Pretty special beer here as it’s the first beer of my new “Beer Club” that I’ve joined.  The local Whole Foods has a … Continue reading Urban Farmhouse!

Ok, recurring theme lately….more barrel aged beer for me.  It’s kind of that time of the year really, a little chilly (well, CA chilly…) but this is the kind of beer I enjoy when the weather is a little cold.  High ABV and a nice hearty taste…..perfect.

Another day, another beer I say…I’ve got a bunch of amazing beers in the fridge, seriously….world class suds coming soon.  In the meantime, I had a chance to sample from on of my favorite breweries…Stone.  Stone does a lot of collaboration beers which I really enjoy.  Mix up a few different beer styles and approaches to brewing…and, boom.  Hoppy, suddy happiness.
