    I went a little overboard at home this year and made three of them.

    n'ice chouffe- but most of the time, I put some in the cellar and enjoy old ones from my cellar during the christmas days. This one that ages very nicely.

    Of course I love Celebration and yes I am sorry to marvel at this, but this year I found Celebration that was dated within a month of when I bough it! Wow! So it is possible to get fresh beer in this state!

    I did have a co-worker go to Grand Teton Brewing and snag me a bottle of their Coming Home which I am excited to try!

    Just started building my seasonal beer schedule this year, and this December I got Schlafly Christmas Ale, which is godly, Shiner Holiday Cheer, which was a mistake, and then after trying it at my local bar, I absolutely had to go out and get Sierra Nevada Celebration. I also got a pick six pack with various things in it including Abita Christmas, New Belgium Accumulation, and some stouts and things. I still can't believe Celebration works as a holiday beer; apparently caramel malts and that deep red color are all it takes.

    After lots of Celebration, some Xocoveza and FBS are a nice change of pace with the occasional Double Bastard.

    Celebration and Xocoveza.

    If the Arrogant Bastard 4 pack returns....then add Oaked Arrogant Bastard to the list! I have been wanting it since last Christmas!

    It was the star of the Bastard Box for sure!

    Does any fall or winter seasonal count as a holiday beer?

    Sam Adams Merrymaker Gingerbread Stout. First had it last year, not available this year. I'm not really a fan of gingerbread cookies or Sam Adams, but love this beer.

    Alpha Klaus always makes me happy. Wasn't going to buy it this year, because I've been protesting bombers for some time. However, this discussion was my tipping point.
    After I drink that, will have a Xocoveza for dessert.
    Merry Merry.
