I will be writing a novel in November.  Yes, a novel.  For National Novel Writing Month.  That means that there will be fewer posts this month as I try to write words that are not “Hoppy”, “Effervescent”, “malty” and “redolent of pine”.  But fear not, there will be plenty to read this month and after Thanksgiving has passed and we can OFFICIALLY drink and talk about holiday ales, I will highlight one a day
