November is my favorite time for a beer. See, maple's my favorite beer adjunct. It's so versatile: it can bolster ABV, it can add sticky sweetness, or it can introduce a savory flavor. It's quintessentially North American and, for me, autumnal.
The trick is that November's a busy month in a good year. I participate annually in National Novel Writing Month (because I have a masochism streak, I guess). This year we have a newborn kicking around our home adding to the mix and I'm winding down my career with my current employer while prepping for what's to come next.
But, Bright Eye's just released three EPs of new(ly recorded) tunes, there's a video game tournament happening this weekend that I'll be hopping in an out of as I can, and it's snowing. The baby and Michelle slept in a little. It'll be a good day. Let's see how Fretboard's Fugee fits into all of this.
