First post of 2010

I've been lacking in my attention to this blog lately. My parents came down from Canada to celebrate the holidays with us, so I haven't had as much free time lately for regular updates. Although, I have been posting messages and photos using Twitter as I worked my way through my stock of holiday beers. However, I received so many beers as gifts this year that the amount of beer in my cellar has actually increased (to my wife's dismay). The bitter cold weather that we're continuing to experience has certainly been great for drinking the various stouts, porters and other strong ales that I've been saving though.
