    RoughDraughtBeer Beer review: Epic Brewing Double Skull Doppelbock
    Epic Brewing Double Skull Doppelbock - Rough Draught
    Epic Brewing Double Skull Doppelbock - Rough Draught
    Epic Brewing Double Skull Doppelbock is part of Epic's Exponential Series. True to style, it has a big, complex flavor that nicely masks the high alcohol.

    RoughDraughtBeer I've never been disappointed by a Southern Tier Beer. That hasn't changed...

    RoughDraughtBeer My brother was nice enough to share a bottle of Dogfish Head 75 Minute IPA with me!
    Dogfish Head 75 Minute IPA - Rough Draught
    Dogfish Head 75 Minute IPA - Rough Draught
    Dogfish Head 75 Minute IPA is much more than just a mid-way point between the popular 60 and the 90 Minute IPAs. This is a very unique and delicious beer.

    RoughDraughtBeer Elevator Brewery is a local brewer in Downtown Columbus, OH. They just release this year's batch of Horny Goat, a porter aged in Whiskey barrels, a couple days ago. I just had my first go-around with it, and it's pretty solid.
