My wife persuaded me that we should spend the Christmas holiday in Montana this year. Since most of her family lives there in the Bitterroot valley, I can understand why. We usually spend it in Seattle. The tricky part is driving the whole family and the dog over several mountain passes. The weather in Seattle was already a little dicey with the hilly side streets mainly ice. We decided to leave on the Saturday before Christmas and take 2 days to get there. My son needed to attend his Tae Kwan Do promotion test that Saturday so we wouldn’t be able to leave until that afternoon. The weather forecast was 8 inches of snow that evening. We finally left Seattle at 2:00 PM. The conditions on Snoqualmie pass were reasonable and there weren’t many trucks about. We crossed the Columbia River and it was clear sailing until we reached Spokane which had 2 ½ feet of snow the day before.

Okay. It's still a little early but we can't resist product testing. The European Lager has been in the keg in my fridge now for at least 7 weeks. So today I pulled a complete pint to taste. Maybe it's the 90°heat here, but it was pure heaven. We also kegged the Australian Pale that we made last week. I did a little sampling of that as well and except for the fact that it's not carbonated, it is ready to drink now. It will improve with age however.
Cheers!!
