Brewskis While Skiing
This was originally meant to be a collection of brewskis consumed over the thirty days I got this season, but some were enjoyed off the slopes and felt worth saving, and I also forgot to record a few. So this is simply a post to commemorate some excellent brewskis from the 2024–2025 season...

Low-key, there is one special mention I have to make, because I would be committing a sin of the highest order if I didn’t record this pivotal moment. The most memorable beer, however, is the one I drank after I almost died. How I managed not to hit any trees or rocks while sliding headfirst at such speed, and over such a distance, is known only to the supreme brewer. In any case, calling it quits would have ruined my season, so we went back up. I stopped by the lodge for a draft brewski, and then we did it again.
