Sapwood Cellars - Molé’d d’Almendrado

Imperial Stout with Dried Chile Peppers, Amburana Wood, Cacao Nibs, Vanilla Beans and Almonds added

Nice way to start the new year! Spicy with a little sweetness from the vanilla and cacao.

IT'S A WONDERFUL ESSAY: The last few days before Christmas is when people usually tend to rewatch 'It's a Wonderful Life.' Can I commend to you this really superb essay we published a few years ago? It could change the way you understand that movie.

There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its true—and profound—meaning.

Super excited about this! I’ve already placed my pre-order.
Today we are *super* excited to announce The Pains of Being Pure At Heart's "Perfect Right Now: A Slumberland Collection 2008-2010"! It compiles scarce b-sides, split single sides, and misc single and EP songs to round out the story of The Pains early years.

Back doing a double red donation. Turns out, I’m a “Hero for Babies” because I’ve never been exposed to Cytomegalovirus, a flu-like virus that most adults are exposed to at some point. CMV is generally harmless to adults, but can be fatal to babies.
