Episode 629 - On The Dark Side

Being stuck in the winter that will never end isn't so bad when you've got some dark and roasty beers, so for this show we get five different dark styles from some of our local favorites to warm us up. This set of nourishing beers has us wishing for a hot pokin' while considering our blanket fort construction tactics. Also, we try to decide on two arcade cabinets for our own imaginary pizza joints; Ryan's not afraid to throw some things during playground basketball; and Craig imagines a glass girthier than has ever been. Beers Reviewed Brother Chimp Brewing - Novia (Schwarzbier) Goldfinger Brewing Company - Chela Negra (Dark Mexican Lager) Flipside Brewing - Blanket Fort (Oatmeal Stout) Dovetail Brewery - Czech-Style Dark Lager Blind Corner Brewery - Boreal Dawn (Black IPA)
