    I drink schlafly Christmas. Spiced beers are my thing Fall through New Years. Of course big stouts are always on the list. Trying to get more prairie pirate bomb and bible belt from a friend of mine.

    SN Celebration, Alpha Klaus, Boulevard Nutcracker, Great Lakes Christmas and it's not really a Christmas beer but New Glarus Snowshoe comes out around the holiday season and it's one of my favorites of theirs.

    While I mostly look forward to SN Celebration, there's a part of me that also seeks Double Bastard this time of year.

    Also really like the recent addition of Born Yesterday...keep that stuff coming annually!

    Great Lakes Christmas was in the store yesterday when I went in which surprised me. I went through a 6 pack over the course of last night and tonight. Pretty much as good as I remembered.

    I fall in line with a lot of what was mentioned...Celebration, Fezzi, Holiday Porter (they better bring it back), Anchor Christmas...but two I discovered last winter that do not get a lot of hype are Full Sail Wassail and Widmer Brrr

    Hardywood Park Gingerbread Stout, Mad Elf, Celebration and Samuel Smith Welcome Ale. My Thanksgiving Day beer to set off the season right has been a year old Hardywood Bourbon Barrel Gingerbread Stout for last two years maybe? Will be once again this year.

    SN Celebration is always a good warm up to the season, but it's not truly Christmas to me until I have some Great Lakes Christmas Ale and Thirsty Dog 12 Dogs of Christmas.

    Always have a bottle or two of Lindemanns Framboise on Christmas Eve/Day

    Celebration is also a staple in the fridge during holiday time

    Not really Christmas beers but I really like FFF seasonal releases like alpha klaus and behemoth. I'm looking forward to trying BCSBBW

    Love me some Christmas beers. Anchor is a staple. Celebration, Old Fezziwig and Great lakes are strong contenders.

    Not sure if they still make it, but Lakefront Holiday Spice was my jam for a few years. Schlafly's is close.
