What’s on tap for New Year’s Eve? Good beer, of course. And what goes best with good beer? Good food! So for this New Year’s Eve we whipped up some homemade crab cakes with creamy roasted red pepper sauce and followed that up by breaking out some new homebrew (shown here in the one liter bottle). It’s a medium bodied coffee stout with a subtle coffee flavor, coffee aroma and light enough to serve as a session beer.  Which isn’t what I was going for (I was shooting for more body), but it is still a very drinkable brew.  I enjoy home brewing, but it always gives me that much more appreciation for what the pros do.

Happy New Year!
