YumSugar Gift Guide: The Craft Brew Connoisseur
One of my closest friends is an absolute beer fiend. From the moment he took a beer-tasting class in college on a whim, he's been hooked on microbrews.

Like Cold Coffee? Try Cold Brewed Coffee
You guys seemed pretty excited when I shared a simple tip to keep your iced coffee from getting watered down.

Happy Hour: Red Tail Ale
On my routine shopping trip last weekend, I found myself talking to the beer and wine guys at the local Trader Joe's.

Happy Hour: BarbaRoja Barrel-Aged Red Ale
While Argentina's not exactly a place known for its beer, it should be known for one beer in particular, the superbly smooth, easy drinking BarbaRoja barrel-aged red ale. Although this beer comes in a Champagne-like bottle with a cartoon pirate label, it's not feminine or cheap-tasting. Rather it's a rich, frothy ale with light body and malty, slight caramel flavor.
Happy Hour: Smithwick's Irish Ale
Recently, my parents returned from a vacation in Ireland.
Being as it was their first time in on the island, they eagerly sampled the local products, pubs, and pints. They picked up a fondness for a chocolate-colored, Irish ale named Smithwick’s (pronounced Smitiks).
