My Christmas Haul

I already have too much dang stuff, so my Christmas list this year was short. Homebrew gear is always appreciated, but I'm particular about the things I want. Then there's all the things I want but don't need yet; The keezer build isn't happening until summer. The list wasn't much more than suggestions for places to get gift certificates.

Santa (with help from Mom, Dad and Mrs. Zym) brought me all of this:

The photogenic pieces of my Christmas
beer-related gifts

• Goodnight Brew, a beer-themed parody of Goodnight Moon
• A bottle of Imperial Brown IPA, a collaboration between Heavy Seas and Stone [review coming soon]
• A beer mug ornament
• A gift certificate to NorCal Brewing Solutions (not pictured)
• A gift card to MyLHBS in Seven Corners (thoughtfully packaged with a branded keg-shaped glass and some hop-flavored candy - nice work Derek and staff!)

I spread my homebrew spending around a number of shops, but I specifically asked for NorCal since they have some nifty-looking Spiedel fermenter accessories. MyLHBS is my local go-to.

So Merry Christmas / Hanukkah / Festivus / Saturnalia / Kwanzaa / late December and here's to full kettles and kegs in 2017!
