of beers.  After a considerable amount of deliberation on the subject, I’ve decided to put them together.  As I’ve said at numerous points in [...]
