Jolly Traveler Winter Shandy

In comes the cold weather, so does the winter beers. Sometimes you have to get away from the big stouts and Belgian beers to quench your thirst. 

The Jolly Traveler Shandy is perfect for this time of year, and can be a bit better since it comes in at 4.4%. I definitely could have drank, and enjoyed, more than one of these. 

Pouring a dark amber, the Jolly Traveler released an bouquet aroma of fruit (pomegranate) and a plethora of spices. 

A combination of mild, yet present, carbonation and the inoffensive alcohol content helps this become a bit too easy to drink. 

Give yourself a break from the heavy beers and enjoy a Jolly Taveler.

The Mad Elf

I cannot lie, I do enjoy Troegs Mad Elf. I can't sit around and drink a six pack of it, but to have one every couple days definitely helps to keep warm.  

The best part of having to buy a case (hopefully these laws change fast so we can get quality bottle shops) is that you have put a six pack in the cellar and save it for next year. Mad Elf is one of the best beers to hang onto. The flavors develop, alcohol settles and it becomes a great beer. 

If you haven't ever had Mad Elf, it is an 11%, Belgian style ale, brewed with cherries. One of my friends doesn't like it because he compares it to cough syrup. I don't see it that way, but to each their own. 

Did you get some Elf yet this year? 

On a Personal Note:
Hello again. I missed doing fun posts. I need to get back into it. I hope you can forgive my absence. It is a fun time when life gets into the way.

Beer Bracket 2014

Oh my, I am alive. Amazing.

Anywho, the NCAA decided to have another tournament this year, so everyone plus the President is filling out a bracket. What happens when you have no idea that Stephen F Austin is in Texas, or that Wichita State are undefeated?  Just use the beer bracket to find your winners!

Here it is, use it at your own risk!
