Day 30: Skookum Brewery’s Murder of Crows

For the FINAL day of 30 Beers in 30 Days and we are staying close to home again and trying Skookum Brewery out of Arlington Washington. I’ve tried many of their IPAs which we have actually had on tap at the store but I have never had any of their darker brews. So lets give…

Day 23: Great Divide Brewing Co. Yeti Imperial Stout

For day 23’s stout pick we are headed East once again. To Colorado, to try one of the most decorated American craft breweries. Great Divide Brewing Co. has been making beer since 1994.

Day 9: Stone Xocoveza: A Winter Spiced Mocha Stout

Pitch black and Syrupy. -Nose: You get the whiskey for sure, but not necessarily the sweetness that you might get with bourbon barrel aging….
