Friday

A beer blogger recommended this beer as a good New Years Eve drink. New Years Eve drink? What makes this a NYE drink? The warming cloak? I mean, I understand Halloween beers (the pumpkin) and Christmas beers (the spices) and maybe even Thanksgiving beers (back to pumpkin), but a New Years Eve beer? That's a bit trite, but no matter. I really dig the name: The Cloak of St. Martin.

Aside: If you haven't read Gheon's little book about St. Martin, you're missing out. It's excellent, one of the best saint biographies I've ever read.
