What We’ve Been Drinking Lately (Patchogue, NY) – We’d like to thank all the breweries who ship us beer from time to time. It’s always great to sample the brews that we write about and helps to give us a better feel for what’s happening out there. And last night we opened something festive from Blue Point Brewing that’s only available at their taproom. Blue Point’s Barrel-Aged Jingle Mingle is a special version of their legendary Imperial Stout with cherries, that’s been aged in aged in Bourbon barrels for almost 12 months. And needless to say, it was perfect for the holidays.
