It is a horn-a-plenty at Alaro Craft Brewery on Capitol Avenue in Sacramento.
Family, health, friendship, and these four stouts we are thankful for this Thanksgiving. So hug the ones you love and toast the ones you miss.

Perhaps the best oatmeal stout ever, a wild ride with some mint chocolate chip, and our first interview with a female brewer; just some of the goodness in this episode of the Stoutcast.

Episode 11: Mariposa Should Be Spanish For Russian Imperial Stout
Merced is Spanish for mercy. Mariposa is Spanish for butterfly, which is why our hosts had to suffer the indignity of playing sports growing up under the incredibly intimidating team name, “The Monarchs.” Ooooh. Monarchs. Scary. Photo by Bob Moffitt
Episode 10: Mother's Milk Stouts In The Mother Lode
Bob and his artiste brother-in-law Robert try out a 4-pack of milk stouts from Firestone, Electric, Belching Beaver and Left Hand before they finish off the day with a coffee offering from their host, 1850 Brewing Company in Bob's hometown and Robert's adopted hometown, Mariposa, California...it's halfway between Hornitos and Bootjack.
Episode 9: Rogues In Portlandia
Glenn looks surprised as Bob gives him the evil eye as they work on new material should the creators of Portlandia decide to return for another season....oh and they differ somewhat dramatically on their opinions of the beers presented before them by the fine folks at Rogue Hall.

Episode 8: Judge The CA State Fair Judges
