\"\"Ten days in, two weeks left until Christmas, and that many more beers to go.\u00a0 So far, so good.\u00a0 I\u2019m at that point in my Christmas shopping where I\u2019ve gotten almost my entire list taken care of, but now I\u2019m where I feel like I haven\u2019t gotten enough for some people, and am kind of scrambling on trying to think of more things to get without breaking my back or my wallet.<\/span><\/p>\n

I also want to go out to some stores, but I hardly have time because of baby and pandemic, so I have to show some restraint.\u00a0 Besides, if I go to some stores, they\u2019re likely to be full of people who don\u2019t seem to grasp that we\u2019re still in the middle of a pandemic, but then again I\u2019m also wanting to go out and get some fairly frivolous things myself.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of pandemic, you\u2019d think the world were completely normal, based on how many fucking people were outside my home today.\u00a0 Surveyors from the county were in my neighborhood, my next door neighbor had landscapers tending to their neglected property for like two fucking hours, and then I had UPS, FedEx and the always last USPS coming and going all throughout the day, and whenever they\u2019re near my house, my fucking dog loses her shit, and this especially sucks when my child is down for her second nap of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why the fuck aren\u2019t people staying the fuck inside??<\/span><\/p>\n

I digress, because at this point it\u2019s pointless to even speculate, despite the fact that everyone already knows the answer to such redundant questions: because America sucks, and it makes me sad to acknowledge that, but it couldn\u2019t possibly be any truer to state.<\/span><\/p>\n

SO, I result in drinking in the evenings, not just because I have a goal in mind, working my way through 24 days of this advent calendar of beer, but because on days like today, it just seems appropriate to wind down the day with a nice cold one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Tradition by Herrnbr\u00e4u, is about as forgettable as they come.\u00a0 Classified as yet another new category, festbier, it makes me think it\u2019s supposedly supposed to mean \u201cfestival beer\u201d in which I guess it\u2019s not an inaccurate description of Tradition, because it is the kind of light-bodied, sort of short on flavor swill that would be made in huge batches to be enjoyed at festivals, but when the day is over, really is kind of forgettable.<\/span><\/p>\n

It tastes like a generic lager with a slightly metallic taste at the very end that I find a little off-putting, but because it\u2019s so light-bodied and not that over-flavored, it\u2019s easy to drink in heavy pulls, and finish fairly quickly and set myself up for a refill.\u00a0 This is an easy bier to get buzzed on as a result, and I drank mine fairly quickly because I started later than I normally like, and that it was easy to drink.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, I do not rate it very high because it\u2019s pretty forgettable in the grand spectrum of the beers that I\u2019ve drank so far, and I\u2019m hoping as the weekend approaches, there are some really good ones in the cache, and I would really tip my cap off to Costco or whomever put this together, if they actually paid attention to the calendar when establishing the lineup for this advent calendar.<\/span><\/p>\n
