Snow piled up outside and we cracked open Ellicottville’s holiday variety to see what stuck. The “sugar cookie” ale promised vanilla and bakery warmth, but our palates landed on semi-sweet green tea with a syrupy hint, sparking a real talk about flavor names, expectations, and how seasonal beer labels set you up before the first sip. From there we mapped out our path to video: quick reels now, smart gear later, and a steady cadence built on honest reactions at the table rather than a perfect studio.
The nostalgia wave hit when we turned to MTV’s sign-off after 44 years. We relived the early music video years, the pivot to reality TV, and the moment YouTube made curation on-demand. That shift changed how artists break, how fans discover, and why short, searchable clips beat a cable slot. Music videos didn’t die—they moved to a platform where you can find exactly the song you want in seconds.
Redemption arrived with the Chocolate Cherry Bomb imperial stout at 8.2%. Big chocolate on the nose, a rich body, and a shy cherry note that flashes late before a dry, slightly bitter finish. We’d order a pint to try, but it’s not a case buy; still, it’s a solid winter sipper for stout fans. We also look ahead to St. Patrick’s season—Irish reds, dry stouts, and ambers—and swap Savannah stories: long parades, sip-and-stroll charm, and cobblestone history that makes a beer taste better in your hand.
