February 2014 Rockit Cup: Robust Porter

Once again, the Rockit Cup is here to save you from your brewing doldrums. So stop being scared of the Rockit Cup and start brewing the Rockit Cup. Or you can just go on being the guy who brings professionally made beer to a home brew club meeting. Don’t worry, I promise not to make fun of you. To your face. Much. Alright, I’m sorry. I lied. I most likely will make fun of you. But that’s what you get for not brewing! Go Rockit Cup!
