Your Favorite Holiday Beer?

this.

 

I partial to many winter warmers including Jubelale but right now, my favorite is Lake Superior Brewing's Old Man Winter Warmer.

 

Hm. Didn't realize Southern Tier released a 2X Xmas. (XXmas?) Given that I think 2XIPA is an under-the-rader value (when not sold at a major markup), I may just have to hunt this one down.

 

Corsendonk. Period.

 

They are thinking about making next year's batch without spices...

 

SN's Celebration
Great Lakes Christmas Ale
Avery's Old Jubilation Ale

Today was a new one for me, Southern Tier Krampus!
I know nothing about helles lagers, but this beer is really good, none the less!

 

Samichlaus for sure. I have a 2010 Samichlaus and a Samichlaus Helles I'm drinking on Christmas eve.

 

I will take all the Delirium Noel if no one else wants it!!

 

It is Sierra Nevada Celebration.

 

i'd hang on to it for a while longer. i've got a few 2007 sitting around, very worth the wait. Maltiest thing you'll ever drink haha

 

I just cannot enjoy Sly Fox Christmas releases... They do have some good beers I cant say that is of them tho .

 

I have two regular 2010's and two 2010 helles. Since I got the helles this year for the first time and haven't had it I wanna try them alongside each other.

 

Avery's Rumpkin just has to make this list. Its a rum barrel aged pumpkin beer, and is a superb winter warmer! (Just ignore that jack-o-lantern on the label).

 

For its Sam Adams Holiday Porter, this is after downing about 4 Troegs Perpetual IPAs on tap had a throw something different into the mix

 

I am counting down December with the 25 Beers of Christmas. Two bottles each of a winter seasonal, or holiday brew each night. I am also writing my first formal reviews starting with this brew endeavor. So, what are some of your favorite winter seasonal, or holiday type beers?

 

Tried great lakes Christmas ale that was good. Looking to get a gift for the boyfriend. Any ideas? Just no stouts please.

 

any beer that actually uses Christmas in the name- since that is why it exists.
