Harrowing | Oatmeal Stout | BeerCo All Grain Brewers Recipe Kit BeerCo

Fark it’s Freezing outside right now. If only I had me a glass of hearty warm Oatmeal Stout, to sip and savour by the fireside on these cold winter nights to ward off these flus and colds and warm up me cockles. Stout, who doesn’t love the warming nature and velvet smooth taste of a great Oatmeal Stout. We know we do and we hope you do too, so we put together a nice little easy to brew old reliable like the Morris Minor Oatmeal Stout we call Harrowing because if its Harrowing and cold and biting you better be drinking one of these to keep the chills of Jack Frost and his nippy companions at bay. Cheers!
