I've put on a ton of weight and belly fat throughout summer and fall, and I need to slim down before the season starts. For the 21 day fix, I will only be drinking water and coffee. No beers to drunj. :(

I follow the local hole-in-the-wall bar (which has tons of beers) on Twitter. Today they tweeted this was on tap now.

Like 2014 Pumking, 12DGA seems to be light on the spices. GLBCCA better not be!

Do you mean 12DCA? As in "12 Dogs of Christmas Ale?"

Their beer is definitely different from GLB Christmas Ale, though I actually like 12 Dogs more. Lately, GL has been lowering the ABV of the Christmas Ale, and it seems like there's more spice in it every damn year, to the point that I can just take it or leave it. It tastes like a damn wassail. I like Christmas beer, but I want it to still taste like beer. I don't need it to taste like Santa's elves' Christmas cheer.

Dude probably got some under-the-table grain alcohol at Jungle Jim's.

Prost, Curly.

I'm here. Haven't had a whole lot of new beers lately. I did pick up a 4 pack of Fat Heads Hop Stalker last night after cigars. I haven't tried it yet. We finally got Sweet Water here in Cincy, so I'll try them this weekend.

Jungle Jims Pint Nite tonight features Rogue...I think I'll pass.
