Whats in the fridge

Rogue and Caledonian

I picked up a six pack of Rogue’s Santa’s Private Reserve from World Market in Dulles. I wasn’t sure what to expect but thought it might be a winter warmer type beer. Overall disappointed in the beer, it is drinkable but in my opinion is on the bland side.

On a recent visit to Whole Foods in Reston I discovered that they were stocking Caledonian’s Golden Promise Ale. This is a very smooth season ale that I could drink all night. If you are not a fan of fizzy beers then I recommend trying this one out.

Out of the two beers the hands down winner is Caledonian’s Golden Promise Ale.
