Beer Olympics – Day 11

Beer Olympics – Day Six

By beerisyourfriend on July 31, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

Country: Italy Beer: Brewfist Fear milk chocolate stout Expectation can be an irritating thing. Take this beer from Italy’s Brewfist. I’d previously tried their Space Man IPA and was very impressed. I’d […]
