What a end of the year it was...my sister and her family joined us for the holidays, filling our house with more kids, wonderful food, and lots of good beer. My bro-in-law Sean is nearly as big as a beer geek as me, and we spent some quality time bonding over those good beers. From Christmas night at the
Muddy Pig sharing a
Southern Tier Cuvee One oak aged strong ale to waiting in line at Surly to purchase some growlers of their double IPA 16 Grit--the last
Surly growlers to be sold until the law is changed--to using a gift certificate to buy some sweet beers from the
Four Firkins, it was a ton of fun.
The Firkins Haul:
Imperial stouts and porters
Pale Ales, IPAs and Double IPAs
More Double IPAs and Boulevard Saison with BrettI traded a growler of Surly 16 Grit with a guy in Chicago for some top-notch beers.
