Quick note: Dark Humor from Ithaca Brewing taps tonight. Just a little reward for clicking on the post…

If I was more clever, I would write out a Thanksgiving parody of The Night Before Christmas for this post. But I’m not, so I won’t. I’m not big on sacrilege anyway.

The night before Thanksgiving has traditionally been a big party night for a lot of people. I don’t really get that. Why would you want to party the night before the one day of the year where indolence and gluttony are expected and encouraged?

Well, ChurchKey’s draft lineup for tomorrow night explains why some of you will be out into the wee hours tomorrow night. It’ll take you that long to taste all of the special beers that they’re putting on. Whether it’s Christmas beers, rare one-offs, new brews, or local casks, there’s a little something for everybody here.

Here’s a rundown:

Don’t have too much fun. Remember, you’ve got to eat 10 pounds of turkey the next day. No one likes a hangover when they’re eating turkey.
