The first was that my brother the Jerk has his own blogspot. The pictures from the game are newly added, the foot picture was the opener when I first saw it.
Second thing I learned: Having the Browns lose on Thursday, makes my Sundays much more enjoyable.
Third and perhaps most important is my new favorite thing about the hoidays, Holiday Specialty Brews. My 3 favorite in order of taste:
1. Great Lakes Christmas Ale-had the first one of these ever probably 9 years ago in Kent. I was with Robbie T, and Mark Pucci was also there.
2. Blue Moon Winter Ale- Knew I liked Blue Moon Belgiian White, so i gave this a shot one night with Jay Vegas.
3. Winter's Bourbon Cask Ale-Also tried this one last week with Jay while we watched Brewfest and considered hosting our own events.Also receiving votes- Pete's Wicked Winter Ale, Samuel Adam's Winter Lager, and Goose Island Christmas Ale
Spuncie General's Warning: Here's a toast to all of you and a reminder that if you try one of these brews tread lightly the alcohol content is more than double that of your average domestic swill.

Good times. I agree with Great Lakes at No. 1 and have one Cask Ale left in the fridge. Bolls thinks it's too "vanilla-y," but Robby likey.
Bolls is too Vanilla-y
I read this post and decided this was one I could chime in on. Well, what do you know, I have already had my opinion aired. Anyways, I too, have become infatuated with Holiday brews. I was so excited at Giant Eagle the other day, as I picked up the Coors Winterfest and a Sammy Adams Brewmaster pack (Black Ale, Brown Ale, Original, Boston Ale and Scotch Ale) Do yourself a favor!
Here is my order of what I have tasted this winter:
Sammy Adams Winter
Great Lakes Christmas Ale
Coors Winterfest
Cask Ale
I must try Blue Moon winter, as BM has quickly become a summer favorite for me.
Thanks for a great post
You know what's funny is that Blue Moon is brewed by Coors. And the Cask Ale is brewed by Anheuser Busch.
Explains why both have a high alcohol content but not the bite of the GL Xmas ale.
BTW welcome, and sorry I had to call you vanilla-y to get you to post.
Looked for the Blue Moon at Acme tonight, but no luck. Did you buy this, or have it at a bar?
Bought it at a beverage store. Surprised they didn't have it if they carry the white.
