    I'll bitch plenty. I hate premature season pressure and hype. Each season and holiday have a unique feel and flair. We should ideally be given the opportunity to savor each one. I've railed against July pumpkin beers for a while, and honestly this is the first year I've seen obnoxious Christmas beer releases and indeed it's rubbish.

    Because Christmas beers are good
    And pumpkin beers aren't

    Wow, I thought they used the same recipe every year! I remember it being tasty last year but I agree, this year is nearly impeccable.

    Great minds! It's funny, because I never hear anyone complaining about seasonal IPAs. To each their own I suppose.

    The Jubel only comes out every 5 years, so far.

    Cheers!

    Ahhhhh I thought you meant Jubelale. Haven't tried Jubel yet, I'll have to keep my eyes peeled.

    I also found a spot that has leftover bottles of Mirror Mirror and Not The Stoic (sp?); Have you tried these and are they worth it? Reviews look great.

    We're not pissing and moaning because we're over it. It's nothing new, in fact it's almost a joke at this point

    Mirror Mirror is very tasty. I have a bottle of Not The Stoic sitting around.

    Cheers!

    Thanks for the tips

    Not sure if you get Ninkasi up in CO but Sleigh'r just came out and I almost bought some today. I think I'll have to go back tomorrow =)

    Cheers to you as well!

    We do get Ninkasi, but have not seen that one.

    Cheers!
