I'm interested to hear how everyone is planning to spend their Super Bowl Holiday. I'm going to spend it with my family and some close friends. Nothing special. Just good company, good beverages, good food, and hopefully a good game. I'm contributing my "Best Extra Stout", my "Kitchen Sink IPA" and some Coopers original series Lagers. I haven't planned a food menu yet but I think some Nachos and Buffalo wings will get it started.

With February just around the corner people are starting to think about Valentines Day.  But if you’re a beer enthusiast you can’t help but think of Stouts.

February might as well be renamed Stoutuary.
