Nice! I bet it is good!Oh well, managed 6 weeks off the bevy, found a centennial wet hop homebrew I made end of september in my celllar so cracked it open last night

@sunvalleylaw @bsman Yeah, I am somehow getting spoiled to a weird level (this is also a bit of homerism - the greater NM brewing scene has been having a Golden Age since circa 2012, amen to that).

I'm sure you 'get' the name.

Thinking I want a whiskey toddy sometime over this holiday period. Maybe tonight.

It's weird, but the coziness of the holiday also makes me much more receptive to stuff (like casked ales) that normally I find 'too boozy.'

I've got a handful of special things that I've been stocking up for the holidays; some big barrel aged brews and scotch. Might crack something open but I might wait for the new years...dunno
Roasting coffee right now so tomorrow we will be having Ethiopia Agaro Genji Lot 13 with breakfast. It sounds like it should be a nice complex cup.

We’ve been making a ton of mulled wine.
a decent-ish red, cinnamon sticks, sliced oranges, apple cider, cloves, and star anise.

Malbec at home. Merlot today at my parents’ house. I love beer but it makes me feel awful when I drink it.
NyQuil night cap tonight.
