Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.  We savored a Schalfy Pale Ale beer brinded Turkey at our house using The Homebrew Chef Sean Paxton's recipe on http://www.homebrewchef.com/.  We also had some great beer.  I enjoyed a Sierra Nevada Celebraton Ale, my hombrewed Uncle Ron's Porter, a Yazoo Hop Project, and a New Belgium Abbey Ale.  Mrs. SEMO Craft Beer continued her obsession with Schalfy's Winter ESB.  What did everyone else have?
Cheers!
