Trees

Well, our Christmas tree is up once again. Each year it gets more obvious that no matter
what the tree looks like to begin with , it always ends up with the same look. The ornaments
always do that. once again here is the proof,this year is on the right. It is bigger and took every
ornament and light we had but still looks like last years. I guess thats kinda nice!

Happy Holidaze

All set (ale wize anyway) for the Holidays. Not only do I have all of these new Holiday ales, I am finishing the old ones too. I find it fun to see how long they will "mature" without going off. So far results have been mixed. I had several Jubelales go bad last year. On the other hand I had a Anchor special ale from 2006 yesterday that was fine. The same happened with 2 Serria Nevada celebration ales a few days ago. 2006 was bad but 2008 was good. All the older ones are almost gone anyway. Years ago we tried this over a 10 year period with the 10 year old ale proving to be best!
