Buffalo Bill's Blueberry Stout


Surprising tasty and well-made blueberry stout..My wife loves blueberries and sugested this when we were at the Foodery, where I picked up a bottle. Looks like a novelty product - but don't believe the hype, the blueberries are actually a perfect compliment to outmeal stouts....

Real Ale Invitational

Had a great time at the real ale invite at Yards. Never had a bad time at Yards, that's for sure.
