    My work schedule at USPS is VERY different this week, due to volunteerism (why make others with families work when I CAN?) & projected lack of work. I was off last night/this morning, I work tonight (for the BIG push) & then I am off on F night/Sa morning).

    As such, I have a buncha beers in abeyance awaiting Christmas Eve & Christmas Day (in no particular order):
    a. Fat Head's Holly Jolly
    b. FH Pimp My Sleigh
    c. Evil Genius Santa! I Know Him
    d. Great Lakes Christmas
    e. Yards Long Jawns

    Those are the CANs. Then, in bottles:
    1. Yards Long Jawns
    2. Sam Adams Holiday White
    3. Abita Christmas
    4. S. Tier Old Man Winter
    5. Boulevard Nut Cracker
    6. Bell's Christmas

    The actual "Christmas" beers will be for 25 December and the segue from CANs to bottles will definitely be Yards at some point. Other than that? Follow me on sister site, Untappd, for deets.

    Marriage vows usually include “…for better or worse…” You might see 8+ taps as a “better” option. She might see that as a “worse” option. Either way, you’re both honoring your vows as far as I can see.

    Right. It could be a new IPA, “hoping to dank.”

    Edit: Or maybe “hoping too dank!”

    I read an ‘interesting’ post by somebody who related a life lesson he learned from his grandfather:

    “Marriage is about 90% giving and 10% taking and the tricky part is knowing when you are allowed to take your 10%.”

    Cheers and Merry Christmas to you!

    Also,As long as you promise to always "dink" your S/O .

    Everything should be fine. 20 taps it is!!!

    And I could envision a person who has consumed some “dank” saying “hoping to dink”:

    Or to stay on the IPA theme should it be: "hopping to dink"? :stuck_out_tongue:

    Cheers!

    No plan. Plenty of holiday bevs to chose from in Ye Awould Schtubinskie....although I have been eyeballing an 11 mo old Invictus Imp Stout and/or 1 of 2 cans of 1 yr old Alesmith Imp Speedway Stout. Plus there's a Surly 13 lurking in the crisper drawer as well. I just like the random "whatever I fancy at the moment" type of grab. Perhaps Mrs. Dewitt's fancy xmas pot roast will dictate. Freedom!!
    The plot thickens...Salute!

    For the third year in a row, I bought the Nita Beer 2021 Advent Calendar. 24 different beers from 23 different breweries. I would recommend this next year to anyone living in Ontario.

    Wow that is an awesome trade box. Hope all is well with the family. If it eases your mind, I’ve been having family drama for the better part of a decade. As you may well know, beer helps. Cheers.

    I'm starting a new tradition this year. I will be drinking Schneider Weisse Aventinus as my Christmas Day beer. I was looking for something a little different; higher in ABV, dark, but drinkable from an old line brewery. Aventinus seemed to fit the bill perfectly. It's not something I drink on a regular basis, yet a beer I really enjoy drinking.

    I'll be drinking Allagash Curieux for my nightcap Christmas Eve. I always love that one on a chilly Christmas Eve.
