| War Hammer Coffee, Milk Porter Valkyrie Brewing Co. Dallas, WI I enjoyed this on 12/13/14 at Jared's house. I gave it a Yes Yes rating. War Hammer is a malt beverage brewed with oatmeal and natural flavors. The label instructs: Unpasteurized. Keep Cool! (I wonder how long this bottle of beer sat on the store shelf before I bought it and refrigerated it? Just saying). |

| Headwater Pale Ale Victory Brewing Co. Downingtown, PA I sipped this brew on 12/13/14 and said "Yes Yes." The brewmasters, Bill and Ron, state: "Malted barley hops and yeast are the building blocks of beer. But none of these elements would exist without water, the essence of life. The waters that feed our brewery begin just over a dozen miles away, making for spectacularly pure and vital water for brewing. Having worked with watershed advocacy groups since our inception, we value our headwaters, our source in many ways. We think you'll value them as well when you taste this firmly crisp and aromatically arousing pale. Cheers." Bill and Ron go on to tell us: "Victory Brewing Company's commitment to environmental stewardship runs deep, and our devotion to our local watershed remains the source of our inspiration. Vital streams like our East Branch of the Brandywine face an uncertain future without the care and action of folks like ourselves. 'Ourselves' includes you. Please follow the below link to understand what your support of this delicious ale is contributing to the cause." www.victorybeer.com/headwaters |

| Chocolate Bunny Stout (Brewed with Cocoa Powder) Rhinelander Brewing Co. LLC Monroe, WI I gave Chocolate Bunny a Yes Yes nod on 12/14/14. This beer is 5.5% alc./vol. with 66 I.B.U. I got a kick out of these words on the label: "Dark and silky rich stout loaded with chocolate flavor. Is there chocolate in my beer or beer in my chocolate?" |

 |
| Lust Weissbier Bavarian-Style Wheat Ale Saint Francis Brewing Co. St. Francis, WI I relaxed with Lust on 12/15/14. I rated it Yes Yes. The label drawing is of Eve holding an apple out to Adam as the serpent looks on. That event in history was a true example of lust. |
 |
| (St. Thomas) Belgian Abbey Belgian Style Dark Ale Limited Release Potosi Brewing Co. Potosi, WI 7.5% ALC/VOL I relaxed with this beer on 12/15/14 with dinner at The Thirsty Badger with Lon and Jared.

O.G. 1.081 Alc. 8.5% by Vol. Label findings: "These words are the voice of the beer you are about to drink; they are an attempt to be understood. The beer beneath is more than just words.

| Dragon Blade American Retro Lager Valkyrie Brewing Co. Dallas, WI I tipped a glass of Dragon Blade on 12/17/14 and shouted "Yes Yes" upon my final sip. I see this beer is "Unpasteurized. Keep Cool!" It's quite interesting to find that many of the beers have quite unusual names, from light-hearted to dark and sinister. |
 |
| Sloth Brown Ale Saint Francis Brewing Co. St. Francis, WI I contemplated and sipped Sloth on 12/17/14 and hollered, "Yes Yes." The drawing on the label pictures an unshaven man, sitting down and leaning against a building with his head resting on his chest. He's definitely not accomplishing a thing. Just so you know, I don't approve of sloth, but I drank Sloth Brown Ale without hesitation. |
 |
| Amber Lager Wisconsin Brewing Co. Verona, WI I eased into evening on 12/18/14 with Amber Lager. It evoked a Yes Yes rating as most every beer does these days. This beer contains alc. 5.5% by vol. The label was quiet. I found nothing else to tell you. |
 |
| Gandy Dancer Porter Potosi Brewing Co. Potosi, WI 6.0% ALC/VOL Today, 12/19/14, I welcomed the weekend with Gandy Dancer and nodded Yes Yes upon my last sip.
