When I drove home over Thanksgiving, I brought back a full 24 pack of Schlafly Pumpkin Ale. Unfortunately I'm down a six pack left, which I imagine I will be going through tonight.

I've never once gotten a Starbucks gift card. I'd probably either just give it away to someone else or buy a bag of the coffee. I like their coffee.

I had a couple of Goose Island Bourbon County Stouts on NYE. It's a big boy beer- 13% ABV or something. When I first poured it, it had a strong whiskey bite to it. But once it warmed up a little, it mellowed out and you could really taste all the pixie dust and rainbows and kitties that sweeten it up a little. It's a 100 on Beer Advocate and I can absolutely see why.
