avb62009beer Do you like your IPAs stinky and skunky? I sure do. In my latest Beer of the Week column, I pen tale of Ska Brewing's Modus Hoperandi, a beer that's seemingly as potent as everyone's favorite little green herb. Curious? Drink it up!

Every week, our daughter comes home with a new mask that would do well in a reboot of an ‘80s slasher flick. (That’s a unicorn on the right, FYI.) Anyhoo! In between arts and crafts, I drank a little @finbackbrewery Cats and Dogs double IPA done up with guava and raspberries. Fruity! Finely bitter! And other descriptors I can’t think of while staring at that Terror-Corn mask.

Current status. Because: phew. I just finished leading a beer-cheese pairing for the @frenchcheeseboard, which meant saying many words and eating many, many cheeses. And now I could use a beer and a bad, bad movie.

I’m a sucker for a good can label, and this @kcbcbeer / @brooklynbrewery collaboration is one of the best I’ve seen lately. It ticks all the boxes: hops, pinball, the threat of carnivorous pandas and, oh yeah, a pretty delicious, coffee ‘n chocolaty Baltic porter fit for these cool fall nights. Beware the 🐼.
