Nutcracker's Out

I don't mean to cause you to leave the house, but I'm sitting here drinking the first of many Nutcracker Ales (it's a Steve Decker) right now. It's in stores all across the metro.

Keeping up with our streak, we were the first to buy Nutcracker at our selected store, which was Jack's this year. Last year was Tipsy's.

Once again, my ode to Nutcracker.

With a name like Nutcracker

I didn't think I'd be a backer

Yet, I love thee so

I get pretty low

When you're no longer around

Our time together is so short

I never get bored

With your wonderful taste

that is caramel based

I drink with too much haste.

Ooh, Nutcracker I do love you

And you love me too

You treat me right

We never fight

Even when there's too many of you in a night.
