As 2017 comes to a close, the movie prestige season kicks into high gear with three of the year’s best finally making their way to movie theaters. Reviews of Call Me By Your Name, The Shape of Water, and Darkest Hour.

Over at Drink, I reviewed four of Odell‘s latest, dove into some Christmas ales, broke down the history of New England IPAs, and spoke with JoAnne Carilli-Stevenson and Shawn Donahue of White Labs Pure Yeast & Fermentation about beer’s magic ingredient.

And to close out every year, Boulder Weekly asks their writers to pen a personal essay about the past year. I wrote about about “Shoes on the Danube Bank” which can be found on the Pest side of the Danube River in Budapest, Hungary.
