Adventing it up still...

Beer Advent Ketchup...
 
12/4 - (reposted from a Facebook status) Full Sail Session Lager @ zee casa. As you can see, I'm working on completing my set. Drank the last one that I smuggled home from NYC trip. Anyone want to share a case with me to help me find the last bottle cap? I want to be able to cry out "I've got the golden ticket!" :) I don't want to have to go into full on harassing mode to the Full Sail kids @ Parkway tomorrow night to get the hook ups. 


12/5 -It's a tie between the New Belgium Lips of Faith La Folie & the 3 Skulls Blood Orange Wit. Had both @ the Duck Island Ale House with MGD in Seattle, while playing a few (okay... an extensive amount) games of hostile (on my part) pinball.


12/6 - Guest Advent by MGD. (ie a frantic text message was sent in his general direction this morning asking: "I certainly hope you held up your end of our drinking unit last night and had at least one beer. I got tired, passed out like a lame-o and forgot to drink my advent beer!") At Casa de MGD the following ales were consumed and rated: Dogfish Head Squall IPA & Ommegang Adoration. I'm really glad we bought 2 bottles of Squall IPA. I now don't have to go into my typical rant (lasting anywhere from 2 to 7.5 minutes) of "I can't believe you drank (insert any beer we've ever bought or possessed) without me, I don't care how much beer we have!! What kind of human being are you?! Blahblahblah."

18 Days & 18 Beers to go!!

Who knew that beer could be so ADVENTageous?

'Twas cruising the interwebs the other day and came across a cool concept. The Beer Advent Calendar. I'm hoping you all know what an advent calendar is (the nadvent version seems like a viable option for some years...), but if not let me fill ya in. Usually comes in the form of a cardboard thingy with little flaps/doors that you open every day. Beginning on December 1st and counting down the days to the Big One. You know, Christmas. Chocolate & toys are usually found behind each door.

Constructing an advent calendar to fit beer bottles would be a lofty mission (I'm thinking 2x4's + table saw = something remotely resembling a huge wooden tree with cubby holes) and I'm 4 days too late at this point. I can still commit to drinking a beer every day until the 25th though!!

 I will keep updating as I make my way through December but here is what I've accomplished so far...

12/1 - H.U.B. Rise-Up Red @ Parkway Tavern
12/2 - Sierra/Dogfish Head Life and Limb collaboration stout @ Brouwers Cafe BigWood event
12/3 - Full Sail Red Label Session @ home (Christmas related side note: while watching Love Actually while decorating my house with holiday cheer)

'Tis the season 'n stuff.
