The 8 Beers of Chanukah 2015- Night 7: Rogue Sriracha Hot Stout I love Sriracha even more than I love other people cooking potato latkes for me. I have a bottle of it in the fridge at work with a passive aggressive note taped to it, since I put it on almost everything.

The 8 Beers of Chanukah 2015 – Night 3: Sultana Gold Blonde Ale by Lake of the Woods I wonder what craft beer my Zaida would have consumed if he were still alive. I don’t really remember him drinking very much of anything, but when he did have a beer, it was always a golden ale. He definitely never made it to Kenora, ON, where Lake of the Woods Brewing Company brew their Sultana… Read More
