It's the most wonderful time of the beer. Just the other day, I commented that MillerCoors' Blue Moon "doesn’t suck, but I don’t really care for it." So I was surprised to find myself buying a six-pack of their seasonal beer called Full Moon.]]> http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/full-moon-winter-ale/feed/ 2 http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/aventinus-dunkel-weizenbock/ http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/aventinus-dunkel-weizenbock/#comments Sun, 16 Nov 2008 03:30:35 +0000 Mark Stevens http://www.briansbelly.com/?p=283 Warning: getimagesize(/beerbelly/beerimages/aventinus_schneiderlogo.jpg) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/bach/public_html/wp-content/plugins/rss-image-feed/image-rss.php on line 185

A gathering of six the Belly Buddies for the Leonids meteor shower in November yielded the perfect opportunity to purchase a winter sampler pack to see for ourselves if such a specialty pack is tasteful enough to bring to the next holiday party you attend.]]> http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/michelob-winter-sampler-pack-six-geese-a-laying/feed/ 1 http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/samuel-adams-winter-classics/ http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/samuel-adams-winter-classics/#comments Sun, 16 Nov 2008 03:13:26 +0000 Ed McShea http://www.briansbelly.com/?p=276 Warning: getimagesize(/beerbelly/beerimages/sammyawinterclassics.jpg) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/bach/public_html/wp-content/plugins/rss-image-feed/image-rss.php on line 185

While hosting a recent holiday party, Belly Buddy Mark Higgins gave me a naked lady bottle opener. Not that my wife agrees, but I thought that was pretty special. And as if they were thinking ahead, Belly Buddy Dave Lauterbach brought a case of Sam Adams Winter Classics.]]> http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/samuel-adams-winter-classics/feed/ 1 http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/st-arnold-christmas-ale/ http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/st-arnold-christmas-ale/#comments Sun, 16 Nov 2008 02:48:55 +0000 Mark Stevens http://www.briansbelly.com/?p=274 Warning: getimagesize(/beerbelly/beerimages/starnoldchristmas_label.jpg) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/bach/public_html/wp-content/plugins/rss-image-feed/image-rss.php on line 185
