    Lakefront Holiday Spice should be out soon too, and is moving to 4 packs apparently. Also another vote for Celebration, which is just as good as it is every year, and 2XMAS.

    Trader Joe's (Unibroue) Vintage Ale has to be one of the best bang-for-your-buck deals around.

    CCB smoked imperial stout is killer. It comes out in bombers in December.

    Brown Shugga is the ultimate holiday beer IMO.

    A couple of my favs are Rogue Santa's Private Reserves Ale and Schell's Snowstorm. Main reason for Schell's is because its a different beer every year. Firebrick by Schell's was one serveral years back.

    I still have a sixpack of last year's Anchor Christmas. I love the raisin spice flavor it had. Bummed they don't keep the same recipe.
