SHIPYARD BREWING CO. - SMASHED PUMPKIN Of course i was going to try a pumpkin beer on Thanksgiving.  Smell is heavy on malts, with a nice pumpkin smell with some light nutmeg. Not as much spice aroma as others in the style. Great flavor, lots of nutmeg up front with a nice malt background. The pumpkin is there but it doesnt overwhelm. Very well balanced beer with a really good mouthfeel that is not too sweet.  I think it got even better as it warmed. Very smooth for having a 9% ABV. Really good example of the style, will definately be on the look out for this one next year.

JASON BOOTS - LOOKING BACK AHEAD  How about a little Minnesota talent for my Thanksgiving day musical choice? Hails from Hastings, but i thought i heard he was actually born in my hometown, Alexandria. This is a fun little EP. I reallly enjoy every song. Nice little rocking party record. The bonus song is a fun little rap song he did in one take which is amazing as its about 5 minutes long with no breaks and at a pretty fast clip.
