So, I'm at the mall for the first time in forever... on the weekend before Christmas... with apparently everyone else in town. But, the family wanted to do some Christmas shopping, so here I am. They are all off shopping, so...

... I'm going to just camp out at the Cheesecake Factory bar and keep out of the traffic. Award-winning Blackstone Adam Bomb IPA for me!

Last night was a disappointment, my sister had a party and there was a good quantity of beer - quantity not quality. Shocktop Belgian White, Corona Extra and Corona Light, some various BMCs, ... Had a Shocktop, Blue Moon tastes better. And several Corona. I will be introducing my sister to some of my homebrews, she lights "beer you can see through", she's really a wine drinker. #NextStopWillBeMomSheMayAppreciateHomebrewMore

Another last pour. Maybe I should start a new thread. This aged well and I will miss it. Also watching the Green Bay game. Go Pack! Image

Introduced my sister to my home brew last night, she did not like Rick's Best Brown, or Mackinac Island Red. Did like Rick Slobbers All Over Brown Ale but the 5.5% ABV knocked her silly. Morning coffee on the dock.
