Martin House – Orange Cinnamon Roll

Today Arfred is serving Martin House Brewing – Orange Cinnamon Roll, a 5.2% sour with orange, cinnamon, and lactose. I actually liked this one a lot more than I expected to. Hell, I even went back to get more, which…

Martin House Brewing – The Statement of Purpose

Today Arfred is serving Martin House – The Statement of Purpose, a 8% peanut butter golden stout. Never did grad school, so I never had to write a statement of purpose, but the thought of it terrifies me. Imagine if…
