I just love Sheridan! We got it the last time we were coming across the border from Canada into the US. For some reason, the only place we can find it is at customs...I don't know why. But it is decadently delicious!

I'm a high-octane Pepsi fan. That being said, I'm drinking mostly diet Mt Dew, unfortunately...easier on the calories right now.

A local PA (in Harrisburg) brewer makes Mad Elf ale, brewed with cherries, spices, and honey. A co-worker and I split a case as it's about $55 per case. Good stuff! I drank a couple on Christmas Eve. It's only seasonal and we're having a hard time finding any more right now.

For Christmas dinner, we opened a bottle of Rascal Red (from Shade Mountain, a local winery); DH likes a sweeter wine and he loves this Red. My in-laws thought it was delicious, too. DH and I bought a bottle of Three Witches sparkling wine to share on New Year's Eve and another bottle for my sister and BIL.

I like different drinks at different times. I love a good glass of wine with dinner, love Screwdrivers and in the summer enjoy a good strong Tom Collins. Years ago I didn't drink anything except Scotch and water. I love Sangria and usually order that when we go to a Mexican restaurant. I occasionally enjoy a cold beer in the summer.

I love Mad Elf!! My mom bought a case of it this year, so I had a few when I was visiting PA a few weeks ago. I used to buy a case of it and put some of them in the basement. That is definitely a beer that gets better (more mellow/less harsh) with age. I think I still have a few in my stash from 4-5 years ago in her basement actually!

OMGosh, what are the odds? Alas, we are having a hard time finding any at this point. We decided that, next year, we are going to start calling around in mid-November and buy a couple cases. I love the stuff. I gave a bottle to my sister and she tried it. Now she wants some for next year, too.

Right now I am drinking Green Mountain Rainforest Nut coffee.

On a regular day I drink flavored seltzers. As far as alcoholic, I like red wines in the winter - cabernet, merlot, malbec, carmenere, etc. White wines in the summer, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, pinot grigio, etc. Margaritas, cosmos, lemondrop martinis, etc. I made some yummy apple cider martinis for Thanksgiving.

My husband is all about craft beers. We have enough right now to open a store.
He also brews his own. I don't drink beer.

BF and I don't homebrew, but we are big into craft beers, US and Belgian mostly. Our 'linen' closet is the beer cellar, and half our fridge is beer.
So I totally understand about the lots of beer thing.
