Beer of the Week

For the week of January 6th, 2014, my "Beer of the Week" is La Fin Du Monde from Unibroue.

Every week, Half Time on Route 9 in Poughkeepsie offers Boris' tap selection of the week for a half-priced growler fill.  This week it's the Bronx Rye Pale Ale. Malted and flaked rye make up nearly a quarter of the grain bill for this Rye Pale Ale, offering it a unique and intense spicy rye flavor and golden-orange hue...
