Portland to Portland

12:30 am, Portland, ME : Stepping onto my front step, I felt the sea air of my Portland – laden with warmth and moisture – greet me, and simultaneously bid me farewell. I walked the few steps to my car in silence, still a little in denial about the trip ahead. Do I have everything? Will my beer survive the journey?

Looking back, I’ve reviewed a lot of blueberry beers. I can’t help it – I love fresh blueberries and I happen to live in a state that has a lot of ‘em.

Hops + Chocolate? Yes.

Wow, the’re has been a lot of chatter on twitter and Google+ in the craft beer community today. But – I am not going to weigh in right now about a beer marketed specifically to women or people being specifically offended by a beer label. Nope. Today I’m going to talk about CHOCOLATE.
