    I love irony. The incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs. Irony is this humble American expat who gave all possessions away to retire in Europe, and celebrates this day, this spirit, this tradition of Thanksgiving, by opening the virtual bar to a worldwide audience.

    Giving of Thanks between European settlers and their Native counterparts.

    The circle is unbroken.
    Family.
    Friends.
    Prosperity.
    Grace.

    You are what you Love.
    Celebrate!

    Let’s raise our glass today and ‘cheeeeeer’ who is beside us.
    To those before us.
    To the Little Ones we influence.
    It’s so Special. It’s so Important.

    A worthy offering, I lift this Brasserie Hoppy Road (France) ‘Dirty Love’ Barrel Aged Barley Wine, 12.4% ABV, aged 26 months in Calvados Apple Brandy barrels.

    Happy Thanks Giving, America!

    (And.,. Thank You @Todd for this assemblage. Cheers to you!)

    Happy Turkey Day BAs! Thanks @MadMadMike for opening the bar and for the SNL sketch - I'd never seen it previously yet it sounded vaguely familiar...

    Today's New Breakfast Beer:

    [​IMG]

    Final impression and summation: 4 This is the last bottle from the four-pack – the first three, while good, failed to deliver bourbon nor any extra oakiness so I held off reviewing until the last bottle. To my taste, this is almost a sweet/milk stout, hardly the KBS I know and love.

    Rating 3.66, rDev -14.9%

    Have a good Thanksgiving too all 'Murican people in attendance to the virtual bar today. I had indigestion for 18 hours after my Mexican lunch yesterday. So I got to drive for 7 hours in the rain to Ohio, but Congo by Michael Crichton was 3.5/5 sci fi novel on the drive. Stopped at the gas station and saw a 6 pack of celebration which I've been wanting for months. I will be getting my head hunter later from the minit mart near my dad's house. Stressful drive, glad I brought my stash. The glitter bomb is one of the best anxiety killers I've tried, but now I'm really hungry lol. Family dinner is at 1pm. :stuck_out_tongue::sunglasses:

    Turkey day marathon.

    Celebration. Fresh C hop flavors. No beer glasses in the house lol.

    This is the best album of all time. I'm going to learn all the guitar parts soon. Dual rectifier sound is the best. I use neural dsp plugins software.

    Happy Thanksgiving BA's! Thanks @MadMadMike for today's launch, wish I could send you today's 80 degree and sunny weather. Parade's on, wife's happy, so I'll start with a KBS Spicy Chocolate. Have a safe (if you're frying the turkey), blessed day with family and friends.

    Jai Alai while prepping some snacks. Kids will be over later for Thanksgiving appetizers. It's sunny and 72 degrees, quite a bit different than @SawDog505 & @tekstr1der's weather right now......

    Hello BAs and Happy Thanksgiving. We have a lot to be thankful for. This year Tom the Turkey sez: Goblet Goblet!! to hold this Arcobrau Coronator Doppelbock. Pretty awesome.
    In need of a laff this morning this did the trick:

    A second IPA as I get ready to final prep, and stuff, the turkey - Dank Little Thing:

    It’s going to be a warm (75°) sunny day here on the SW FL coast. After I put the bird in the oven I’ll go to my friends’ party for a cocktail and a snack…then back home to finish dinner prep for friends coming here later.

    A full day yet ahead; enjoy BAs and Cheers y’all!
