Official "What Beer Do You Have Lined-up For Thanksgiving?" Thread

I'm sure you're not the only one. I've already given it some thought. Probably going to grab some SN Celebration for the day and a bomber of an impy stout for after dinner, maybe GD oak aged Espresso or Chocolate Yeti. Still have a few bottles of FBS sitting in the fridge too that I've been holding onto for the holidays. Will probably do my shopping a week or so before to avoid the pandemonium at the store. I made the mistake last year of shopping the day before, big mistake.

 

I'm getting it as soon as it hits shelves around here lol, not gunna wait around til Christmas or New Year's.

 

I will be working my ninth straight Thanksgiving and I usually don't get home until 8pm or so that night, so I'll just be coming home and looking for something voluminous and high ABV. I'll probably put my Uinta Oak-Jacked Pumpkin in the fridge to have at the ready.

 

Brown Shugga and Rumpkin will definitley in my plans.

 

I'm planning an imperial pumpkin, possibly the crooked lines Oak Jack Imperial Pumpkin, and definitely The Bruery's Autumn Maple. I'm thinking about some SN Celebration ale as well.

 

Many rare beers ... thanks for the reminder. I need to do inventory soon. Will report back.

No Saisons ... ;-)

 

Brown Shugga for watching football. Autumn Maple for dinner time. Hopefully a Backwoods Bastard to end the night. Those plus the usual food coma should keep me sleeping right through the shopping madness of the next day.

 

Homebrewed Belgian Style Tripel, bottle conditioned.12 lbs Pilsner,Many Noble Hops and 3lbs Belgian Candi Sugar, Also A homebrewed beer with 5lbs of Pilsen Grain with half ounce of homegrown Columbus Hops in the keg. small 2.5 gallon keg.

 

Here's on my agenda:

Warm up with some Weihenstephaner Kristall and Hefe
A vertical of Dissident (08, 10, 12)
Finish the night with Melange No. 3

 

New Glarus Raspberry Tart / Belgian Red / Serendipity will be shared with the extended family.

Darkness 2012 will be opened after dinner with family / cigar.

2 variations on a "scotch / scottish" (homebrew SMASH competition with 2row and cluster hops) on tap as well as a sorachi ace dry hopped flanders amber for casual consumption during the day as well as a variety of New Glarus / Half Acre / Three Floyds in the fridge.

We host Thanksgiving dinner, one holiday of the year where the family gets to drink good beer or enjoy wine / liquor.

Cheers!

 

For dinner
Start with autumn maple
With the mains noble rot, for the white wine aspect of it
For dessert ccb ba sweet stout, 2010 oak aged yeti

For the rest of the weekend, I usually get 6 or 7 one gallon growlers from ccb

 

I think I am going to get a good brown Ale to enjoy because that's about the only type of beer I like when I am eating.

 

I'll probably be working Thanksgiving night (I work overnights) but come that Saturday I'll be unleashing some of the Texas big guns. Yeehaw! Still got at least 8 bottles of Fat Jack that I'm saving for that weekend.

 

Southern Tier Pumking and Great Lakes Christmas Ale is usually the way I like it on Thanksgiving..

 

autumn maple for sure...then whatever pumpkin beers i still have floating around

 

Beer Geek Brunch Weasel for sure.
I have a Lawson Maple Stout en route but I don't know which one.

 

I usually have three Rochefort 10s throughout the day.
