Day 22 -Six Mile Bridge
On Thursday, December 22nd I opened Six Mile Bridge, which is an Irish Red Ale. At 5.5% alcohol, it drinks very smooth and is one added to my favorites. Definitely worth a try! It has slight flavors of toffee and caramel. My sisters shot of the day is pinnacle whipped vodka.

On Saturday, December 17th I opened Celebrator from Ayinger Brewery. This is a Bavarian Double Bock beer and tastes really good – it has definitely been added to the favorites! Kristen’s shot of the day Sweet Retreat Peach Cobbler – I did end up getting to taste this one as well and it was OK.
Day 16 – Backwoods Bastard
Friday, December 16th I opened Founder’s Backwoods Bastard beer. This ale is aged in oak bourbon barrels and tastes amazing. If you have not tried this beer yet, I would highly recommend it.
