Yes, you read that correctly: I have decided that this month, Theme Week is going to be Cream Ale Week.

Why?

Maybe it’s a rebellion against all the super-high-end beers coming out these days. (Ironically written as I drink an Anchor Old Foghorn Barleywine.) Or maybe it’s a way of easing back into session beers after the holidays. (See previous parenthetical comment.) Or—most likely—it’s just a style that has me interested right now, and I want to take some time exploring it more.

Theme Week kicks off next Monday, the 18th.
