I know it's late, but we did it. Christmas has been accomplished.
Michelle and I spent the day with her family (we were with mine over the weekend). Her brother woke up at a super reasonable time this morning (8 a.m., instead of his usual 11) and, after Christmasing around her folks' for a few hours, we drove to her grandparents' for the rest of the day.
Now that all's been said and done, we're home. Nat King Cole is crooning "The Christmas Song" from my speakers (again--what can I say? It's a classic). The lights around our tree are plugged in. We've doled out the cats' gifts. All that's left to do is this:12 Drummers Drumming, my Christmas 2019 post.
We've entered November. This is typically a slow month for the blog--straddling the blowout seasons of Halloween (in October) and Christmas (starting pretty immediately after Thanksgiving and running until December 25th). Over the years, I've tried to throw up a few Thanksgiving-themed beers, but this year I'm doing something else. Maybe it'll carry through until November 2020 and become a thing? Who knows.
I'm participating in National Novel Writing Month for the second year in a row and, let's face it, most of my writing tolerance will be going to attempting to meet that fifty-thousand word goal. But, I don't want to let the blog fall by the wayside so, why not focus on beers that I'm certain will bring me joy to write about. Enter, Maple Beer Season.
See, I love maple syrup. It's my absolute favorite flavor and it's a great addition to many things, especially beers. But, not every brewery utilizes it wisely. Hopefully I won't find an instance of that this month but, if I do, I'm sure I'll at least appreciate the effort.
Okay, now that you know what's going on around here for the next few weeks, let's get right into it. Today's beer is The Bruery's Vermont Sticky Maple.
