Seems fitting that our last post of 2025 is as beautiful (and limited) of a beer we can make
• Confessions - Russian Imperial Stout
We are down to the last few cans + keg of this one.

Always interesting to see what comes up multiple times in this piece, interviewing 20+ people in the beer industry. For 2025, Sapwood's Albura Dark Mexican-style lager gets a lot of mentions, as does Eebee's Corner Bar.
