Should your travels take you to Oregon in 2010, plz be sure to visit the brewery in Newport nestled along scenic Highway 101 and sample Rogue’s Chocolate Stout at the source. In the mean time, check my blog for pairing notes, recipes, and other notions about this beer ! http://www.RogueChocolateStout.com

Both houses were serving it like it was going out of fashion it was that popular and both served it in stunning form. Woke up with a clear head due to it being a sensible ABV.

Pure heaven…

I love Hophead and their now-regular APA. The Harp keeps a smashing pint of both…

funily enough, I am wearing a DarkStar Hophead tour t-shirt from a few years back right now! lol.

I’m sure it will turn up at Cask in Pimlico at some point — they always seem to have one or two Dark Star beers on.
