One pleasant side effect of my Beer-a-Day project is hearing from the brewers whose beer I included. One such is Pyramid Breweries, who were so happy to see five of their beers in my list they sent me some tchotchkes:
I love the industrial-strength church key as well as the t-shirt for my wife. Very thoughtful. Thanks guys (especially Meech)!
Beer-a-Day #345 
Deep mahogany in color, our full-bodied winter warmer is brewed in the spirit of British winter ales. Crafted with a flurry of roasted chocolate and caramel malts, and generously hopped, it delivers a smooth finish that makes this beer the perfect cold weather companion.
‘Tis the season for the winter warmer. I expect I’ll be having a lot of them this month as I finish out my project.
Deep brown with gold highlights. Rich, slightly spicy aroma, almost like there’s a bit of cinnamon in there. Rich, slightly roasted flavor. That’s good; I’d gladly have that again.
Beer-a-Day #344 
Our hop heaping IPA is a golden nectar garnering thunderous reviews. Its floral aroma strikes a harmonious blend between a sweet malt flavor and bold hop bitterness. Enjoy this thirst quenching adventure.
A pretty light amber, clear with an ivory colored head. Pineapple and grapefruit aroma from the hops. Nice flavor with a pleasant bitterness that doesn’t kick you in the head. I’d gladly have that again.
Beer-a-Day #223
Our flavorful apricot ale boldly combines the taste and aroma of fresh apricot with the smooth finish of wheat malt. Its refreshingly unfiltered character and fruit flavor make it an ale worth savoring.
Clear orange with a white head. The apricot aroma fairly overpowers anything else. The taste has a similar issue. It’s not bad, but it’s just not beery enough.
Beer-a-Day #212
The standard by which all other wheat beers are judged. Our deliciously deranged American-Style Hefeweizen is an award winning take on this Bavarian classic. This refreshingly unfiltered wheat ale delivers a distinctively smooth flavor worth sharing with friends.
There were huge delays on the commuter train today, giving me the opportunity to stand around in 90+ degree heat for over an hour, to sit between two other hot and tired commuters for another hour-and-a-half, and to get home over two hours late. I deserve this beer.
Dark yellow with typical wheat haze. Banana and cloves in the aroma. A little bready in the flavor, but otherwise a nice, crisp hefeweizen. Refreshing. I’d gladly have this again.
Beer-a-Day #218
Nice deep amber color with a finger’s-width of head. Aroma has a bit of caramel and lemon candy. Medium body, with a bit of roastiness. I like it.
