    Cuvée Van De Keizer Blauw.

    I try to get at least a few bottles of this every year for Xmas dinner and to put away.

    Are breweries really releasing holiday brews already? Halloweens not even over yet!

    Fat Head's Holly Jolly Christmas Ale. I tried it the other day at the brewery and thought it was excellent.

    Jubelale, Insolation and Brrr, for sure. To be honest as well, Brrr is actually one of my faves, I know many may have reservations about Widmer Bros. But it has a good complexity of flavors.

    Hope you enjoy them!

    I'm sure I'm biased here based on my location, but I love Mad Elf.

    Granted it isn't like the general consensus is that it sucks or anything, but I'm guessing I like it more than your average beer drinker.

    Definitely looking forward to Alpha Klaus. One of my all time favorites is Yule Shoot Your Eye out from Karbach. Can't wait for that one!

    I'm probably gonna get a lot of heat for this one, but I actually enjoyed Rogue's Santa's Private Reserve Ale.

    Lat year I tried Holiday Spice Lager by Lakefront Brewing for the first time and I loved it. It supposedly has 11%abv, but you'd never know it from the taste.

    My personal yearly favorite tradition is Great Lakes Christmas though.

    I usually look forward to Anchor Christmas Ale and SN Celebration Ale. I was meaning to try St. Bernardus Christmas Ale last year but waited too long and was no longer available. I'll make sure to buy the St. Bernardus earlier this year.
