    I'm looking to try some new Xmas beers, or beers that are usually indulged in during Xmas...I have already had 2XXMAS, Mad Elf, Winter Wunder, Harpoon Winter Warmer, Great Lakes Christmas Ale, St Bernardus...and a few more, even though I plan on picking these up again, I really want to get my hands on some new stuff...any suggestions would be great!

    Look for some Mother Earths, Silent Night. It's a BA stout.

    I normally enjoy a good sour or two with dinner, and while I prepare it. Then I move to a Silent Night as we sit around enjoying the company of everyone, and the kids with a fire.

    Doesn't always have to be a winter/christmas beer, just something that marks an enjoyable moment.

    I'm sitting here with a Grand Teton Coming Home 2014, which I will recommend.

    Yeah, I like stouts around that time of year, last year I had Oak Aged Yeti and He'Brew the Jubilation Reborn, thanks for the tip!

    Chimay Bleu does the trick for me.

    There's also Delirium Noel

    I think Sam Adams Old Fezziwig is worth the price of mixed 12

    If you like the Great Lakes, I actually think Thirsty Dog's 12 Dogs of Christmas is a little better. Splitting hairs with a lot of people though.

    Besides my go-to's (St. Bernardus, Corsedonk, Gouden Carolus, Delirium Noel), I noticed Kasteel Winter was out. Had it last summer, and it was great then. Gotta be tasty on a chilly winter evening. Recommended.

    Sam Adams Merry Mischief is always a good one.

    Good question. This beer is sold as 4-packs or as singles (not in the singles section) at my local store because it's kind of pricey at around $9 per bottle, so maybe there's hope for you in PA to get a single.

    Interesting I know a store that might have it, but I don't like to go there because the people who work for the guy are extremely rude...I'll check it out

    Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale is a great IPA that is out right now. But my favorite winter warmer is Dark Horse 4 Elf.
