Family Wedding = Hiatus

Sorry about the hiatus... I'm going to try to get back up and running, although it's tough to want to write after working during the week. I think what I'll normally be doing is writing a number of posts on Saturdays and Sundays about random stuff concerning the beer industry and whatnot, but doing updates during the week if there are events or tastings, etc.

Good Beer on a Budget 2: Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout

This one is very late, I know, but its necessary for me to publish a post on this. This beer, after all, was the whole inspiration for me to write such a post. This beer is an absolute steal on three fronts: taste, ABV content, and price.

Taste: This beer excels at being a smooth stout. If you're looking for something roasty, you're going to have to look elsewhere - the only bite you'll find here is from the hints of dark chocolate. Having been a while since I've had one, I'll have to update this post the next time I get one just to be more accurate.

ABV: Clocking in at around 10% ABV, this beer really gives you the nice warming experience of a good beer because, well, it is a fantastic beer! Anyways, two of these will put you over the edge, but you'd never know it from how smooth the beer is.

Price: And here's the kicker. You can get a four pack of this beer, which should easily retail for $10 or over, for $7.95. I believe, although I've not seen it, that they have been known to carry this beer at Trader Joe's, in which case, we could be looking at prices even lower.

Yet again, Garrett Oliver gives me reasons to really like him.
