Doppelbock....Errrrr..... Jolly Abbot Night

The tradition of "Dopplebock" night with the boys continued tonight, except instead of drinking Doppelbock, we drank Jolly Abbot beer. The reason for the switch in beer was simple: GI Brewing did not make the Doppelbock this year, but instead, they made the Jolly Abbot.

Our group has grown: 11 of us gathered at Heinz' place on 13th Ave. It was a cooooold night, about -10ish.

Not gonna say too much about the evening except that it was a good one. Heinz bbq'd some wicked chicken, and proved to be a very good host. There was a nice spread of finger-food, from cookies to spring rolls.

Conversation was good too. Had a chance to catch up with Eric, Paul, Mike, and Rudy. I invited them to my NYE party at the end of the month.

Oh and about the beer, the Jolly Abbot's better than the Doppelbock. Hopefully next year we'll have another "Jolly Abbot" night with the boys.
