12 Beers Of Christmas

[IBQTEE1]

So, a local pub by me called Durty Nellies is having their 12 Beers of Christmas. They have a punch card, once you get your 12 punches you get a souvenir t-shirt and pint glass.

Last night I started with Delirium Noel, Great Lakes Christmas Ale and Three Floyds Alpha Klaus. Needless to say I was a little buzzed.

3 down 9 more to go. Thinking that Sunday I will be able to get a couple more punched. :tu

[Montano]

Sounds like fun Kristin :)

Looks like you preferred the Floyds ;)

[Jbailey]

Go for it Kristin!

I had one by me that you needed to try 150 beers to get a shirt and trophy. One of the most delicious/difficult challenges I've ever been in.

THat's cool.

[BigFrank]

Id get dropped off and rail all twelve!!! Cool deal!

[Sauer Grapes]

I have to try that FFF one! I asked my SIL to pick me up a sixer of it as my Christmas present.

[IBQTEE1]

Id get dropped off and rail all twelve!!! Cool deal!

I thought about doing that but after 3 I was pretty well buzzed. Can't imagine what 12 would have done to me!! :r

The Delirium is nice as well as most things 3 Floyds as well. Nice selection for a bar.

Can you get a prize every night? :D:r

Might be hard on the liver and you would need someone to help get you and your prize home.

I've had/like the Delirium, haven't tried the other two. What are the other 9 on the list?

Last night I started with Delirium Noel, Great Lakes Christmas Ale and Three Floyds Alpha Klaus. Needless to say I was a little buzzed.
The Delirium Noel is 10% alcohol, the Great Lakes is 7.5%, and the Alpha Klaus is also 7.5%. A "normal" beer is about 5.5% alcohol, so if you add it up, you had close to 5 "normal" beers worth of alcohol consumption.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. :ss

Well, last night I was able to drink 3 more beers. I had the Avery Christmas Jubilation, Dieu du Ciel! Solstice d'Hiver (Barleywine) and the Goose Island Christmas Ale.

They are getting in a bunch more beer this week. Everything we wanted to try them seemed to be out of.

I am half way there!! :banger

[IBQTEE1]

OK, I must still be drunk. But I forgot to add the Petrus Winter Bier. Only 5 beers to go.

I've had Delerium tremors! Wicked stuff! Good luck with your journey!

This post got me going. I went down to the International Beer Garden last night. Had a 2 Delerium Noel, Delerium Tremors, 2 Bellhaven Sotch Ale, and Lindemans Rasberry Ale. It was a good night.

Sounds like a great night!!

I was able to check one more off my list last night. I had the Point Saint Benedict.

Only 4 more to go!!!

[Coach Deg]

It was great. The IBG didn't have a great Christmas selection but the bellhaven was awesome!

[IBQTEE1]

Last night was a good night. I was able to check off another beer. I had the Rouge Yellow Snow which is an India Pale Ale. Only three to go!! :banger

I meant to say congrats at the time, Geoff, but I was right in the middle of something. :)

Can I get a shirt for one Cheerwine of Labor Day?

I can make one, it will have Miguel Cabrera's mug shot on it though.

You mean the shot from his drunk driving arrest, when he told the officers "I'm Miguel Cabrera! So go ahead, #)@&in' shoot me!"?

Nah, pass. :D

[icehog3]

Fine, see if you and I will be twins at the next event we attend together, Thomas. This just forces me to wear my "Il megglior fabbro" shirt again.

[The Poet]

Hey, when Miguel is both as old and certifiable as Ezra is at left, he'll hope to look as good.

[icehog3]

I got nuttin'. :)

[jonumberone]

This just forces me to wear my "Il megglior fabbro" shirt again.

Sleeveless "Il megglior fabbro" shirt!
Now that's a look! :D

[icehog3]

Ooh, I could rock that one, Dom! :r

[IBQTEE1]

Congrats!

Um, thanks I guess. :D
