393) Home: Lager by Dead Frog Brewery of British Columbia: *1/2; a fairly typical lager with perhaps a little something special as lagers go, but not particularly distinctive;
394) Home: Spiced Rum Finish by Innis & Gunn of Scotland: **1/2; finished over oak infused with spiced Carribean rum; marvelously complex and warming; aged for 47 days prior to release; from a gift pack I bought for myself, which comes with a very nice glass;
I have to admit, I did VERY well in terms of beer this Christmas. People were more than kind.
I was initially taken aback when my niece advised me that the grasshopper was from her but I was delighted to learn that she meant Grasshopper Wheat Ale by Big Rock. My brother worked a miracle and found Black Coal Stout by Railway City which is basically unavailable. My wife checked in with a pair of gift packs and my son presented me (if you will excuse the term) with six Netherworld by Flying Monkeys.
I will be enjoying my Christmas beers well into January, if not February. Luckily, at this time of year I am able to store what doesn't fit in the beer fridge in the garage without fear of spoilage by lack of refrigeration.
