'Tis the Season

Happy Holidays.  The CBEOfficial is hoping that you are enjoying the CBE5.1, some colder weather (finally,) and with it some Winter Seasonals.  Figured it was time to drop a few updates, as well as a great idea by one of our members.

First and foremost, in the "what have you done for me lately category," great job by @pppantalones on Twitter last night.  He crushed the Boulder Brewing Co event at Misconduct, met a kind of real life munchkin, and also bumped into a founding father.  Going through a flight must have been pretty fantastic with a Cantaloupe Wheat, a Grapefruit IPA (which went well with fries and ketchup,) and a personal favorite of mine the Hazed and Infused.  More of us should be following your example of general Twitter ridiculousness.  By the way, sorry about that whole Pujols to the Angels thingy.  We were all really pulling for you.

Secondly, a great idea was dropped on the editor's desk this morning from @G_o_o_d_y.  In a stroke of pure genius, he came up with the idea for a CBE Secret Santa.  The recommended value of the present would be about 20 dollars.  Items could range from six-packs, large format bottles, gift packs with glasses, pretty much anything to do with beer.  Please contact @TheCBEOfficial if you want in, and once we have the total number of participants, we will pick names out of a hat.

Finally, with the Holidays coming up pretty quickly, I wanted to drum up interest in a CBE6 over the next two weeks.  It's pretty important to have good beer around the house over the Holidays, because there's nothing better to drown out the noise of bothersome friends and family... share with loved ones.  Please let me know if you are interested, and let's throw out some dates for our big return to Brewers Outlet.

Again, if you have interest in authoring some posts, just send me your gmail address, and I will send the invite out.
