		<description><![CDATA[Stopped by Mr. Beery&#8217;s yesterday to watch some NFL football, and asked Stew about a new wheat wine from Brooklyn Brewery that was on tap. For those of you unfamiliar with the wheat wine style of beer, it&#8217;s similar to a barley wine save for a large portion of malted wheat. Considering that I&#8217;m a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in the Middle Ages, peppercorns were used as a form of currency to pay everything from bribes to the monthly rent. And there&#8217;s an Abbey ale, which I scored in a recent beer trade, that&#8217;s worth its weight in peppercorns. Brewer&#8217;s Art Green Peppercorn Tripel (The Brewer&#8217;s Art; Baltimore, MD; Tripel; ABV: 9.2) is [...]]]></description>
