Spotted Cow is piss. Mind you, if drinking that swill ensures MU goes without a loss this season, I'd drink it till I puked every game day!Anyone have any good suggestions for holiday brews? I don't care for beers with a lot of hop flavor, I prefer the spicy/chocolate/carmel of porters/reds/etc. Fruit beers/lambics aren't horrible either. I love Fruili, although it's $6 for a 7oz bottle, and not available in draught here any more.
Get it while you can! Goose Island Bourbon County stout has been hitting the shelves in the last few days.Discount Liquor says they got 2 cases and is selling by the bottle - limit 1 per person. Consumer Beverage also had 2 cases but my brother & I got the last 2 four packs.

So this weekend, I'm drinking Two Hearted Ale and Left Hand Milk Stout. My wife, an MU grad also who could drink her share back in the day, asks me, where's the good light beer? Other than the obvious (there is no good light beer) what is a good light beer that she can drink when I'm drinking good stuff? oh, and she could drink whole if she wanted to...
I hope this pic works. Some beers I just received from a VERY generous MU grad out on the west coast.
working on a 6-er of Atwater Brewery Vanilla Java Porter. I like it. A little lighter/thinner than I expected from a coffee porter, and its still got a real sweetness to it. Probably doesn't stand up to other really thick type porters, and I would compare it more to a Leine's Fireside Nut than a real smoky porter. I don't hate it, but don't expect to drink more than one or two.
Light on flavor or light on calories?
Light on calories. I know Guinness is fairly light but my wife won't drink it. What else is there that's good flavor, with not a lot of calories?
Goose Island 312 is only 135 calories. I took that from this article: http://thebeersessions.com/recommendations/a-lighter-option-five-great-tasting-low-calorie-beers/
Thanks for the article. I like 312, just didn't know it was relatively low in calories. I'll have to hunt down the Anchor Summer beer.
