The Beer Blog: DuClaw “Sweet Baby Jesus” Chocolate-Peanut Butter Porter



No, it’s no joke – that’s the actual name of this week’s beer.  The Four State Food Critic is usually not drawn to peculiar names or advertising gimmicks, but friends have been telling me about this beer for a while now, so when I saw it on the shelf, I had to try some.

Sweet Baby Jesus (which I’ll call “SBJ” because I’m tired of typing it out) is produced by Baltimore’s DuClaw Brewery.  This is a smooth porter with a nice chocolate/coffee front end and a slightly bitter finish.  It’s got a beautiful brown color and trust me, once anyone sees you with the bottle in your hand, everyone wants to taste it.  This (like many other craft beers) is a sipping beer, not a brew that you pound in the parking lot out of the back of a truck.

SBJ can be found at liquor stores with a deep beer selection.  If you don’t see it, look for any DuClaw products and then ask for it by name.  Believe me, they’ll know what you’re talking about. The average cost of a six-pack is around $10 (for bottles).

DuClaw Brewery offers several staple brands and multiple seasonal brews.  Check them out at www.duclaw.com.
