This week’s Hop Press post is now up. As it’s nearly Christmas and I’m planning on opening a few nice beers to share with family and friends, the post is about the special bottles which are saved up for certain moments or special occasions and how the actual opening of these bottles becomes a real and tangible event.
I’ve written about my beer hoarding before and how I just buy bottles and squirrel them away waiting for an 'event' to warrant their opening. It’s left me with a nice looking beer cupboard, that’s for sure, but I really should get around to drinking them, because, after all, the opening of them is an event in itself (and the drinking is good fun too). I’ll definitely be opening a few nice ones over Christmas and New Year.
Here’s the full post.
Maybe I should make my New Year's Resolution: Just open the bloody bottle and drink the thing!

lol i keep saving bottles for special occasions but last night i thought bugger it and cracked open the JJJ while i was sat in front of the fire watching the snow come down - couldn't have been a more perfect moment.
ReplyDeletehaving said that i dont have the patience to age bottles, i would love to try it though, i would just worry that it would spoil lol
If you need a hand drinking some of your special bottles you know where i am!

ReplyDeleteGood plan.
PS. Sounds like you want to shag the beer, not drink it. (-:
