    Anchor Steam's Christmas Ale and Pike Peak Brewery's AdaMan.

    Also, anything holiday-ish from Nøgne Ø and To Øl...

    Not gonna lie, always look forward to Old Fezziwig and the Holiday Porter, and couldn't be more pissed that Sam axed Holiday Porter this year :angry:! Aside from that, Bruery's 12 Day line, Anchor, Trader Joe's Vintage!!! :grimacing:, Jubelale. More importantly, I just love cracking all those stouts and porters I've been waiting for the weather to get cold enough to enjoy them at the fullest! Cheers and Happy Holidays BA's!

    Maybe hibernation counts as a Christmas beer, but I've never considered it one.

    I didn't think about this being a Christmas beer since I drink them after they age, so it's a Thanksgiving beer for me. I guess this would double as my favorite Christmas beer too though!

    My holiday season doesn't kick off until I have a sixer of Mad Elf lol. I also look forward to SN Celebration and Winter Storm by Heavy Seas.

    Celebration, Xocoveza, and Death by Coconut are three 4/6pk format beers I look forward to every year. I've already gone through about a case of each. I usually pick up one 6pk of Anchor Christmas as tradition as well. There's also TONS of rare releases that usually see distro this time of year as well, but I won't get into all of that.

    Also, almost forgot! Hardywood Gingerbread Stout. I freaking love that beer. It IS Christmas. I'd love to get my hands on some of the barrel aged versions, but the regular one suits me just fine.

    I have wanted to try Old Fezziwig for a long time and I got some this year. I haven't tried it yet but am really looking forward to it. I also have a bottle of St Bernardus Christmas Ale which I can't wait to crack open.

    I'm not the biggest fan of the winter warmer style. On X-mas day I'll probably just crack my final bottle of HF saison that I brought back from Vermont from my September trip and watch the Ravens / Steelers battle for 1st place in the North and playoffs are on the line.
