Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate (or don’t). Quite a load of new things arrived during my trip to Pennsylvania for the Mom’s 60th Birthday Bash. A little respite from blogging has us refreshed and ready to go for New Year! A few new locals arrived in bottles from Asheville Brewing and French Broad, giving us loads more of our Asheville brews for folks to take home after vacationing in the mountains. And one extremely rare and special brew arrived from Scotland, Orkney’s Dark Island Reserve. Here’s the full line-up:
