Beer Advent 2024 Day 4: Three Floyd's Alpha Klaus

My speculation yesterday that today's beer would not be a hazy was in fact correct.  Today we have Three Floyd's Alpha Klaus (3.82/92/99).  This "cousin" of Alpha King is a mega hoppy, mega roasty porter.  Despite having tons of chocolate and barley notes, this beer isn't heavy.  In fact, it's damn near quaffable and at 7.3% it does not suggest imminent death if you get deep into a six pack.  The ideal time for this beer is when you decide to grill steaks in 37 degree weather and need a beer to keep you toasty next to the grill.  As the high in DC today was roughly 44 degrees, it was a good day for this beer.

I'm going to make a rough transition here, and jump to a movie recommendation.  (In a minute, you'll understand why, so bear with me....)  I assume that people who read this blog have kids, and since the only page views come from my friends, I think it's a mega safe assumption.  Now every December you likely watch Rudolph, Frosty, and maybe Santa Clause is Comin' to Town with Burgermeister Meisterburger (comedy gold in the name alone).  I've got a new classic to add and it is Klaus (95) on Netflix.  It's an amazing twist on the Santa origin story, and one where Santa is kind of a bad ass.  Kids will love the animation, parents will love a truly unique and new story.  Give it a while while drinking some Alpha Klaus (now you get it....).  Until tomorrow folks:)
