Boonville, CA
Style: 
Amber/Red Ale

Anderson Valley Brewing Company is one of my favorite small California microbreweries - their beers are consistently outstanding across the board. Finding a fresh six-pack on the East Coast is always a treat. With that, I couldn't pass up a chance to try their Winter Solstice Seasonal Ale.

Style: 
Imperial / Double India Pale Ale

When I see an Imperial IPA on the shelves of a package store, its as if the store owner has already put it in my shopping cart. The purchase is a done deal, I just can't resist and Harpoon's Imperial IPA - with its Halloween-esque label - was no different.

Talk about packaging. Guldenberg comes first wrapped in paper, then a bottlecap hides a cork that needs removed with a corkscrew. If only the corkscrew had come out with that pleasing effervescent pop. (There was plenty of fizz nonetheless.) Ah - ignore that. Let's get to the beer.

Dogfish Head Raison D'Etre

Milton, DE
Style: 
Abbey Ale

Dogfish Head is quickly becoming one of my favorite breweries. Luckily, we keep a stock of beers in the fridge at work for Friday afternoons and this afternoon a six-pack of Dogfish Head Raison D'Etre was in there. The color on this beer is pretty awesome - a deep mahogony / copper color, its neither orange or red. A strong beer, its chock full of belgian malts and looks great. The aroma is sweet and estery, with a touch of candy and raison - its brewed with green raisons, afterall.
