#beeradventcalendar day 16

I have never liked pecans or pecan pie so no surprise that I didn’t care for this. I wonder if the bourbon version might taste better with the oak chips. 3/5   View on Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CI4osfyHGbF/

I am glad to see this one as I really like it. The can size of 19.2 ounces is kind of odd though. View on Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CIhZ2VyngeJ/
