A Tribute to the Holidays

Koala Tribute was sampled for the first time tonight. Blair was unsure he would like this Lager style beer. Although it is much more suitable for brewing in the cooler winter temperatures, taste and drinkability rank high on his list.

Fortunately, we were both pleased with the way the Tribute is progressing. Full carbonation and a pleasant taste thus far. Definately ligher than our other creations, but still a colorful and only slightly hoppy concoction. I wish the JB were here to enjoy it's OZ smoothness. I expect the Koala to only get better in the coming weeks. Should be at it's peak around SuperBowl time, if you smell what I'm steppin' in.

Xmas went off without a hitch. It was celebrated at mi casa this year, with Dad, Liz, Becca, and Kyle in attendance.

Kyle awarded me a $3000 check hidden in a beer stein. It is the first payment from him reimursing me for monies lent him during his schooling.

Step-mom Liz and step-sister Becca.

My pa reveals some pepper beer-bread mix. It was definitely peppery, but not that good.

Kyle finds that he has been re-gifted some toilet paper.

This seemed totally appropriate, and matched the desired color scheme.
