So the holidays have come and gone. I reluctantly took down my Christmas tree on Saturday and have taken out the last of 2008’s recyclable bottles. 2009 is in full swing and I am eager to move forward in my professional life. With new job opportunities popping up, my fingers are crossed that January will be a good month. I’m also attempting to improve my own balance (physically) by taking up yoga. Believe me, my coordination and posture need all the help they can get. Still, I am not big on resolutions. The ones I’ve made, I’ve broken. I’ve just held onto the idea that I don’t need a new year to try to change my life for the better or to try new things.
But I think its time to make a resolution on behalf of brewnette. On New Years Eve, I attended a little get-together at my friends’ place (Mark and Wyatt know how to do NYE well – think karaoke, Harpoon Brown Ale and an intriguing game called 4 corners). When discussing our mutual love for Boston beer, they discovered that I had never been to the Sam Adams factory tour. This is particularly sad as I am a Sam fanatic, a beer blogger and I live within a mile of the factory…seriously, it’s walking distance. Unlike me, these guys are proud tour aficionados. They know how to make the most of the tour and of the tasting the follows. They are even exclusive participants of the brewery’s monthly tasting series.
I’ve been thinking about this for a bit now and I am resolving to take this Sam tour so I can tell you all about it. I will also go to the Harpoon tour for comparison purposes. Perhaps I’ll take these guys with me, to show me how it’s done. I’ll report back on this stuff sometime soon. Until then, enjoy the last few weeks that the winter/holiday-inspired beers will be readily available. Happy New Year! Cheers!

I like the sound of this resolution. You need to experience the chocolate bock!
