For those of you looking for a slightly different "ale" for the New Year's celebration, consider sake. Wonderful, of course, with sushi (which doesn't have to be with fish, raw or cooked).Photo credit/Wikipedia, user: Tenmei, Title page of Bereiding van Sacki, by Isaac Titsingh: earliest explanation of the sake brewing process in a European language. Published in 1781, in Batavia, Dutch East Indies.
