Day 5 and fatigue sets in. Can I really drink a beer for 24 straight days? What if I'm old? What if I get gout? Neverfear, at least for tonight I'm committed to writing about this beer which is Griswold's Winterbock (3.8/88/80) by Solace. I'll be the first to admit, I'm not a huge Christmas beer guy. I generally think they taste like a Tmave that someone dumped a Yankee candle in. However, this sucker drinks pretty smooth, and I dig the roasty, berry notes. I very much imagine this to be the fruit cake of beers.
After my movie recommendation last night, I need to get vulnerable with the 4.5 people who read this blog. I'm going to admit something, that I'm not proud of, and I'm not positive I've ever said out loud. Here it goes... I've never seen National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (71). It feels good to get it off my chest. I don't even have a great reason why. My family never was into the Vacation movies, and I never revisited when I got into high school. So while I know who Clark Griswold is, the only scene I truly know is the transcendent scene of Uncle Eddie emptying his RV on Christmas morning. To this day, I believe that one of the three acceptable responses to Merry Christmas, is, "Shitter was full!" Maybe after I watch Klaus this year, I'll take in this classis for the first time. Maybe... Meanwhile, enjoy Uncle Eddie.
