This week’s Ultimate 6er is a little different. Over the weekend my friend Christine was in Cleveland for a wedding, and she sent me the above photo of the most amazing looking doughnuts I’ve ever seen. The best part? They’re made with beer! While I wasn’t able to taste them myself, Brewnuts was ranked one of the ten best donut shops in the United States by USA TODAY, and Christine was savvy enough to send me a copy of Saturday’s menu, so the descriptions below are straight from the horse’s mouth.

On top is a generous sprinkle of flake coconut.
