Pancakes and Beer

1. You need to make the pancakes I talked about in the previous post. They were so so good. Especially when eaten with lots of bacon and coffee with eggnog. Can life get any better?
2. The only chance of life getting better is all of the delicious seasonal beer out these days. New Belgium's Giddy Up, Fort Collins Brewery's Big Shot, and Coopersmith's Jingle Ale are all really good. Big Shot is my favorite winter ale, it is perfect. It's actually a little hoppy (I don't like really hoppy beers like IPA's) but not too much. Jingle Ale wins the award for the most fun coming-out party. I went to Coopersmiths with Matt, Beth, Rob, and Kelty tonight for a pint and it is a very unique but tasty beer. It has cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and other odd spices that you would expect in banana bread but not beer. In addition to having $2.50 pints, they had a full bagpipe band with Irish dancing, and a brass band that played some holiday tunes. It was a great night!
