Hopefully everyone had a great holiday and received plenty beer and beer-related gifts. Among other things, I received some nice (huge) mugs from my mom as well as Ray Daniels’ Designing Great Beers, a nice thermometer and a growler pack from Town Hall. Much to my surprise, my brother’s girlfriend joined us on the 25th with a bunch of beer from New Glarus. Clearly, she’s a keeper… and she brings good beer. 🙂
