Favorite Christmas Beers?

I had the opportunity to sample this beer a few weeks ago when Deschutes held some events to introduce their beers here in West Michigan. Unfortunately, the Deschutes rep said that Jubelale will not be a part of the initial introduction. I liked this beer the best of the 5 that we sampled that day.

 

St bernardus and celebration for sure.
Hibernation ale I'll throw in as well
Need to try Mad Elf this year.

 

I like either Breckenridge Vanilla Porter or Highland Brewings Cold Mountain.

 

Need more love here for Delirium Noel and Dupont Avec Les Bon Veoux!

But I am also happy as can be with as much St Bernardus Christmas and Celebration as you want to give me.

 

Troeg's Mad Elf....I've had many hungover mornings after drinking this beer.

 

I alternate between SN Celebration and Deschutes Jubelale.

 

SN Celebration. Anchor Christmas is my favorite though I have yet to meet anyone who shares my view.

 

Belgian Christmas beer- almost all are delicious but st bernardus is first one I have every year. Odd year SN celebration, Hebrew jewbulation is always fantastic , not exactly Christmas beer but same time of year. Looking forward to seeing what local breweries do this year.
Cheers!

 

Anchor OSA.

 

St. Bernardus, Rochefort and Shiner.

 

My favorite and one I pick up every year would be celebration.

 

Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome.......

 

I buy every kind of Xmas beer in December. But my tradition has been to pick up Samuel Smith Winter Welcome, Delirium Tremens and N'Ice Chouffe for Xmas Eve.
But I'm sipping a Rochefort 10 right now and I think that is going to be my go-to beer for this Christmas Eve.

 

and

 

Mad Elf and Anchor Christmas.

 

For whatever reason it has become a wonderful tradition of ours to enjoy Tripel Karmeliet as a wintry, Christmas beer.

 

I always look forward to Great Lakes Christmas Ale. Has just a touch of spicing at the end which is perfect for me, any more spice and I'd pass on it.

 

I love Shiner Holiday Cheer. It sounds like I need to try Celebration.

 

Mad elf and 12 dogs

 

Shorts Juicy Tree....Christmas in a bottle with blue spruce tips, cranberries and juniper berries. Looks like it will be bottled and hit MI distro for the 2nd year in a row! And an obligatory X-Mas Day morning FBS of course.
