406. Green Flash Brewing – Double Stout Black Ale
As you can see by my last few posts, my friend Joe and I have been out in St. Louis, hitting Perennial Artisan Ales earlier this evening. After enjoying their Vermilion and Abraxas, we headed back to Joe’s place, where he cracked open a Deschutes Black Butte Porter. It wasn’t quite time to call it a night, so Joe dug into his celler and pulled this one out. Location: Poured from the bottle into a pint glass, at my friend...
405. Deschutes – Black Butte Porter
After a very nice night out at Perennial Artisan Ales, where I had their Vermilion and Abraxas, we headed back to my friend Joe’s house. He dug into his beer stash and pulled this beer out.

Location: Poured from a 22oz bottle into a pint...

Location: Poured from a 750ml bottle into a goblet glass, at Perennial Artisan Ales in St. Louis, MO. Numbers: 10% ABV, ~...
403. Perennial Artisan Ales – Vermilion
As I mentioned, I’m in St. Louis for another mini-micro tour with my friend Joe (meaning we hit a bunch of St. Louis’ microbreweries over a weekend, which there have been several new ones in the last year or so. I got in late, but we had dinner and I had an Oatmeal Brown from 4 Hands. Now we’re on to Perennial Artisan Ales. I stopped here very briefly over the holidays and picked up a few beers to go, including...
402. 4 Hands Brewery – Cast Iron Oatmeal Brown
I’m in St. Louis this weekend to spend some time with my friend Joe. The plan is to hit several microbreweries this weekend, as well as trade some homebrew. I finally made it into town after a long day at work, and we headed out to Milagro Modern Mexican in Webster Groves. They had several craft beers on tap, and I was looking forward to trying something from one of St. Louis’ newest microbreweries – 4 Hands....
