Another visit home

Wait…I’ve been here before!

A new baby means a trip home and another round of reviews of El Paso and Las Cruces beer joints.  Just like last time, my options were limited in El Paso.  After an evening of volunteer work at the Opportunity Center making meatloaf, mashed potatoes and corn for some local homeless gents, my mom and I decided that a beer with the wife and kids seemed appropriate.  The Hoppy Monk is one of the only places on the westside with a decent selection, so we headed on over.

Christmas Yeti

‘Tis the season to raise a glass with friends and family, and to drink rich, roasty winter warmers. So, the other night we shared a bottle of Great Divide Brewing’s Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout that we have had aging in our beer cellar for just over a year.  Overall, this beer was enjoyed by all and met my expectations for sipping a stout on a cold winter’s day.
