    I pulled a bunch from the cellar but the two "traditions" I have are:
    Homebrew "westy"clone Quad xmas eve
    Fantome Noel Christmas Day - then my homebrew saison in the fermentor gets to enjoy the dregs of this bottle when I am done :wink:

    Fantome is my favorite "brewery" in the world, so its a nice little gift to myself :slight_smile:

    Probably crack a bomber of Longtrail Culmination on Christmas eve. FBS in the Morning, a few Sucks and some 'Gansett Lagers throughout the day.

    My mom is coming out this year and she wanted to try different hefeweizens so I have a bunch of locals. Also I still have a bottle of Clown Shoes Gengis Pecan I didn't get to drink at Thanksgiving.

    I don't enjoy family time so I will probably be sticking mostly to bourbon.

    I think I'm going for an All-Christmas theme this year....

    Crooked Stave Cranberry Vielle
    Lost Abbey Gift of the Magi
    Bruery 6 Geese-A-Layin
    Affligen Noel
    Fantome Noel
    N'ice Chouffe

    And if Santa brings me it - Karl Strauss' Four Scowling Owls (their 12 days series is the most underrated by a mile)
