REVIEW: Great Crescent Bourbon Barrel Stout


So it's been months since I've taken a look at a stout. Mostly because of the weather. As much as I enjoy a big malty, roasty, dark beer, it just doesn't sound super appetizing when it's 95 degrees outside. But there are times when my desire for a stout outweighs the influence of the weather. This is one of those times. Also this particular stout is aged in old bourbon barrels. There's a Ron Swanson bacon wrapped shrimp joke somewhere in there but I can't quite put my finger on it. So anyways, it's been a very long time since I've looked at a stout and what better way to get back on the horse than with one aged in Maker's Mark barrels? To the beer!

REVIEW: Great Crescent Coconut Porter


I'm keeping the local beer coming. This one isn't a Cincinnati beer, but it is from just down the road in Aurora Indiana. They're fairly new and I've been hearing about them for the last few months. I was at The Party Source recently and saw a bunch of their 4 packs. Naturally I had to go for the coconut porter. Intriguing right? To the beer!
