'Tis the Season: The Advent for 24 Glorious Days of Beer

Courtesy - https://www.buildabirthday.co.nz/products/christmasbeernapkins

We are back! With a strong group of returning drinkers and a nice group of newbies, the concept is beautiful, but simple:


Each day you are assigned a beer, and then your are invited to share your thoughts on each beer. The are no hard and fast rules, but try to stay on the schedule and contribute a thought or two. The beers are a nice mix of holiday styles, the usual styles and the unexpected. It starts Dec. 1 and culminates on Christmas Eve with a festive brew!

That's it. We may ask for a rating through the blog or survey, but mostly this is about drinking new and interesting beers during the holiday season. Hopefully, we get to know each other and are amused with our differing tastes and the odd memories triggered when a familiar flavor hits our lips.

Now, for the reason we are all gathered here today, the unveiling of the beer order. A few things to note: 1) We try to group style to do a compare and contrast, 2) for the first time in the event, by popular demand, we will try to do a get together. It is understood that December is already a horribly busy and we are allspread out quite a bit. With that being understood, we are looking at Dec. 14 for a gathering at Jailbreak to enjoy the beer of the day, depending on interest of participants.
