Ho-ho-holy crap, I nearly died last night. Diamond Knot Brewing’s Industrial Ho-Ho, a spiced strong ale, was on tap at Bailey’s Tap Room where we stopped to toast our own Andrew Hay‘s virgin outing into the world of publishing (DotNetNuke Skinning and Design).
“Industrial Ho-Ho,” I muse to myself. “That sounds jolly.”
One beer and one hour later, I was weaving my bicycle around the dark, wet, crowded streets of Portland. I nearly hit a bus, ran over a curb, darted through the wet bog that is Waterfront Park, and hiccuped all 10 miles home.
Our art director, Ben, had two Industrial Ho-Ho pints. He woke up hung-over. However, it should probably be noted that he’s a vegetarian, and thus, a total lightweight.
Anyway, I highly recommend it. Best beer of the night by far, everyone agreed. Fairly light body, great maltiness, and, apparently, strong.

Just grabbed me a pint for my pre-Thanksgiving lunch at Oaks Bottom… quite tasty and a little buzz-ey for a mid-day beer.
