Here we are… end of the month and New Year’s Eve! 🎉 For this last post of 31 days of beer, I am having “Belgian Quad” from @locustlanecb. This is a complex, dark strong ale loaded with malty flavors of dark fruits like raisins and tart cherry complemented by a hint of classic Belgian spiciness. They also added fig and plum to the mix making this the perfect brew for the long winter ahead! 😋

While 2020 was full of many things we’d rather forget (or at least get behind us), I’m grateful for family, friends, and yes, local craft breweries, that help us to get through it all. Here’s to hoping for a year that helps us all start to get back on the path to normal where we can all share a beer together and have a toast in person instead of zoom. I also look forward to the day when I can get back to Belgium and have one of these in that country again!
