Iron Hill Pig Iron Porter ... The other evening as we were leaving the crowded dinnertime bar area, a couple pounced on our soon to be empty table, and notice we had a growler. "Is that Pig Iron Porter?!?!?" Yes, it was. It's what they were drinking and said was their favorite. One of ours, too.
Artisan (Basil T's Toms River) Oktoberfest ... A hearty fest beer, alas it comes only once a year.
Hoffmann Lager Beer Oktoberfest ... Dave Hoffmann is German by heritage and his topnotch fest beer is a source of pride.
Jim Koch of Boston Beer Company says you should take pride in your beer. That also goes for the state where your beer is made Jersey fresh. So click on the link below.
I'm a freelance editor, writer, video producer, photographer, graphic artist and, obviously, a beer fan (homebrewer, too) ... I've even lent a hand at a commercial brewery in NJ (where else?!!??) and created some ads for a brewery that were published in Ale Street News and All About Beer.
My first taste of beer was a few sips of Falstaff at age 5 in 1965 (yes, I was drinking underage – in a simpler period of time, too). I continued to develop a taste for beer, but alas, poor Yorick, I left Shakespeare (and Falstaff) behind (but I did write about beer for my college composition 101 class, got an A on it, too).

Nice! I can't wait to try the Oyster Stout as well. If they keep it up, you'll be able to create an entire calendar!
