This is one of those incredibly rare occurrences where the weather's bad enough that my employer shutters its offices for the day so its employees can stay home and safe. Right now, we're getting pummeled with freezing rain, which will last until this evening when it turns to snow. The power's still on--truth be told, I don't think we'll lose it (but we're covered with firewood and bottled water if we do).

After a lazy morning I'm now welcoming an equally lazy afternoon with a bottle of Wolf's Ridge's Dire Wolf Coffee Joy, which I'm sipping before a roaring blaze in our wood-burning stove. I'm so happy to be indoors right now.

And, ladies and gentlemen, I'm back just like that. It's been nearly two months since my last actual "Oh hey, I drank a beer and wrote about it" post and almost four months since I've posted regularly. Hopefully this post will usher in a new era of twice-a-month (or more?) posts.

I'm married now (!) and a homeowner (!!), and those are the two big 2018 things I had to do. Which means now I have time for beer and video games. I drank a lot during my wedding reception and honeymoon. Most of all this will be added into my Untappd account at some later date, so keep an eye on that if you're keen to know what I've been up to lately (I didn't check in much of what I drank while I was actually drinking because I was having too much damn fun).


Anyway, today's post is months in the making: Dogfish Head's Lupu-Luau IPA. How does it fare?
