Tonight I am taking a short break from cocktails and enjoying a lovely stout (“Santa’s Cookies”) brewed right here in my hometown of Charlottesville, Virginia, by Champion Brewing.

I admit, the cute and seasonal name attracted me to this beer originally, but then I sampled a pint–it is yummy. So Husband and I purchased multiple cans to give away as gifts. We also purchased Virginia peanuts, Virginia maple syrup, Virginia jams, Virginia wines, Virginia rum, and more Virginia beers–you get the picture–because we wanted to support our local economy. So far, no complaints from the gift recipients.

Shop local, support small businesses and restaurants, and tip generously.
