Merry Christmas Beer Advocates

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Heading to a family Christmas get-together later, and I'm bringing a 6 of Avery Old Jubilation, a year old bottle of St. Bernardus Christmas Ale, and a 2009 Goose Island Christmas Ale (the big bottle).

Have a wonderful day!

 

Bell's Best Brown, 'cause I'm visiting my sister. She doesn't have a car, so that's the best I could find in the Safeway across the street. (And wishing supermarkets in TX had any Bell's...)

Merry Christmas, y'all!

 

Finally popped my Yule Shoot Your Eye Out!

 

Cheers! I'll be drinking a Rahr BBAWW and a Duvel Triple Hop today.

 

I'll probably drink.....

Hardywood GBS
Perrenial Abraxas

After that, I'm not sure, may break out the SA Utopias today as well.

 

Merry Christmas assho...., errrr BA's!!!

I've got a couple beer drinkers coming over later so...

GI madam rose
Surly smoke
La muerta
Central waters exodus

We'll see what else happens but I can't drink too much because of work tomorrow.

This was my first year to become more active on the site and it's been a great year beer wise for me. Met some really cool folks in person and just online. Great community here. Cheers, merry Christmas , happy New Years, hope you can take some time to remember why we celebrate the holidays, and be safe.

 

Yule Shoot Yer Eye Out was great (lookin' forward to the Fray-gee-lay I might be getting in the nigh future now). Just popped one of these. Actually better in the can than from draught, imho:



There might have been a bit of straight bourbon and egg nog in between. Yeah, I'm weirdly scheduled. We get our drink on EARLY round these parts!

 

Abraxas is soooo good!

 

Merry Christmas to the Texas BA's. I'm opening a '10 Ballast Victory at Sea for the main meal, with a Lost Abbey Gift of the Magi tonight.

 

It's going to be a long day, but I'll also be sharing all these with other Christmas guests.

Breakfast
Irish Coffee
Mimosa (the champagne kind)

Lunch
Cantillon Gueuze 2010'
Cantillon St Gilloise 12'
Fantome Saison

Dinner

Merry Christmas.

No beer.

 

Opened some Founders Breakfast Stout with my Dad and Brother In-Law during brunch, before that some Bloody Marries and Baily's and coffee. Its Christmas, much more drinking ahead, so taking it slow for the next few hours.

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

 

Funk Metal all day long!

 

Just taking it easy with Zombie Dust.....Happy Christmas everyone!

 

Rahr BBAWW for me too. Followed by a Jubelae or two. I'm saving my Funk Metal for New Year's. I have a buddy that will appreciate sharing with me.

 

Merry Christmas, gentlemen.

I'm recovering after a ridiculous night with my girlfriends family. Yesterday I had a 2012 Parabola, 2012 Bourbon County Brand Stout and a 2012 Pumpkinator before we left the house. We left with 2 Founders Dirty Bastards, Black Butte XXIV and Whiskey Rodeo but we only drank the Dirty Bastards because I was drunk and my girlfriend knew I would hate myself for drinking the Whiskey Rodeo while drunk and not remembering it. She actually (apparently) fought the bottle of Whiskey Rodeo out of my hands because I wanted to drink it, lmao.

Side note, the Pumpkinator not only holds its own against the BCBS and Parabola but was actually quite better than them. I am not even being a homer as BCBS has long been my favorite stout but I had never had it side by side with my other favorite, Pumpkinator. Parabola is a coffee bomb but it is amazing and my girlfriend wouldnt let me get much more than my one glass pour. It is so good to have a girlfriend with a good pallate and appreciates good beer.

 

It's Christmas..... Not April Fools.

 

I also had Parabola the other night. It's bourbony sweet coffe bomb, BCBS is boozy as hell, but Pumpkinator is probably the best.
