Everyone I knew seemed to be ordering a beer advent calendar, so I decided to make our own! As fun as it was, I’m almost glad it’s over. We were washing lots of glassware!
Here’s what our December looked like!
The First 12 Days
No Coast Beer Co
A good Traditional Stout
Breckenridge Brewery
A light yet rich flavor
Einstök Ölger
A very smooth porter
Shmaltz Brewing
I cannot hang with IPAs, but this one had a really good flavor. My husband loved it. “Fizzy and good”
Brooklyn Brewer
I love sours, but this one was too tart even for me.
Belhaven Brewery
I’m always a fan of a Scottish ale
Sierra Nevada
Damn good stout.
Shiner/Spoetzl Brewery
I love this one! I was sad to have to share it. The candied flavor hits a little hard at first but it smooths out.
Robinsons Brewery
Husband “would have done Eddie proud”
Cerveceria la Paz
Tasty. I didn’t know how else to describe this one. We both liked it!
Good Life Brewing Co
A little too hoppy for me, but has a good flavor. Jayson loved it
Bishop Cider
Local DFW cidery!
A very tasty, semi dry cider.
The Last 12 Days
Einstök Ölgerð
Very good! It tastes a bit stouty (technical term)
Cervecería Mexicana
Immortal Beloved was so good!
Fort George Brewery
“tasty & thick enough to chew” – husband
Boulevard Brewing Co.
Tech N9ne Bou Lou! I had to get it
It’s like a piña colada! So good
True Vine Brewing Company
Calendar Carbonated coffee. Huge hit with the husband.
Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company
I love me a good porter
10 Barrel Brewing Co.
One from my penpal. It was good, but not as refreshing as I’d hoped being made of cucumbers.
Rogue Ales
An easy beer. Nice honey taste
903 Brewers
Tastes like Christmas, and so pretty too!
Cervecería Mexicana
A good Porter
Anderson Valley Brewing Company
I forget how sweet framboise tend to be, but this was still really good.
Shiner/Spoetzl Brewery
I really liked this one, it wasn’t super hoppy, which for me is a plus!
About a week ago we splurged on some special, limited release beers at HEB, but we decided to save them (or I decided for us) for Christmas day!
You can’t go wrong with a Lakewood Brewing Company Temptress and Jayson said this one got better with each sip. Though that might have been the 11% talking.
The Maple Scotch from Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. was my favorite beer at GABF. I checked their website over and over hoping to see it was available near me. Nada
I got so excited when I saw this at the store I actually scared Jayson a little bit.
It was just as good as I’d hoped it would be.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday season, we’ll see you in 2019!
In the mean time, enjoy our card!
Is deer is your favorite drink?

Honestly soda is probably my favorite thing to drink. But I do enjoy a good beer or wine. This page is just about mine and my husband’s homebrewing adventures.
