Thanks @4_Sons_Brewing - your beers arrived safely today. Love the can label art. If I saw it in a bottle shop I would buy a couple for sure.
Agreed, that's a great plan.
So the time to start the tasting is sneaking up on us. I know we have a couple three beers still in transit, but I thought we could throw those towards the end to allow them time to arrive. At the risk of stepping on toes, here's a suggested order for the tasting.I like the 'Beer and a Post-A-Day' ending on Christmas Day. Would suggested we drink them in a specified order so we're all trying and posting on the same beers on the same day.

I hope the above works for the group. Alternatively we could go with the traditional 12 Days of Christmas (Dec 25th to Jan 5th) - but I for one am chomping at the bit and ready to quaff.
lolololol. Might make sense after a couple. I'm gonna find out pretty soon."4 BOYS BIEWIN CARAMEL RAAREIL QAUDRDIRPDPLLE HELLGOON BEEDTMA+ ???"
After one or two of these Quads it probably reads something else entirely.
er... I hope I didn't screw up here, but I did not send beers to jerbrew and BAF. They were not on the list of addresses I got. I have extra bottles, so I COULD, but I'd need their addresses.So the time to start the tasting is sneaking up on us.

I had a couple of my own tonight, while packaging. Good times. I think I can fly right about now.Going to get stuff refrigerated tonight in prep for this.
@tdf picked up the Spiced Bourbon Stout, replacing @ BAF.They were the 2 that withdrew.
Final list was posted later in the thread.
Sorry - my bad. I thought someone had stepped in last minute to fill us out.@tdf picked up the Spiced Bourbon Stout, replacing @ BAF.
@ jerbrew dropped, so no Fruitcake Old Ale. 11 beers total.

Sorry for the scare. Lists are hard.er... I hope I didn't screw up here, but I did not send beers to jerbrew and BAF. They were not on the list of addresses I got. I have extra bottles, so I COULD, but I'd need their addresses.
I love the tasting notes, anyone who wants to should definitely do the same!If my tasting notes are uncool, please let me know.
Also, as we work through each beer, should the brewer share his recipe?
That one is actually from @mjdonnelly68. Glad to hear it's good because I have one to drink too!
OMG, I saw it in your picture, and made the wrong association Xmas PTO can not come too soon. Good job, @mjdonnelly68 !That one is actually from @mjdonnelly68. Glad to hear it's good because I have one to drink too!
Glad you enjoyed it, whoever the hell made it!
That looks delicious.View attachment 836526
Day 1 - The Abby weizen pours a yellow-golden color, slightly hazy, with a thick white head that is long lasting. Grainy malt flavor, hop bitterness is low, hop flavor low and floral, some citrus notes on the finish, a very low clove note as well. Mouthfeel is medium body with a dry finish. Very good beer, @Beekeeper!
PS Looks like I started early
For my take on Randy M's Abbey Weizen, see post #154 of this thread.If my tasting notes are uncool, please let me know.

Wrong d*** thread so early in the drinking!SA Winter Lager. Pretty, tasty.

Thanks. Used AI for source imagery. Hopefully the beer doesn’t suck.Hey @GoodTimeCharlie - no need to have the blues, your beers all arrived in great shape. Really like your label work too - I'm going to have to up my game.
