Thelonious Monk is more then just a Jazz icon, he’s also the inspiration to North Coast Brewing’s Brother Thelonious Belgian style abby strong ale . As we continue the holiday theme, this is a classic example of choosing beer instead of wine to go with your holiday fare!

Garrett Oliver’s Brooklyn Brewery just may have created one of the finest Belgian style beers this country has ever tasted! 100% bottle re-fermented, Brooklyn Local 1  has a fine champagne finish, and of course, goes with a wide variety of food, which is perfect for the holiday season and beyond!

Beer America TV sits down with Garrett Oliver of the Brooklyn Brewery to talk about beer, film, music and more!

Brooklyn Brewery checks in with their version of Pumpkin Ale for our final taste of these fruity beers in 2008 . Post Road Pumpkin Ale is extremely well balanced, and if you’ve never tried a pumpkin beer, this might be a good one to start with!

Dogfish Head does everything with extreme taste and imagination, and their Punkin Ale is no different . If you like Pumpkin beer, this Punkin is worth trying!
