Civil Society’s Got ‘Em IPA is good hops, and the sneakerhead-inspired label is really smart.

Snowy Sunday
That snow sky paid off, for a few hours anyway. I hustled out to get a fire started so I could drink some coffee in the snow.
We ended up with about 4 inches. This measurement was after it had been raining/sleeting a bit. It would have been a ton of snow if we’d gotten 5 degrees colder.
That morning coffee was the only time I left the house. I spent the evening working on this miso-marinated flank steak stir fry. It was a tasty but I already know what changes I’m making for next time.
Beer-in-the-snow postscript, because beer and firepits are like “peas and carrots”, as Forrest would say.

2020 Hopslam
Still too costly, and still de-lish-us.
12BoC#9
Tough one. I don’t like Belgian beers generally, and this quad was a total no-go.
Can’t all be winners, man.
12BoC#8
I drank it already. It’s a other solid IPA. Clown Shoes makes good beers.
12BoC#7
Chocolate Sombrero. I think “Mexican-Style” means pepper spicy. There might be something there but it’s pretty mild. The Prairie Bomb is my reference for this kind of thing.
It’s only okay.
12BoC#6
Bubble Farm IPA is neither West Coast pine nor East Coast haze which is a nice switch-up in 2020.
This one is tasty.
12 B of C #5
Malt malt malt. And 8%. Too much for me.
12 Beers of Christmas 3 and 4
I should spread them out more but I didn’t want a beer last night. Sorry.
Pecan Pie Porter is fun to say and easy to drink. I spent a winter getting into porters a few years ago. It’s a nice compromise where you get a lot of the maltiness of a big stout with a much lower ABV
This one was much more “porter” than “pecan pie”, which is a positive in my book.
Space Cake is a really great DIPA that I’ve had several times. At 9% it’s one to be wary of but, man, is it tasty.
This is the only one in the box so I’ll be fine.
