Welcome to the 24 Days of Beer - 2020 Holiday Edition

 

Like winning a leg lamp, few things stir the excitement for the holidays like receiving your case of beer for the 24 Days of Beer. Well, that day has arrived. 

As always, the rules are simple, yet majestic. We have assigned a different beer for each of the 24 days from Dec. 1 through Dec. 24. Plus, a special bonus day (own purchase) if you'd like to join in the fun (more below).

Below you will discover the 2020 list, which is the usual mix unique local brews and beloved holiday styles and a few surprises. The Day 1 beer - Silver Branch Sacred Table -- Tuesday around noon and each day there after. As always, please comment as you are able and share your thoughts on each beer.

Just remember, with each beer and each comment, you are one step closer to the end of 2020 and what must be better times to come (right).

Financials: Many of you have already paid (and thank you). If you haven't, please send $63.04 to me via Venmo, PayPal, or these things called cash or check. Seems a weird way to pay for things. You might as well offer an ox and some chickens.

Motivated by a purchasing error, we are also adding a bonus day for Sierra Celebration on Dec. 25. The beer has been part of every 24 Days in its vaunted history. Some of us old timers couldn't let it go. So if you are motivated, please go out and buy yourself some Celebration and join us. Or just jump on the blog and let us know what you are having on the 25th.
