    I think St. Bernardus Christmas Ale is the best beer on the planet. Christmas or no Christmas.

    I have not tried this one but I've had several others rave about this brew. I've seen it around on shelves rest of the year and probably should grab a few to hold onto since its a big brew that holds with age just fine.

    I'm surprised we don't hear as much about their Christmas beer. I don't think it's as good as the pumpkin, but it is really solid still.

    If a spiced beer is your thing for a Christmas beer, I think Lakefront's Holiday Spice Lager has the right combo of whatever spices that they use. It's not highly rated here on BA, but I think that's a mistake.

    I look forward to Abita's annual offering. Usually very solid and drinkable.

    St Bernardus. I try to stay two years ahead so they have a little time on them and they are even better.

    Living near Troegs might make me biased, but I've always loved Mad Elf.

    Just tapped the keg of Celebration last night so I can't wait to imbibe in that after work today.

    Along with that, I keep these in rotation:

    Anchor's Christmas Ale
    ST Old Man Winter Ale
    Avery Old Jubilation
    Old Fezziwig
    Holiday Porter
    ST Krampus
    Great Divide Hibernation

    For the rest of the Winter, I can't leave out Bigfoot

    Received this as a gift last Christmas and since I managed to sit on it this long, I'm going to see if I can make it to December 25. It was bottled last July so I'm excited to try it. Still have 2 Brown Shuggas and 4 Mad Elfs from last year too. Love this time of year just for the stouts alone.
