Before the BD party South, our granddaughter we're in care of came down with the flu. Just trying to chill and watch a game..is that so hard?

It's that time of year. Be careful. A couple days before Christmas our granddaughter came down with the flu, type A. After a few days of fever and generally feeling rotten it settled in her lungs and she developed pneumonia. She's been on antibiotics for a few days, and now she's feeling quite a bit better. We're heading there tomorrow to finally celebrate Christmas.
 
This is the last one from a 30 month old batch, I usually keep a few for a year to compare notes from first to last, I figure New years eve was as good as any for a test, this is a BJCP 13A sweet stout..first sip tells me she aged well, I notice the choclate and bitterness more now than my original notes from when it was green..good thing I've got a new batch in a fermentor.

Enjoying one of my many brew related Christmas Gifts (Beer Chemistry glasses- set of 2 -each glass has different compounds)- the perfect gift for drunken Chemists who brew.

Left-just drank one of the remaining few Block Party Amber Ale extract kit brews. I'm trying to kill em all in 2024.
Right- Big Basin Amber Ale, from pg 396 in Palmers book "How to Brew". I like this one a lot. bottled up 51 of em last night so I don't run dry.

Dm me if you want to try the "French Toast Bastard ". I have a few sitting hoping cloying sweetness softens over time.
In the meantime, happy new year all! Here is a bottle that I have sat on for a few years. 14% abv barrel aged barleywine bottled on my wife's birthday. The wolf's ridge barleywine is one of my favorite!

Sorry to hear that… I’m laid up at home with the same thing I think. Haven’t felt this crummy in a long time. Watching Star wars and trying to enjoy this Kolsch from a variety 12 pack that I can’t really taste because my nose is so plugged up.
