November didn't exist this year. No Knoll Street posts, no beers brewed. Actually, that second part isn't true. We brewed our September beer in November. November's beer will be brewed in December. Tomorrow, actually. December's beer will also be brewed tomorrow. Come on out. Have a beer. Brew with us. Now jump.
Now for the catching up. We brewed Gourdon, Jr. on 9/18. Gourdon, Jr. is Gourdon+. Extra everything. I've tried it. It's tasty.
