Sorry, I am arriving late to the party! However, this link to Michael Jackson's 1983 article in the Washington Post on pairing the Thanksgiving feast with various beers is timeless. As always Michael was way ahead of his time and wrote this when New Albion had closed and Sierra Nevada was a nascent brewery. http://www.beerhunter.com/documents/19133-001619.html

2014, and my clan and in-laws are very craft beer friendly: Highland 20th Anniversary American Saison Gulden Draak Orval Innis & Gunn Oloroso Cask New Glarus Pumpkin Pie Lust Schlafly Special Release Pumpkin Ale Lake Louie Maple Surple Terrapin Wake-n-Bake Coffee Oatmeal Imperial Stout I'm certain other nice ones will show up.

How could I forget my New Glarus Thumbprint Cran-bics? Gonna unleash those puppies on some unsuspecting palettes.

A couple of Elysian bombers (Punkichino and Night Owl), likely a couple fresh hoppy brews (maybe a Union Jack & Wookey Jack bombers?). I've got plenty of newbs to try but saving those for Friday tastings and random bottle shares. Probably.

Anderson Valley Highway 128 Blood Orange Gose (gose with everything) New Belgium Frambozen (raspberry delight) Oskar Blues Old Chub (it's become tradition) Deschutes Jubelale (to officially kick-off the holiday season)

Buffalo Bayou Cranberry Wit for a soft opening. Austin EastCiders wOriginal Pie Odell/NewBelgium Silver Clown Shoes Extremely Angry Beast Nogne #1 and of course: a good bit of Galveston Island brews... [:p]

Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving to all the pals. I'll be too tipsy and/or full to check in proper-like tomorrow.
