A hearty round of applause

One of the breweries very local to me just received a wonderful honor - one of the top 25 beers of 2011!

Many congratulations to Brian over at Stillwater Artisinal Ales! There is a reason why I had bought three bottles of this elixir, it's amazing!

Good lord, look at the reading list I have to catch up on...

• Beer Advocate: October 2007

Phew...quite the list. And me, being "Mister Anal-retentive", I have to read every single word in any book or any magazine that I lay my hands on. I even use the carpet bombs as bookmarks.

I'll let you know if I can ever catch up.
