I'd intended to get this post up a few weeks ago. Back then, the air was chilly and crisp. There was that distinctive autumnal aroma on the breeze. It would've been perfect for the blog to ring in Oktoberfest season. Alas, I waited too long.

Now, we're back to 90-degree days with air quality alerts. It's still summer, and the weather wants us to know it. But hey, at least it's a good day for a lager! I'm doing up Three Floyds Munsterfest today. I bought it primarily for the label--I, much like my toddler, love Godzilla. Let's see if this Oktoberfest-style lager is just label-temptation or the real deal!

It was nice and sunny for the first part of the day. We took Lottie for a walk then to see/get her picture taken with Santa. Now she's sleepy and snuggled up as the clouds roll in--it's about to snow heavily here all night.


I'd be lying if I didn't say I was excited for it. The lights around our Christmas tree are glowing, a candle's burning on our coffee table, and we have plenty of wood for a fire in our stove tonight. We're pretty well set to enjoy the snow while it lasts. The only thing that could make all this preparation more perfect is a Christmas beer. That's where Three Floyds' Alpha Klaus comes into play.
