Beers For New Year's! Christmas Gifts from the World's Best Bro
I am about to get ridiculously tanked courtesy of @ed-the-songster, I thought I'd share my line up (welll, my starting lineup anyway) with all of you--- @meesterboom, these need to be on your tasting list! :-)
Starting STRONG with an Imperial Pumpkin Stout, brewed with pumpkin puree and pumpkin spices and coming in at a Beast 12% ABV (this is the one that's going to tip me, even if I do drink it first!)
Next we have DDH Double IPA which is a double dry hopped New England Style IPA with a not too shabby 8%ABV (as far as IPA's go, I'm a big fan of the New England style which generally has a fruitier and less pine needle flavor)
This Vanilla Porter looks mouthwatering- brewed with Madagascar Vanilla Beans with chocolate and roasted notes and a respectable 7.2% ABV- yum guys, just yum!
Another double dry hopped New England style, this with Citra and Amarillo notes and the lowest of the ABV's at 6.5%
I put some food in my belly courtesy of @call-me-howie who made a delicious ziti with some fabulous garlic bread-
Went to the store and grabbed a six pack of these in case the four pints aren't quite enough-
And now to begin! Look at that, isn't it so beautiful? :0)
Note: I'm generally wise enough not to do a whole lot of drunk messages, but in case the huge ABV's on these glorious beers spin me sideways and I decide the fun I can have is the worth the risk- I apologize in advance to any recipients!!
K2 Brothers Brewing is my favorite venue for watching my brother play out- the owners are awesome, the beer is out of this world, the atmosphere is divine, the food is excellent- if anyone is in the Rochester area of NY, you're missing out if you don't check it out:
(My daughter from this past summer-no she's not 21 but that's no reason she should miss her Uncle's shows, now is it?)
And a couple more pics from K2:

Yep, them's my legs hee

Okay then, halfway through my first pint- the Imperial Pumpkin stout is MARVELOUS-
Happy new year and all the best.... from Greece !!!
Happy New Year! Here's to rising from the ashes like a phoenix ;-)
Exactly my friend ! This is real story of my life...! All the best to you and to your family !!!
Happiest of New Years, here's to hoping this next year is a grand one for you and yours. And as for celebrationing, I'm hoping you are still more or less standing. Or at least sitting down and typing away on the machine, now that it is way past midnight in your corner of the country. Though I havent' seen anything yet from there. Those do look like some pretty tasty brews. And speaking of which, I've always thought it fun to get a bit saused, then type away to your friends. Some pretty whacked and funny stuff comes out now and then. Though from this end, it's a semi-quiet night tonight of watching football at the neighbors, then eating snacks while I bang away on Steemit here, me as the fireworks boom all over town. Yee haa, I'm SO exciting : O
Here's to a fine New Year in 2019. Cheers to ya
By the time you wrote that I had switched to 'maryjane' and a movie haha, which is good since I feel fine today :)
It can be fun to drunk message, but it can also be one of those 'doh, what did I say??' moments. Fortunately I didn't wake up to any of those either!
Cheers to you too my friend, may 2019 be excellent!
Oh I remember that gig at K2! Glad to hear they made fantastic beers as well!! I hope you and the fam had a blast welcoming the year, sis!
Three cheers for your beers @dreemit.
Wishing you all the best in life this New year.
Edit: Ah sweet soul, thanks for stopping by my post and ditto! xoxo
Okay, I put that one up there because I love it, but, my brother's music....check this:
Oh yes, sure enough you're celebrating :-)
You know it!! Though it's an at home celebration this year, unusual for us :)
Have a nice one! I wish you good fortune in this year to come!
This year is going to be a hectic one--looking forward to it but
Happy wishes to you too!
These beers look awesome and look at the strength of the beast!! Yes indeed, we will be pillow hugging tomorrow!!!
You know it!! Be sure to drop me a pic of your night out!
I think the Vanilla porter would probably be my favorite although I would hesitate to eat Italian food with it.
Definitely, which is why I ate first haha!
Probably not the only reason to eat first...
Haha! Nope, not the main reason- empty stomach=catastrophe
Time to enjoy !!!
Wishing you a very happy new year 2019 (^_^)
Cheers!!
