I’ve been terribly remiss in posting this (it’s been a long week or two): Three Creeks Brewing over in Sisters (here in Central Oregon) is holding their Rudolph’s Imperial Red vertical tasting tomorrow, Friday the 14th, at the brewery starting at 6pm. They have four year’s worth of Rudolph’s to … Continue reading
It must be Deschutes Brewery week at my house, because in addition to the bottle of Hop Henge I received the other day, yesterday I also received a trio of their Red Chair NWPA (Northwest Pale Ale), another January-release beer (so officially a 2013 beer). I know I always receive … Continue reading

And I didn’t select this beer just because of the Vertical … Continue reading

Earlier this year I was chatting with Deschutes Brewery‘s Gary Fish about various beery things, and he had mentioned the “Class of ’88” concept—those breweries along with Deschutes that started in 1988—and how they should all get together to commemorate 25 years of brewing in 2013.

One of the goals of this Beer Advent Calendar is to offer up a variety of holiday beers from around the globe, and Japan is one of the countries that has been fairly under-represented in this regard, partially because Christmas in Japan is fairly different than here in the Western … Continue reading
