I missed the beginning of the Saturnalia Festival at the New Albanian Brewing Company/Rich O's Public House, but I still managed to get there in time for a real treat.

La Chouffe's N'Ice Chouffe


followed by a nice glass of NABC Hoptimus.

Just the thing I needed after an afternoon of X-mas shopping. And for those of you out there not quite done yet with your shopping yet, I have a request. Please...for the love of all that's holy...quit blocking the fucking aisle trying to decide if little Jimmy really needs that 14th Thomas the Train DVD and move to the side.....otherwise, I just might have to go postal and lay waste to all those around me with meat cleaver. And I won't feel a damn bit bad about it. I'm just about sure I can get a court to call it justifiable homicide.
