Alright campers, time to end our Summer Vacation beer specials with a trip to beer camp. In previous years Beer Camp was an interesting idea where a bunch of breweries collaborated to make a 12 pack of unique beers. This time the field has expanded to include 30+ breweries but for only 6 beers! A fact that may actually come back to haunt this sampler like the ghost stories of our youth.
Gift of the Magi Ale: 5.5 – (We normally do a post Wed/Thurs, but we lift this a bit later for Christmas theme) Anyway we come to the Gift of the Magi, and while I have no idea what Frankincense and Myrrh taste like, I suppose the dark and sweet fruit is meant to represent that somehow. Either way while this is a nice beer, I’m just not sold on the taste.
Google Shop Average: Gift of the Magi Ale $10

Lost Abbey Devotion Ale: 6.0 – It’s hoppy but it’s not a sharp hoppy taste, and I quite like it. Compared to what I see other beers of theirs going for, this is well worth it.
Google Shop Average: Lost Abbey Devotion Ale $9
