What's your favorite BEER?

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! 394 years since the first, by my reckoning.

Please consider donating all unopened bottles to the Jags foundation.

I hear most of the donations to that foundation are "consumed" by the administration!

What's on tap for Thanksgiving? In addition to a local farm-raised turkey and the local pork butcher's spiral cut ham, my beer-drinking guests will have to make some choices:

You sound like the perfect host, im sure you get a lot of company for the holidays

Small crowd, this year! We've had 18 - 20 for dinner most years, but only 13 this year... sis' in-law's family could not make it. I can only take credit for the booze and the heat... my wife and family provide the rest!

This was the first Thanksgiving for which I remember turning on the air conditioning. Got up to 77F in the new part of the house, where we were dining. I blame Blaze King. I had loaded it 24 hours earlier, when it was not nearly so warm, but it's still chugging away even now (28 hours after loading).

Oh... and to keep it on-topic: bottles consumed were Chimay Tripel, La Trappe Quad, and one Old Rasputen. More were enjoying the egg nog than the beer.

Hope you all had a good one! This weekend will be spent splitting wood for 2018, which has become my Thanksgiving weekend tradition.

Congrats on the hold out, I fired up earlier this week with the 26 degree lows overnight. Still can't believe it will be almost 70 today.

What ever is in my hand is my favorite at the time
But prefer Perth Brewery IPA and Beaus Lug Tread Ale
Both from Eastern Ontario Micro Breweries

Lately its been BlueMoon with a orange squeezed into it

FREE!...probably been said already. High Life or anything Leinenkugel's. Too many to choose from in WI

If you want to be techincal , its officially the 152nd federally recognized observation. Records of the feast actually happening in Plymouth are sketchy at best.


I never realized until I watched a Nova special on the Pilgrims recently that Lincoln declared the pilgrim feast the official Thanksgiving in 1863 to try and bring the Union states together around a common holiday during the civil war and in the process give the south the finger over claims that the Jamestown settlement was the real start of the colonies.

Back on beer..... this year I stocked up on 6 12 packs of Spaten, Hacker Pschoor and Paulaner Oktoberfest since the local had a lot more of it than previous years.

I love Oktober but now Im stuck having to drink through all of it (2 to go) before getting to some winter varietals. Anybody wanna come over for a beer

Today I had a special treat: Fegley's 2010 Rude Elf's Reserve aged 4 years in bourbon barrels and kegged in fall 2014. Perhaps one of the best brews I have ever consumed, and that is a very long and expensive list. If you can find it, buy it!

I do have five 4-packs of 2014 and 2015 Rude Elf's Reserve in the beer cellar at home, and after this, they're going to be a little disappointing.

That beer is gonna taste reeeeeeaaaallly good...

I can't wait to crack open this bad boy, finally had a friend in VA pick one up for me, usually they sell out as soon as the stores get them.

Hardywood is a great brewery, and their bourbon barrel aged Quad is one of the best I've ever had. I see their Gingerbread Stout sitting on the shelf at one of my local bottle shops, but have never tried it.

Beer = barley, hops, water, yeast.

PBR = corn, barley, water, yeast, hops. It's not technically beer.
