Bells pouring in IL and a very cool beer cellar

This week was a fun week. I had my birthday at the lodge as all of you know. The food there is just awesome. Also I picked up a Kwak gift pack and had lots of fun trying to figure out how to beer and drink the beer with that glass. After a fashion I was able to figure it out. I suggest you pick on up and try it for yourself.

I really wish I had some more beer news for you but I have been very bsuy this week with Xmas shopping and all that fun of the holidays.
Let me give you the links and stuff before I give a bit of news that I read the other day.
