Beer #21 from the advent calendar is one that was specially brewed for Bottles & Cans -- the beer shoppe who put these here calendars out. It's made by local brewery, Hopwell, and it's aptly titled One Night Only. It's a "dry-hopped pilsner," which is a fancy way of saying it's a pilsner that's kind of ruined. I tend to hate when breweries make a hoppy beer out of something that shouldn't be hoppy. One Night Only wasn't actually as hoppy as I expected, but I still would have liked it better if was less hoppy. To be fair, that's what I think about pretty much every beer above 20 IBU.
