Born of dark and cold and snow in the marrow of the northeast's longest night, HOWL comes in on wailing winds with winter-weary eyes burning holes in sunless shadows. In its darkened depths out inner voids are warmed.

Another new brewery to hit the shelves in MN, Pretty Things, from Westport MA has a Belgian style Quadruple that was brewed with pounds and pounds of dried plums. It's 9% ABV and I'm sure would go down nicely on a rainy night like tonight....

They ship these "wet" hops to Denver overnight and brew shortly after harvest, imparting an intensely grassy hop aroma and citrus hop flavor in a medium-bodied ale. 6.1% ABV. Nothing like a hoppy beer to watch the...

This dark amber wheat beer features fruity and spicy aromas galore. Significant strength underlies the pleasant citric appeal of this bock beer. Redolent with the flavors of harvest fruit, Moonglow typifies the traditional weizenbock-style so thoroughly enjoyed throughout Bavaria. Malts: import...

Adoration is a traditional dark winter ale, brewed in the Belgian-style, but with a twist- coriander, cardamom, mace, sweet orange peel, and grains of paradise. It weighs in at 10% ABV. I am fighting the urge to pop the cork on this one right now. I don't know if I can do it.

You read it correctly: beer for children. A non alcoholic beverage that looks just like Mommy and Daddies beer! Now the kiddies can join in with the grown ups, or just go have their own party like we see them doing in this crazy ad from Japan. That's not going to make the kids want to drink regular ...

Here's what the Widmer Brothers say: "This Doppelbock is fermented with both red tart and dark cherries then aged on new, toasted American Oak.

Here's what Jeff says about the beer: "Named after a black hole and a song, this is a porter like no other. We took an old English porter recipe, added some rye malt, and our porter was born.

Even if you like the snow, you gotta admit it is much nicer with a glass of big roasty stout in your hand... Cheers!
