Thanksgiving Beer Lineup 2022

My wife and I will be visiting and my 'job' is to bring the beer. I will be bringing a mixed case of homebrewed beers:

• Ekuanot IPA
• Wet Hopped Harvest Ale (using freshly picked hops from my hop plant in the backyard)
• English Bitter Ale
• Belgian Dubble
• Clone of Orval
• Oatmeal Stout
• Czech Dark Lager

Hopefully there will be a beer for everybody except the Bud Light drinkers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Cheers!

 

nice call on the czech dark lager. such a great style! also, what a nice variety you’re bringing. if someone can’t find something in that mix, that’s on them!

 

Yeah, well, there will always be somebody who is not completely happy. On a day of Thanks-giving no less!?! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I will be happy on Thanksgiving!!

Cheers!

 

In the morning I'm preparing brussells sprouts cooked in Boston Lager (while drinking a Boston Lager). Bringing the Sam Adams Holiday mixer plus some SN Celebration (and perhaps a Focal Banger if there's any left by then) to my parents for Thanksgiving dinner. Mixing in some bourbon as well!

 

Probably start the day with a Guinness Coffee, I think there's one left...?
Of course the annual viewing of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles prior to dinner will be happening, more than likely will be having a NB VR Juice Force with that.
I think that Wizard Sleeves sour I just got from Arkane on Saturday will pair pretty well.
If I'm still Thirsty after that....not sure yet....

 

Sooooo....when do we eat!?

 

This is impressive!

 

Probably will start off with some German beers at my first get together. Not sure which yet tho.

2nd party I will shift to Celebrations and bigger beers. Will be sharing some BA beers. Going to bring a few bottles of BCBS.

 

I hope to be able to find a few 750ml bottles of Ayinger Celebrator.

 

I'd love to be drinking at that party! Doing it right

 

i’d say it’s appropriate but i’d also argue that there is plenty of winter months ahead and that it’s time to finish up those autumn seasonals in the back of the fridge.

 

Sure why not, as long as it's a beer that fits the occasion of a T-Day meal, etc. To me that would eliminate a sweet spice Christmas beer.

 

As far as I'm concerned, you can drink Christmas beers as soon as Dollar Tree puts out their Christmas stuff. I think that was three weeks ago.

 

Probably gonna do a big stout to start the day off. Then alternate some lagers and farmhouse stuff. Finish off on another big beer; stout or strong ale. And, a bourbon side car. I typically skip dessert so I can load up on beer and liquor calories. Cheers.

 

I have one last Octoberfest from Great Lakes then sip on an Oatmeal Stout in the evening.

 

Several pumpkin/yam beers to finish up- Lancaster Baked, Tröegs Master of Pumpkins, and Saucony Creek Maple Mistress. I have nowhere to go so will either have some wine or indulge some Celebration or Mad Elf. As it's a 4-day work break I also have a Weyerbacher Quad ready to go and some barleywines/wheatwines.

Should be a good holiday.

 

As is tradition for me, I stopped by Tree House for some Thanksgiving. I got some fresh King Julius to start, their new Grodziskie, Wycinanki with the meal (along with my homebrewed Dunkelweizen), and a bottle of last year’s Amedee, their Belgian Dark Strong, that I felt was too hot last year with/as dessert. I’m sure I’ll mix in some other stuff too, TH or not

 

I always start on a new keg of homebrewed cider on Thanksgiving. Will drink some Celebration Ales and might drink a BCBS to make room for the new ones the next day and drown my sorrows after the Giants game.

 

My wife is breaking out her last bottle of SR-71 for a few family members to try, and I'll be grabbing a sixer of Celebration, a 12 pack of Pale, and a sixer of Winter Pils from Shorts for some nice variety.
