It’s US thanksgiving, so let’s talk turkey. It’s football day in America and I’m game. And of course, Black Friday. So named because that is the day your bank account goes from black to red, signifying that Christmas is just around the corner. Sounds like it’s stout...

This review is a big ol’ chocolate milk stout shout out and a tip of the tankard to MT and the good folks at Mine Connect for the donation of this fine stein to the cranky old cause. The miners tell us that 18 elements from the periodic table go into the brewing of...
