A heavy cold rain has made today miserable and is more reminiscent of March than May. I went shopping with Audrey to Costco and Jetro earlier today. An afternoon ale sipping always makes me forget about the elements. Onwards to the refrigerator. POUR and BEGIN:

Middlebury, Vt. Cost-$1.16 per 12 ozs. Style-Winter Ale w/fruit Ingredients-Raspberry w/crystal and chocolate malt; light hops Aftertaste-Remember it !!! Rating-7.5
