We finally got to do another Stay At Home Beer Tasting, with the holidays and Jayson working a bunch of overtime (along with being sick for the last month) we hadn’t gotten to do another one.
Even still we decided to be lazy about it this time and ordered pizzas from Marcos. Jayson fell in love with their pizza, specifically with their cheese, when we were in Denver and was so happy to find out we have one not too far from the house.
Good hefeweizen! 
I was hopeful. Sadly I guess they used extract or flavoring so it had a very cough syrupy taste. 
Delicious! It really does taste like a snickerdoodle. Perfect amount of cinnamon. 
You really can’t go wrong with pecans. This had a wonderful flavor. 
Tastes like a really good barley wine. 
Very Hoppy. Good for Jayson, not so much for me.
Brew Update
Our 2nd transfer of our large batch of wine from the grapes we picked at Travis’s Vineyard back in August. I didn’t try it until the very end so I had some sludge but it had a good flavor, though a little tart at the moment. We are going to sweeten some of the bottles but leave the others a little dryer.
We transferred in Jayson’s computer room so that we didn’t have to carry the 8gal bucket into the kitchen and get it all stirred up.
Also, how cute is this bottle? I bought some Pumpkin cider at Aldi for $1.99. Jayson loved the cider, I loved the bottle. I’m going to have to go back and get more because the price is pretty good!
A few more pictures and I’ll be on my way.
And last but not least
I made us a Beer Advent Calendar! It’s not really pretty but it’s the best way I could think to do it and still keep it cool! (I also swapped the 12 & 24, since that bottle is big and doesn’t quite fit anyway lol)
Not sure if everyone else does it this way, but the advent calendars we had growing up, half the fun was looking for the next number, so I mixed them all up.
I’ll do a big old post about the beers we tried after Christmas once we’re done 🙂 You’ll also get to see our ridiculous Christmas card! (it’s become a tradition, our friends count on it… no joke, it’s a lot of pressure! hahaha
I think that’s about all I have to report for now, see you next time!
