Loading ...As of today, I have over 60 different beers in my inventory. Most of them are taking up counter space — I need to find a better place to store these before I incur the wrath of my loving wife…
I’ll write more about how I’ve been acquiring my inventory. In fact, I’ll be posting the entire list online soon.

I am anxious to hear about all the damage this collection will cause.

So as long as you get a “Beer a day,” it doesn’t matter what size of beer, ey? I see a 22 or two in your collection.

I’ve decided that 22 ounces will be as large a beer as I can drink. If I get a 750ml bottle, then I have to share it — can’t drink that alone and still consider it one beer.

i got an interesting beer for Christmas, 12 Dogs of Christmas Ale, made with honey and spices, and 8.4% ABV. I was wary about the last part, but they pull it off. Father-in-Law brought a 6-pack over for Christmas. If you’re going to be in Indiana any time soon, I can save you one.

Winter and Christmas ales are almost an acquired taste, because of the spices. I have two bottles of a Christmas ale in my fridge from December — one for me, one for someone else. It’s an ESB and not a terribly spice laden brew. One the other hand, I have several bottles of Harpoon Winter Warmer — another acquired taste because of very STRONG spices — which I love. I thought I was going to drink all of my Harpoon Winter Warmer before this challenge began — I think I still have about 5 bottles left.
Posting my travel schedule might be a good idea. I’d love to meet up with readers and share beer — when I plan travel, I’ll announce it in advance. I don’t think I’ll be in Indiana anytime in the near future, but I have a trip to NYC coming up later this week if any New Yorkers are listening… :-)

While you’re traveling about see if you can find BJ’s Brewhouse (www.bjsbrewhouse.com). I know there’s one in Greenwood, Indiana but they’re in several other states, too. They have 7 beers always on draught, and they are stupendous, and a seasonal that lends a nice surprise every now and again.
Also, check out a Flying Saucer (www.beerknurd.com for locations) if you haven’t. They have these great dish-covered walls and over a hundred beers on draught and, I’m sure you know, any real brewery has a beer sampler…that’s perhaps 22 ounces TOTAL, so…any thoughts on that? Still cheating?

Good suggestions — in fact, you have me thinking I should create a discussion forum so readers can share their favorite brewpubs or brands. Give me a few days and I’ll work that up.
