My wife found a chick-o-stick flavored soda at a little candy shop in our town. Tastes like a chick-o-stick, I don't know what else I was expecting. It pairs real well with a shot of whiskey for a mixer.

Southern Star Buried Hatchet Stout. This is still one of the best regular stouts you can find in DFW area IMO.
Just nabbed the S&M Sunfish on the bay. Love it, it's a chomper.

My daughter and her husband (and their dog) spent the entire week of Thanksgiving visiting us. They've decided that they're going to start a tradition of visiting us "for Christmas" at Thanksgiving, and celebrate Christmas with his family back in Minnesota at the end of December. Makes sense to me, since they've experienced some bad weather and scary driving the past couple of years coming and going from St. Paul MN in late December.

Anyway, when they visit, they usually bring some craft beer for me from the Twin Cities. This year it was several pints of Inbound Peanut Butter Milk Stout, which I thoroughly enjoyed. They also gave me a faux tortoiseshell Rough Ryder sowbelly stockman as a Christmas gift (after I shared part of my wishlist at my favorite Rough Ryder online dealer). I'm thoroughly enjoying the knife, too!

All this Wintery snow covered talk of stouts is realllllly grinding my gears....

Twas the night before Christmas
And all down the road
Meako was squirming
In his truck, like a Toad
The freezers were empty
The people need ice
So we filled em all up
And thought
A beer would be nice.
We came down the mountain in second gear
Thinking of home and that first sip of beer.
The mountain winds steep
and impatient tourists beep.
Speed limits apply and I aint gettin' booked
So impatient tourists can go and get fooked.

Did a Poet just mention stout?
I've drunk to that: New Holland's The Poet is a very satisfying American oatmeal stout, although I miss the old label art in which The Raven is more prominent.

Merry Christmas to all! waynorth I will be deploying my Bruckmann corkscrew later today to open these. Always impressed by how nice this little German knife is in the pocket. The wood covers are smooth.

BCBS Vanilla Rye. Pretty good! Barhep Boy Scout knife to open. Yes, the edge needs some work. It's been an opener exclusively.

Great beer! Do you live in Chicago? I’ve been looking for the 2024 BCS in Texas and haven’t found any yet.

I'm in Granbury TX. The Specs here had the regular, Vanilla Rye, and Banana Foster.
