    I'll be taking my annual stock up trip in the next couple of weekends - I always get:

    Anchor Christmas Ale
    ST Old Man Winter Ale
    ST 2XMAS
    SN Celebration
    Great Divide Hibernation
    Avery's Old Jubilation
    Founders Breakfast Stout
    Ports Santa's Little Helper
    ST Krampus - Always a tradition

    So stoked for the Holiday season!

    Anderson Valley's Winter Solstice is still the fav this time of year. Always good and not heavy handed on the hops.

    Adoration, yes! I also enjoy a Three Philosophers on Christmas Day as well.

    Also, a 1 year old Bigfoot is nice too

    Corsendonk Christmas is my go-to. Great Lakes Christmas Ale if i can find it around here.

    Had Thirsty Dog 12 Dogs last year. Didn't like it at all. Too much clove for me.

    If you need significant amount I will always put out Victory Storm King. Strange as it seems if I have just a few to share with a good sour.

    ="Valentno7, post: 2952094, member: 777977"]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![/QUOTE]
    Well I
    Well I see you are from Pa. So I suggest St Nickolas Bock and Nut Roll Ale from Penn Brewing. I have a case of each in the cellar. I also picked up a case of Great Lakes Christmas Ale. In search of 12 Dogs of Christmas from Thirsty Dog and my beer store just got Mad Elf in so looking at a case of that too! Christmas is a month long event right? :wink:
