REVIEW: Founders Curmudgeon

I'm taking a little break from the spring seasonals and lighter fare to take a look at a Founders Curmudgeon. A 9.8% ABV, 50 IBU old ale brewed with molasses and oak aged.Founders is one of my favorite breweries and I'm quite sorry to admit that it's been over six months since I've enjoyed one of their beers here on the blog (that was the delightful Breakfast Stout for those of you keeping score at home). I don't believe I've tried Curmudgeon before so I'm excited to get into it. To the beer!

REVIEW: Great Divide Hibernation Ale

I'm keeping the Christmas ales coming. Today's is Hibernation from Great Divide, one of my all time favorite breweries. Hibernation is an English style old ale which is a historic English beer style. Old Ales are typically dark, very malty, and fairly high in alcohol. Which makes them perfectly suited for drinking during the cold winter months. Hibernation is dry hopped, which ought to add an interesting dimension to this beer that's not often found in the style. To the beer!
