    Going with my beer of December Day 19 early. No snow here, may be the latest time ever we haven’t had measurable snow. I’m kind of not complaining, but it would be nice to have some for Christmas.

    Happy Sunday, virtual bar brethren!

    You can have my snow @mschrei .

    Well, I can't sleep, so maybe this might help. Sorry it looks washed out.

    With all due respect, I've had my fill of snow throughout the years, and would be quite happy if I never see snow again in Chicago.

    What I'm glad I have seen in Chicago this month, Anchor's Our Special Ale 2021!

    This conjured dreams of Christmas past, with Frango Mints (F Macy's) of yesteryear my nearest comparison. Simply superb, so grateful of the Winter Warmer tasting which steered me toward revisiting this great beer. Full review in New Beer Sunday 878.

    Back with two more selections from 1979, a year we experienced a 20.3 inch snow fall, the fourth highest in Chicago recorded history, or what they call in Western New York a light dusting.

    I would enjoy it if Blondie brought her stash of "the white stuff" to celebrate New Years. Drummer Clem Burke is the star of this rendition.

    [​IMG] I was lucky enough to sleep past 7 today. Got my horn scraped last night and slept like a baby despite a Patriots loss. Galaxy Glob from Imprint Brewing thanks to my man @jzeiling. Enjoy your Sunday all.

    Good day BAs! Thanks, @mschrei, for kicking off today! I'm totally with @ChicagoJ on the snow thing - if it only fell on the trees and ground and missed the roads I'd be OK with it but when I've got to shovel it and drive in it, you are welcome to my allotment too!

    Well, today's New Breakfast Beer is from @Roy_Hobbs and NBS BIF #14:

    This was mystery beer #2, appropriately wrapped and hidden. So well hidden, in fact, I just found it lurking in beer reefer #3. Quite nice - one of those brews I'd buy and keep on hand if it were available in my neck of the woods - Rating 4.25, rDev +5.8%.

    Good morning!

    Another great beer! Imo the perfect balance and interchange between sweetness and bitterness. Outstanding mouthfeel.

    Anyone interested in Snooker? Watching Neil Robertson vs Ronnie O'Sullivan (Cazoo World Grand Prix 2021 Final)

    Prost!

    A proper deutsche Rauchbier for a chilly and gloomy Christmas holidays Day? Count me in, as great as ever and warms the body and my heart a bit.

    Good morning BAs! Thanks to @mschrei for using his church key to let us in to celebrate with today’s Beer congregation…starting with a Tavour purchase - Deschutes’ “Home At Port” a Belgian style dark ale aged in bourbon and port barrels:

    [​IMG]

    Bottled 1/16/20. Poured at 57°. I bought this beer because I like barrel aged beers, and have a sweet spot for Sherry and Port barrel aged beers…this offering was worth the price of admission…fantastic layers of flavors - sweet toffee & caramel, port, bourbon, oak, leather, tobacco, cherry, red wine. Dry barrel finish. Black pepper as ale warmed. Very nice!

    No snow here in WV notwithstanding below freezing temps at night, and that’s ok with me. Hope y’all have a super Sunday and Cheers!!

    Wow! This is a good candidate for the last Lager that impressed the hell out of me.

    My largest supplier at my work sent me a sixer of this Dayton beer - where they are based - pretty nice gift and beer!
