Christmas & Beers.


______________

Over the last few days Dixon and me have bottled up some more home-brew; the Christmas batch! We have Christmas Reinbeer and Ginger Ale, and plenty of it. I thought they would look amazing with hand stamped labels. I didn't realise, however, that I would have to stamp around 100 labels. Ouch!! It took a while but it was worth it in the end, they look cute.  

I can't wait to taste them (the ginger ale is extra spicy, we used chilli!). They should be ready in a few weeks. I'm pretty excited to take them back to my parents house for everyone to try. We're having Christmas dinner at my brothers house this year so it'll be nice to take something for everyone.

ps. I have to give all the brewing credit to Dixon. I only help with the syphoning and labelling. He's a handsome genius.

      Ginger beer is pretty easy to make! Much easier then regulars beers etc! I hope my family enjoy it, the harshest critics!!

    my hubby brews as well, and that's about all the help I am too. :) Sometimes I help put the caps on, but he's the brew-master. These look great! Your stamp set is so cute.

    Ginger beer is my favourite!! If it is spicy, you should try it with vodka and lime juice. YUM.

      That sounds like a great idea! I was hoping to make ice cream floats with it, but it's definitely too spicy for that

    Chilli ginger ale sounds amazing! Looks good, and I love the reinbeer name. I can't wait to try home brewing myself when I go home.
