I got a pair of Spiegelau stout glasses! Tried one out the other day with a bottle of imperial Choco Brown. The aroma was pretty standard, but that glass kept the head on it all the way down to the last sip! I also got a one-gallon brewing kit that came w/ an IPA recipe. I plan to use it for small experiments. And then, of course, I got a 2.5 gallon corny keg that I am slowly picking up parts for to start using it (hopefully by the spring).

First and foremost, I'm a Trekkie. Got hooked Sept. '66(so fire me). My daughter got me a "Captain Kirk in his Chair" salt and pepper shaker.

For fun stuff I got a Hubsan X4 quadcopter and a giftcard to the homebrew store so that I can make a batch of beer soon. I also got a lot of clothes and shoes which is helpful because I was down on my money for a while and that stuff wears out.

It's funny, I think the person that got me the quadcopter hates my wallet. She got me my first Mr. Beer kit which turned into a hobby and now she got me the quadcopter. I haven't had this much fun with something RC since I was real big into RC cars in middle and high school. I already want to start pricing out building my own after I get some more of the basics down.

I got this:

0101150815.jpg (42.89 KiB) Viewed 225 times
It's Surely Brewing's "Eight Ale". I've never had it but my son - who gave it to me - said it's delicious. And even though he's young his Daddy taught him a thing or two about beer so I respect his opinion.

Plus, from LOML I got a copy of "Over The Earth I Come" and a copy of "Through Dakota Eyes". Both about the events leading up to the 1862 Dakota up-rising that ended with the mass hanging of 38 Dakota warriors in Mankato, MN. Sad time. Sad history. So far very informative and well written books.
