    I've had them all BUT the Goose Island and the best one is Sweetwater's Festive Ale. It's from Atlanta.
    I don't know how far it goes out, but it's the best. Even better than the Great Lakes. Breck. is pretty good too...

    It tells you that stealing copper makes a hell of a lot more sense than stealing something with a very limited demand that could potentially link you to the theft/break in.

    I would guess that copper brew equipment would actually be more linkable than the X-mas ale.... However the X-mas ale would be more Drinkable.

    So there in lies the question.... Linkable vs Drinkable? You decide~

    Chances are they have the means of melting it down themselves or at least a connection with someone who does. I feel like you wouldn't steal something like that if you didn't.

    I personally would of been all over the Christmas Ale if I was in there lol That stuff isn't cheap and I buy at least 2-3 six packs a year.

    Seriously...most overrated? Maybe most overhyped but it's f'ing delicious. You're right though, the hype is ridiculous. When grown men and women resort to religously checking the facebook pages of local groceries and and carryouts to find out when they're getting their shipment and then WAITING IN LINE BEFORE THE STORE OPENS to get it...you've got to be kidding. Go to work you morons. But I digress...

    1. Southern Tier 2XMAS
    2. Great Lakes
    3. Anchor Christmas
