I have a lot to be thankful for this year. Beer is but a small footnote in the list of things I’m thankful for, but since I write a beer blog, I must include it here.

I’m thankful for a good job and the ability to provide for my family. I’m thankful for being able to do a job that I truly love. I’m thankful for the freedom to write about what I want and to be able to explore the world of craft beer.

I’m also thankful for good friends and their suggestions, encouragement and criticism when necessary.

In honor of that, here’s a couple of extra Thanksgiving tips from my good friend and fellow beer aficionado Chuck Slothower, who tends bar over at Beer at 6512.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, my good man. I like your Levitation suggestion. That beer has huge flavor for its low alcohol profile. And Mirror Pond is an old favorite. For Thanksgiving, I’m starting with Durango Dark Lager (not unlike Full Sail’s Session Black), followed by a Belgian sour (Duchesse de Bourgogne) to pair with the turkey, finished with a squirreled-away bottle of Black Butte XXI with dessert. Good health to you and yours!

Same to you Chuck, I’m inspired by your beer choices. Keep sharing the beer wisdom with us, your faithful followers.

Thanks to you, my readers. Without you, this would be very self indulgent.

Prost,

GG
