Hey Nerds,

It’s been awhile! I think maybe, just maybe, we have the mouse poop situation under control in our home. We’ve cleaned the spare bedroom AND the linen closet. Yup, the mouse made it into the damn linen closet! (Eek!)

With that, and my NP4L returning to the world of the working. I’m getting back in the saddle and back to posting!

We’re starting out easy and giving you a recap of all the unique beers enjoyed since we last posted. These beauties helped get me through some of the shittiest days of my recent life (get it? shittiest…). Let’s get caught up and then let’s get back to it.

Holy moly did we drink a lot of beer in October! I honestly didn’t think it was THAT many. At the beginning of our pandemic shelter in place, so mid-March, my goal was to hit my 1,000th unique beer on Untappd. I’m now up to 1117. It just goes to prove you can do anything you set your mind to…even pandemic drinking.

And with that, I bid all of you a good night. For my US readers, if you haven’t voted already, don’t forget to vote tomorrow!

Cheers,
Head Nerd
