12/24/24: HighGrain Brewing's Pho King Christmas Ale
We've nearly made it! My presents are wrapped and, as soon as my kid goes to sleep, they'll be placed beneath the tree. Santa's bringing someone an orange monster truck, fulfilling a Christmas wish.

I have a beer post yet to write and some music to enjoy. I suggest you get your favorite Christmas album spinning and settle in for tonight's beer: Urban Artifact's Sugar Plum. Urban Artifact ( here's a link to their "Our Story" page ) a brewery operating out of a defunct church in Cincinnati, OH's Northside neighborhood. They were founded in 2015 and specialize in sour ales, forging the path of the now-heralded (in certain circles, at least) Midwest Fruit Tart. They also pioneered the pickle beer. I can't find where Sugar Plum might live on Urban Artifact's website, so to Untappd we go ! This lists the 7.2% ABV fruit beer as being brewed with plum, vanilla, and spice. How does it compare to
