Last month it was all about hops. 2 pale ales, an India pale ale and a spicy winter ale. This month is leaning towards the lighter, sweeter ales.
2 wheat ales: a Hefeweizen and a white ale. I love hefe’s and whites (with the exception of Blue Moon!) so I’m excited for these!
The other will be interesting. One is named “Hop On Top” the other is an “Extra Special Bitter” ale however, the descriptions state that neither is overly bitter. They are both supposed to aromatic and lightly sweet. Hmmmmm… We’ll see!
As before, I plan on writing reviews of each of these. Not than any of you will find either of these in Vegas. I mostly do this for my own beer snobbery knowledge!

The Montana Department of Transportation released a commercial showing a man being picked up at a bar by a horse. The intent is to remind drinkers to not drink and drive and instead, have a friend pick them up.
But what do alcoholics really want to know? “Is that legal?”
After several calls had been made to the police station, they released a statement stating that yes, it technically is legal to ride a horse drunk since it is not a motorized vehicle as the law describes.
I think there’s a business opportunity here. I’m gonna open a bar on a ranch that will charge people to ride the animals drunk. Or I could outright start selling horses by encouraging people of their benefits, primarily the legal ability to take yourself home after a night at the bar!
For Christmas, the wife and I received a beer of the month subscription from our BFF, Emily.
We received our first shipment this week. 12 beers, 4 different types from 2 different breweries. The club is meant to introduce people to beer from small breweries in the country that only distribute locally. Not surprisingly, I’ve never heard of either brewery I received this month.
Mendocino Brewery is based in California and has been brewing beer since the 80’s. The extent of their success is mostly winning a few awards at California state fairs.
Second, Stegmaier Brewery is based in Pennsylvania. This company was founded in the mid 1800s by a German immigrant. Needless to say, I’m a bit more excited to try this brewer’s beer.
I’ve never written a beer review before. I’m going to start by trying to review all of the beers I receive from my 3 month subscription. This should be interesting…
