The Poojer Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 may need to think about ending my drinking hiatus.... http://draftmag.com/...s-of-christmas/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 http://draftmag.com/...s-of-christmas/ Wasn't on the list, but I was at the Sabres game last night and had a nice Goose Island IPA. I thought it was really good, very comparable to Dogfish Head 60 Min (one of my favs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Nice list. Great Lakes Christmas Ale is probably my favorite winter brew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Surprised Mad Elf not included. I only drink a couple per year, almost always after a big meal with desert. http://www.troegs.com/our_brews/mad_elf_ale.aspx 11% kick your butt pretty quick. Will have to try the Star Hill one...I like some, hate some of their beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaattMaann Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 the fact that this list excludes Sierra Nevada Celebration and Southern Tier 2XMAS makes this list a farce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Saranac used to sell a "12 Beers Of Christmas", it was an easy Christmas gift for my father each year. I don't think they've had it for several years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOBILLS78 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Where is Anderson Valley's Winter Solstice? That might be my favorite beer, period. Not only seasonal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I got a 12 pack the other day! It was excellent. Was it Christmas or Winter? Because they do have a 12 beers of winter, but those are different than what used to be the 12 beers of Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOBILLS78 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) do tell......never heard of it.... More here: https://avbc.com/our...e-seasonal-ale/ Anderson Valley is a California brewery. You should be able to get this at any specialty beer store. I wouldn't consider it uncommon or particularly difficult to get your hands on. Definitely worth a try, in my opinion. My favorite.

Because they do have a 12 beers of winter, but those are different than what used to be the 12 beers of Christmas. You're right. It is the 12 days of winter. It did have the christmas beer in it though. Very flavorful and good. I enjoyed it very much, especially since I had that particular beer on the first cold night of the year here.

Kevin Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Anderson Valleys a good brewery. I will be getting me some Winter Solstice soon.
