Long sleeves = Stout drinks

With the much appreciated changing of the seasons here in the desert,
many trends reemerge, my most favorite of which is showing up to my
favorite watering holes a little chilled and warming up to a frothy
Stout. Tonight's is no exception to greatness, Four Peaks Oatmeal
Stout, with its very subtle hints of oatmeal, it washes over the
pallet like a warm fuzzy blanket and finishes very light and airy.

For those of you out there with first time quarries and misplace views
on Guinness, I'm here to assure you that dispite how heavy many Stouts
appear in the glass, the fact is that they are a very smooth varietal
of beer. As for the myth that this beer has a high alcohol content and
high calories, the truth is that most Stouts float around the 5% ABV
mark and Guinness has only 100ish calories per pint.

So the next time you get a chance, warm up with a frothy Stout and a
bowl of clam chowda to compliment.

Cheers!

Travis
