Beer

The Beer Exchange went very well today. We had 9 people and 7 different beers (three people purchased the same beer). The Saucy Minx, being one of the 3 that purchased the same beer, went over and above by buying 24 oz bottles. The 6 beers I got were Sierra Nevada's Celebration Ale (2 bottles, one 24 oz and one 12 oz), Victory Hop Devil Ale, Otter Creek Alpine Black IPA, Heavy Sees Winter Storm Category 5 Ale, and Lagunitas Maximus IPA. I had the Lagunitas Pils earlier this summer which I liked. I'm looking forward to the samples. I purchased the Dundee Festive Ale which I liked a month or so ago.

I also threw out the idea of an orphan beer exchange. I, at least, like to try a lot of different beers. I'll buy a case drink most of it, and then move onto the next case. I always have 1 or 2 beers left when I move on and they just sit there in the fridge. If everybody else did the same we could easily bring all the stragglers along and probably get to try at least a few different beers or revisit some old favorites.

Big shout out the the Minx's husband. You are a saint.
