When this is posted it will be December 25th so it’s a big Happy Christmas to everyone. Anyway back to the beer, day 24 and I got a dark beer at last […]
Day 21 – Is Santa a Rogue?
Another deviation from the official Beer Hawk Advent Calendar! Looks like I should have a bottle from Flying Dog. Instead I’ve got a bottle of Rogue Santa’s Private Reserve. Try as hard […]
Day 20 – V for Victory again.
Back on the same footing as the official Beer Hawk Advent Calendar today. We both got Victory Beer Vital IPA. Although it’s the second beer from this Pennsylvania, USA, brewery it’s a […]

Day 1 of Advent and here we go. Rip the flap open and there’s something nestled nicely inside. Out it comes. And it’s … a bottle of Two Roads, Workers Comp Saison (4.8%). […]
