Winter Hook Winter Ale watches David's legos and helps me vanquish my online enemies (who are probably teenage kids)

David had his beer at Library Alehouse so I'm absorbing one of his gifts from his Washington trip, the Winter Hook ale from Red Hook. It's a solid Christmas ale with a lil' spice, lil' hop, and lil' caramel malt. Put them together and you get a TRANSFORMERS rating. Or a Lego Star Wars set. YEP

Merry Christmas to David, from David

As I destroy people in Call of Duty Black Ops, alternating between the Gun Game/Sticks and Stones Wager Match, I realize it's been a while since I imbibed a Red Hook and I'm quite happy about being reintroduced to them. Red Hook ESB changed my life and now Mr. Hook has caught my attention again. I'm looking forward to the next brew from them.

Btw, this Wager Match is incredibly addicting. Do you realize these people are geniuses? They designed an entertainment platform that combines gaming and gambling, the two greatest addictions ever (outside of drugs and cookies). If David and I weren't so cool and social, a serious problem could definitely develop that requires intervention (says Walker as he stares pas his Shark Slippers at David who is building Star Wars Legos with the focus of a Zen master).
