That’s ok, we can make you learn to love us all over again. And to do that I am going to give you 2 new video’s this week.  Just count them, 1, 2.  What I have for you today is a taste of Samichlaus Bier, a true treat that we were lucky enough to get a bottle of. and just so you can get a complete mental taste of it, both Paul and I gave it a try and decided to tell you all about it.

Cryptic Review

The P Stew

You may have noticed, that we have been gone for a little bit.  Do not fret, we have not abandoned you, loyal Beer Buddies!  We are preparing for our triumphant return, and since there cannot be a triumphant return without a triumphant absence, we have decided to take one for the team and take a triumphant break in order to be more triumphantly prepared for that return I mentioned earlier. But I am triumphantly breaking from our triumphant break to bring to your attention a truly triumphant cause.  This Week in Beer has joined the Crunchy’s Restaurant team for the 2010 Polar Plunge to benefit the Special Olympics.  That is right, we have decided to triumphantly sacrifice our comfort and warmth to raise money for the Michigan Special Olympics.  Last year we were triumphant in raising the most money , and we plan to be triumphant again.  If you would like to support us in our dive into the frozen waters of Mid Michigan and help to raise money for this triumphant cause please visit either Kristoffer’s or Paul’s fund-raising site. You can pick whoever is your favorite, and although it is certainly not a competition between Paul and Kristoffer, if you pick Kristoffer’s, you will be much more triumphant.

A birdie just told me that Bells Brewery is once again a member of the Michigan Brewers Guild. Fantastic News. We will be bringing you more information on this soon.

No video this week, just a wish for you to have a pleasant holiday season and a happy new year. Drink beer. Stay safe.
