The Taproom (aka Anything and Everything Beer)

The best beer store in the state (probably) always does a mystery grab bag thing where 100% of proceeds goes to food pantries

You can only get Hill Farmstead cans at the brewery 2 hours away so these are a treat. Also received 2 German Pilsner, and an APA. The other bag had some decent local breweries more unique stuff plus some stickers and coasters!

That’s amazing! And none of your more obvious ones as well. I don’t recognize any of them. May I ask where she got them from?

It's from Costco. They do a beer (or wine) advent calendar around the holidays. We arent religious by any means, but 24 imported German pints is totally worth it.

Just had another Dunkel with dinner and now having a Pilsner.

I will say, the package leans more towards light beers (pils, wiesse, etc. ~5.5% ABV or less). Only a few bocks and dunkels, an imperial pils (6.5%), and one IPA. While all have been delicious thus far, I much prefer dark beer (stouts, barleywine), IPAs (especially imperials), and barrel beers (bourbon or rye).
