If you've been following my 6 Pack Project posts, you know that I matched up 6 of my homebrew recipes with my Colorado 6 pack list that I put together back in 2013.
As I was brewing beers in my Homebrew Colorado 6 pack, I noted that 3 out of the 6 beers no longer existed at their commercial breweries, so I was unable to compare my beers to the beers that they were meant to represent.
2020. What a year.
One side effect of staying at home so much in 2020 was that I brewed a lot of beer.
A ridiculous amount, really.
As I type this, the year is not over, but I am done brewing for the year.
And, as you may know, the Brewery likes to post quarterly updates on how much we have brewed. You can see all these updates (including the one you are reading right now) by following this link: Sheppy's Blog: Brew Stats.
In the 4th quarter of the year, I brewed 8 batches of beer:
SheppyBrew brewed 31 batches of beer in 2020.

Recently, I brewed Irregular Eric Double IPA ... the 5th beer in my Homebrew Colorado 6 pack.
Good stuff. If you're interested, you can read about my brew day at Irregular Eric Double IPA (Batch 273).
I designed Irregular Eric Double IPA as a tribute of Oskar Blue's Deviant Dale's IPA.
On the 1st of December, my wife brought home a Stone Brewing Company "Twelve Days of IPA's" 12 pack.
I thought this was a cool idea for a mixed 12 pack. I don't think I've ever seen one quite like this. You can have a different beer every day for 12 days.
Taking that line of thought a step farther ... \I thought it would be fun to drink a different beer a day until Christmas. Sort of an Advent calendar of drinking. I had almost half covered with Stone IPA's. I am sure I can come up with another 13 different beers to drink before Christmas.
So ...
