Fall Beer Update

The days of fall are passing, and it's getting colder. And that's fine, because to stay warm I am opting to drink more beer and use less oil this year. Actually if you do the math on this you end up needing to drink absolutely punishingly horrible beer for this to make financial sense. But who cares.

In truth I must admit that the Woodstock Inn fallT liquor is growing on me. It took a big dent in the 6er to come around, but I think I am a fan at this point. I am moving from 'recommend' to 'strong buy' on that commodity.

So as we get into October, we're all finding ourselves in the same boat with Pumpkinhead. We've sort of moved on from it for the time being, still holding it in our hearts somewhere, maybe a little burned out of it, might get back to it when the season wraps up. Alright to be honest, you can't get drunk on this beer and it's the fall. Alcohol is your only weapon against seasonal affective disorder.

I have been offered this concoction several times, but Friday night was the first time I caved in and tried it. Pumpkinhead + shot of Vanilla Stolichnaya Vodka + frivolous cinnamon sugar rimmed glass. Say what you will about it on paper, but I have to say, this is money in the bank. Technically it's about $7 money out of bank, hair splitter, who cares. If you drink two of these I guarantee you will run for president or solve a crime.
