    No posts in yesterday’s thread since before 1am, so let’s get a new day started.

    Apparently today is now known as “panic Saturday” because it’s the last one before Christmas. No panicking here.

    One of my favorite Christmas songs, even though every time I watch this video, I wonder how many drugs Bowie was on at the time.

    Happy Beer Drinking Saturday, advocates!

    Illinois defeats France this morning by a mile. A beer is due for me very soon. Cheers!

    Houblon Chouffe; along with Duvel Tripel Hop is one of the Belgian IPA of choice... Hopus is good too, but I haven’t had it in ages:

    [​IMG] So a little bit about myself. Every Christmas Eve my Mom’s side of the family has a party at my house. I cleaned up the keg lines and got two kegs for it. This is Moon Rover NEDIPA 8% with Galaxy enough said and the back up is The Agent NEIPA 7%. This batch of Rover is as juicy as it looks.

    Today is my first Christmas of the season, my parents got divorced 17 years ago or at least he was removed from the house for having a affair with woman 9 months younger than my oldest sister. He is still with this woman and the weekend before we always go and do Christmas with them. I am the youngest of 4 and my parents have 10 grandchildren total 23 to my youngest who is 7. We eat and drink too much and celebrate my father who a year ago had a mass removed from his pancreas and this point seems like he beat a death sentence, pancreatic cancer. Two tours of Vietnam my Father is a tough SOB.

    Heading out to ski this morning and heading over for Christmas and the Patriots game, going to be a great day. Cheers all and thanks for letting me share. See you all later at Pop Pop’s House.

    Well this isn't the beer I meant to grab, this is a Six Mile Bridge Double Dy Hopped Extra IPA ( which means it was hiding in plain sight since August :astonished: ) Still tastes decent. Hot tub time, since I snoozed in the recliner last night



    Happy Winter Solstice

    edit: adding a splash of Orange Juice since the hops are taking a backseat, due to Father time

    I'm at work, so I can't take a picture, but I may have opened a can of Long Trail's Over the Handlebars DIPA. Whatever, my boss left for Michigan on Thursday, and it was -1 degree for my drive in.

    This is the only Christmas song I'll listen to voluntarily:

    I like this beer, but it tastes like coffee-aged coffee.

    Cheers to you, @SawDog505. I always enjoy your posts for the beers and the pictures, but I enjoyed this one for the story, as well.

    BA has been a really fun community to be a part of over the last four years and it's because of people like you. I'll be joining the fun later on today.

    Cheers and have a great holiday!

    Well....I meant to get around to this last night but...I fell asleep. Fun night out last night. This is delicious. I’ve aged this beer before but fresh is the best. Cheers to wherever your Saturday brings you.

    I’m really impressed with that. The last 2 years in the bomber were good but never felt like the first time I had it. The maple syrup is perfect in this years. Might even be better than I remember.

    I think @LeperJim once gave me an aged version of this beer. He might've given me this as well:

    The beer, I mean - the background is obvious. Cheers to longer days ahead of us.
