It’s time once again for us to Fade into one of our most anticipated beer series of the year; The Fade to Black from Left Hand Brewing. Now on their 4th Volume in this series they have chosen the style of “Rocky Mountain Black Ale”. The previous versions in order were a…
Located in Middlebury, Vermont Woodchuck Hard Cider has a multitude of cider creations. Along with several year round cider options they also produce four limited releases that correspond to the seasons. So it is with no surprise then that today we are trying their Winter Seasonal. To create a unique and hopefully…
We welcome not only a new seasonal beer today, but also a new brewery to the show. Abita Brewing was founded in 1986 and is located just outside of New Orleans. The beers they produce cover the range of styles you’d expect, but what caught our eye in looking for some new seasonal…
New Belgium Brewing brings us not only a seasonal beer today, but possibly a nod to a great movie starring Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin. Their Red Hoptober (I guess if they had said The Hunt For that would have been a little obvious) seems to have replaced the just Hoptober from last year.…

We are not above admitting a mistake if one has been made. You never know when you first try a beverage if there was something wrong with either the drink itself or maybe the circumstances under which it was had. Whatever the case, it is always good to go back and try things…
With gluten-free beer options on the rise we decided to look to one of our favorite breweries and see what they could come up with. The Tweason’ale from Dogfish Head is a mixture of sorghum, strawberries, and buckwheat honey. Sold seasonally four times a year and coming in at 6% ABV, this beer…
