I told the family to make sure they got me some good Belgian beer. So they got me Shock Top. True story. It’s the thought that counts.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

There is not much beer related left to get so I got two bottles of Avery Mephistopheles RIS. Possibly the best RIS out there. At about $10 per 12 oz bottle and 16.5% abv, I will be laying these down for 5 years.
