My wife and I are relaxing this weekend just enjoying ourselves — bike riding, hiking, sampling wines, beers, and fireworks … tonight, we’ve just been hanging around enjoying the beautiful weather.  We were sitting on our patio this evening — she drinking a gluten-free beer: Redbridge … and me drinking a beer from The Bruery: 2 Turtle Doves.

I’ll have more to say about the gluten-free beers in another post.

Oh, yeah, nothing like some nice popcorn to go with your beer! LOL!

As I said, my beer for tonight is The Bruery‘s 2 Turtle Doves.  They claim this is their Christmas beer — it’s pretty spicey!  It’s also loaded with alcohol: 12% ABV.  Since it is a Belgian strong-ale, I got out one of my Rochefort glasses to use when drinking it.  Is it good? Yes, actually, very good.  Because of the Alcohol content, you definitely have to sip this beer — but it’s wonderful … the spices (chocolate and pecans) really do help this brown ale.

Yep … a sippin’ beer but enjoying every drop!
