Some German Flavor for Thanksgiving

Since Adam can't be with us this Thanksgiving, I thought it would be appropriate to bring some local flavor from his new home to our own Thanksgiving Day. We've done this with every holiday since Adam left... we've brought food to our table from the area of the world in which he is currently living. 

On this Thanksgiving Day, I will be drinking a tasty Pilsner which was brewed in the Munich style!

Although this particular Pilsner beer, Idletyme, was brewed right here in Stowe, Vermont, it is a golden Pilsner beer in the Munich style so it is quite different than all the overly hoppy beer found here in the northeastern US. I prefer lighter, golden beers to darker, foamy, hoppy beer. That being said, I also love smooth dark porters as well.

I've never tasted this local brew but I'm looking forward to having a bit tomorrow as I finish preparing our Thanksgiving meal and socialize with some close friends.

Adam will be enjoying a Thanksgiving meal with co-workers. Many of my most memorable and favorite Thanksgivings were those spent with my Air Force family so I'm absolutely confident that Adam will enjoy himself right where he is with the family around him.

Now I need to get back to the sweet potatoes cooking in the oven before they burn. These sweet potatoes are for our Bourbon Glazed Yams tomorrow...
