November on the interwebs (a beer related recap)

Happy December 1st everyone! November is finally over so we can stop giving thanks and start complaining again. Oh, and wear ugly sweaters. And hats. Hats are nice. Oh, and I'm sure you've all been on the edge of your seat about a beer-related recap for the month of November, so because I'm feeling especially giving this morning I suppose you can have one.

You don't deserve it though. Just like that hand-knitted Christmas sweater Auntie Margery made for you in the third grade. The green one with a pompom reindeer and googly eyes. You probably won't appreciate this either. Oh, and by the way, Auntie Margery and I have been hanging out. She told me all about that one Thanksgiving where you had a little too much sparkling wine and set the cat on fire by accident. You're on my naughty list.

Merry Christmas.

Some things I find mildly amusing:

• Growler car seats
• The Opportunist
• Superman loses a girlfriend
• Who uses the word "chalice"

Some things I'd like more if someone else made them for me:

• Hangover helpers
• Portuguese chicken and rice
• Dutch eggnog
• Mini monkey bread rolls
• Hot chocolate on a stick
• Beer battered asparagus
• Cheesy biscuit bombs

Stuff I read in November that didn't bore me to tears (but almost):

• Amber Waves (an art/beer exhibit)
• How big business is ruining beer
• Win a Nobel Peace Prize (and move next to a bar)
• Behind the scenes at New Glarus
• Small brewers force Big Beer to change it's ways 
• Barrel aging brewer leaving Goose Island
• 7 Myths About Storing Beer

Cheers!
