Mikkeller julepakkekalender

To ease the way into the depths of December, I ordered Mikkeller’s 24-entry Julepakkekalender, which provides a beer a day.

The kalender itself is an unassuming cardboardbox, with the individual bottles separated by dividers and protected by styrofoamy bits.

The first two entries were a can and a bottle, and they were of wildly differing genres, so I have high hopes for a crafty adventure that takes us the first weeks of the month.

Best beers of November 2015

Founders Porter

I’ve been a big fan of Founders Brewing for quite a while, and their take on porter was the best beer of November. In addition to the usual roastiness, this beer features an optimal kind of chocolate in taste – prevasive, but without the common cloying sweetness.

On the domestic side, the beer of the month-honors fall on a good beer with a silly name. Stallhagen has been quite uneven, but their Brwedolf is a hoppy lager that seems eminently suited for the fish table of the impending Christmas dinner.
