Getting Pregnant

I might not drink beer...

but I love shopping for it!

DH and his sister are really into craft beers. He decided last minute (as in last night) that he wanted to get her a beer related gift for Christmas. I suggested a 12 Days of Beer where the beers were (loosely) themed around the 12 Days of Christmas.

Remember, verrrry loose interpretations here...
1 - Dog Fish Piercing Pils (brewed with pear juice)
2 - Terrapin Moo-Hoo (going with the "turtle" in "turtle dove)
3 - Old Golden Hen
4 - Shiner White Wing
5 - Heavy Seas Gold
6 - Goose Island Sixth Day
7 - Boulevard Tank 7 (couldn't find anything swan)
8 - Lancaster Milk Stout
9 - Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin ' (it has a pinup girl on it)
10 - Brekenridge Regal
11 - Backpocket Penny Whistle
12 - Magic Hat Encore (picture of a rock band on it)

Not bad for a last minute effort! Oh, and Cricut users, what's up with the 12 days being out if order on the JoTS cartridge??

  • That's awesome!

    I don't drink beer either but DH is a ginormous beer snob, and I also love buying beer related things for him. For his 30th birthday in September, I bought him a kegerator. For Christmas this year, I'm making him a mug club for the basement. I've bought some shelves to display our millions of glasses, bought a bunch of new pint glasses and glass markers for people to decorate their own glass when they come over. I also bought a chalkboard which we'll write Vedo Mug Club on as well as what's on tap.

    Pregnancy was never the end goal; being a mom was.
    I've been holding out on GP: I got drunk once and started a blog: Here it is (11/7 update)

  • Thanks!  It was actually a lot of fun.  They probably thought we were crazy yelling at each other across the store...
    "DOES THIS LOOK LIKE A SWAN?!"
    "FIND ME SOMETHING WITH A DRUM ON IT!"
