Drinking Socially - Ep. 65: Xmas Beers & Season 2 Recap
What We’re Drinking
Christmas Ale by Great Lakes Brewing
- ABV: 7.5%
- IBU: N/A
- Notes: A holiday ale brewed with honey and spiced with fresh ginger and cinnamon.
- At one point it outsold Budweiser in the state of Ohio during the month of December!
Gingerbread Stout by Hardywood Park Craft Brewery
- ABV: 9.2%
- IBU: 55
- Notes: Brewed with baby ginger from Casselmonte Farm and wildflower honey from Bearer Farms, Hardywood Gingerbread Stout captures the terroir of central Virginia in a rich, creamy libation with a velvety mouthfeel and an intriguing evolution of flavors from milk chocolate and vanilla to honeycomb and cinnamon to a snap of ginger in the finish
- The only time Jon ever gets this beer is when his Virginia friend comes by for Xmas and remembers that Jon loves this beer.

Untappd Update
- Version 3.4.9
- In our opinion, this may be the biggest Untappd update of 2019!
- Floating Action Button:
- Untappd listens to user feedback. To make the check-in process easier for Untappd users (especially new users) we implemented a Floating Action Button (commonly referred to as FAB) that sits nicely on the main tabs within the app. We love this new feature!
- Updated Profile Histogram
- Based on feedback we received from our 3.4.8 release, we have made improvements to the profile histogram to bring back a more individualized visual representation of a users breakdown of beer ratings.
- Updated Tab Bar Icons with Text
- To make the app more easy to understand, we have changed the tab bar to include new icons and wording below them.
