The Poojer Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 may need to think about ending my drinking hiatus.... http://draftmag.com/...s-of-christmas/
Wooderson Posted November 20, 2013 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).
Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 Nice list. Great Lakes Christmas Ale is probably my favorite winter brew.
plenzmd1 Posted November 20, 2013 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.

PaattMaann Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 the fact that this list excludes Sierra Nevada Celebration and Southern Tier 2XMAS makes this list a farce
Just Jack Posted November 20, 2013 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.
GOBILLS78 Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 Where is Anderson Valley's Winter Solstice? That might be my favorite beer, period. Not only seasonal.

Just Jack Posted November 20, 2013 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.

GOBILLS78 Posted November 20, 2013 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 Posted November 20, 2013 Anderson Valleys a good brewery. I will be getting me some Winter Solstice soon. I just got Lagunitas' Brown Shuggaa and Sierra Nevadas Celebration. That and my free holiday case of hard liquor and I'm set for awhile.
