I ended up with more than 1 beer that was related to the winter solstice, so today I a had “Amorphous Solstice” from @locustlanecb. This was an imperial / double New England IPA (think hazy with a heavy dose of pineapple and citrus from the blizzard amounts of Idaho 7 hops.)
🍺☀️
As the winter solstice, marks the shortest day of the year and it will be a long 6 months before the summer solstice in June, at least each day will be a little bit longer than the one before. Something to look forward to after a long, hard 2020. Amorphous means without shape or form, so I guess that would describe the liquid form of beer pretty well – only contained by the glass or can. Here’s to drinking a little unformed winter sunshine in a glass!
