Andrew Z is drinking a Member's Society Nut Brown Ale by Gathering Place Brewing Company at Algoma Beach Motel

Door County Century Recovery Beer. Catching up on my backlog of member bets. Definitely better than the average rating.

Michael Swanson is drinking an Extra Juicy by Loon Juice at Algoma Beach Motel

Yup, it’s got more of that apple juice flavor than most hard ciders.

Michael Swanson is drinking a GRINDCORE by Surly Brewing Company at Algoma Beach Motel

Appealing dark coffee stout, with a modicum of milk providing cream. Does indeed suggest espresso.

Michael Swanson is drinking a Point Special Lager by Stevens Point Brewery at Algoma Beach Motel

This grand old Wisconsin lager deserves a better score than it’s gotten. Lightly flavorful with malts, it’s especially good when chilled by today’s more bitter windchill off the lake.

Michael Swanson is drinking a Lord James by Whole Hog Brewery at Algoma Beach Motel

While this wee heavy isn’t light, with caramel malts and booze, it is relatively light for the style.

Michael Swanson is drinking a Glasgow Kiss by Starry Eyed Brewing Company at Algoma Beach Motel

Strong Scotch ale, boozy and malty with a great bitter toffee spine. Love the stubby bottle.

Michael Swanson is drinking a 2XMAS by Southern Tier Brewing Company at Algoma Beach Motel

This year’s 2XMAS seems a bit more generic — and more hoppy, I think — than previous editions. Since our champagne bottle was not openable, this was our NYE toast.

Michael Swanson is drinking a Val-Dieu Bière de Noël by Brasserie de l'Abbaye du Val-Dieu at Algoma Beach Motel

Clean and crisp Belgian ale, with a light winter spicing amidst the fruity base. As it warms (this one was chilled by the winds off Lake Michigan), it grows in wintry bitterness.

Michael Swanson is drinking a Double Shot Double Black (2021) by Bent Paddle Brewing Co. at Algoma Beach Motel

Strong dark coffee, strong vanilla (still 2nd to that Kentucky Cream Ale), in a texture that’s leaning toward milkshake. Dessert beer, but a dessert that knows how a bitter coffee can make the vanilla that much more sweet and mellow.

Michael Swanson is drinking an Apricot Crush by 10 Barrel Brewing Co. at Algoma Beach Motel

Beautiful cold morning on Lake Michigan on the last day of the year. Seems appropriate for a sour with the company slogan of “Drink Beer Outside”. Sour apricot provides a bit of a late wake-up.
