Bacon makes everything better. Also a random food tidbit I just learned. French chefs used to wrap tenderloin in sub par bits of meat when searing temporarily went out of culinary fashion. They originally discarded the wrapping. Later, they switched to using bacon, which gave rise to this popular dish.
Yea, my Kolsch kicked soon after bottling for the swap too. Luckily I have them all chilling in the fridge waiting for me when I get back from visiting my parents on Monday.
