Not a creature was stirring. . .

The regular readers of HomeBrewBlog.com (all two of you -- myself included) must be lamenting the dearth of new content on this much-heralded site, but alas -- wait no more! I've got a carboy full of Black Death Stout that I will be kegging in short order (should be ready for Christmas). Instead of trying something entirely new, I opted for the tried-and-true recipe and left the time I would normally use experimenting for holiday shopping.

While I was waiting for my home brew to mature, I found an interesting holiday beer in the corner store -- Lagunitas' Brown Shugga (200 pounds of brown sugar in each batch!), which is described on the Beer Advocate message boards as follows:

This is a motherfucker of a brew and must be tried to be believed.

Judget for yourself, but we're talking 9.9% ABV -- it's still sweet, but a lot of that brown sugar turned to alcohol, folks. (Recommended song while drinking: Sonic Youth's Sugar Kane). Posted by Chad Dickerson at December 14, 2004 09:45 PM
