    There is a good chance that there will be bottles available of the 2013 After x-mas/x-mas ale....The Mug Club members will get a chance to buy first (party opens to them at 12). At 2pm, its open to whoever wants them..There is a limit, which Im not sure of yet..But that limit is set to All people..Even mug club members..

    This years After X mas / Xmas ale is a Belgian spiced holiday ale aged in Buffalo Trace barrels - 9.3%..They are 22oz bottles..The other special releases are in the flyer above..They will have some of the regulars on tap as well..

    Im personally really pumped about the Cherry Cordial Night Fury that is brewed with Cherries and Cocoa nibs..Thats 10.3% fyi...

    If im not mistaken, (which I could be), Its a free event...

    Won't be able to make it to the event, but if you happen to grab some extra bottles, I'd be happy to trade for them in January when I'm in town.

    I believe it will only be 2 per person at the MOST...May only be 1...There are only 200 or so bottles this year....With that said, I dont believe they will sell all 200 in the first 2 hours...Just a guess though...But im excited by the draft list..

    I'd be interested in any bottles you may have to spare, not just the x-mas ale. Batch 200, CC Night Fury, BB FotD and BB Midnight Doedish intrigue me the most, but I'm happy to just try anything from them. And if you don't have anything extra, that's fine too. :slight_smile:

    Gonna miss out on this b/c I'm out of state for that whole Christmas thing. It was a tough choice bw Jesus's birth and a beer party. I'm just hoping there will still be some stuff on tap when I get back in town.

    Finally checked out Witch's Hat about 3 weeks ago and was impressed! Looks like I'll be stopping by for this! Will they be doing paddles for the offerings (I'm guessing not)?

    Also, last night after the 4 elf party, I stopped at Witchs hat and I got to try the Cherry Cordial Night Fury..I LOVED it...Just a fyi, they only made a real small batch of it so you might want to get there early to get this beer..

    If anyone was wondering the bottle details and what the after xmas/xmas ale was

    Date: 12/26/13
    Where: Outside, in the parking lot, in the heated tent
    Time: Mug Club Members can enter at NOON, Public can enter at 2PM
    Cost: $12/ 22oz bomber
    Limit: 2 per person
    200 bottles available for sale, once they are gone they are gone. Get here early to get a bottle!
    First 50 to buy bottles will get a FREE Limited Edition Anniversary Glass
    Style: Belgian Spiced Holiday ale, 9.4% ABV, aged in Buffalo Trace Bourbon Barrels for 3 months
    FAQ:
    Will it be on tap? Yes, inside and outside all day
    What does this beer taste like? This beautiful ale tastes like Christmas in a glass! Notes of sweet gingerbread, cinnamon, alcohol, clove and juniper. The barrel aging balanced these flavors and adds a hit of oak, bourbon and vanilla.
    Can I open my bottle at the brewery or in the tent? Yes, it is yours to do with as you please. This beer is great to drink fresh or age until next Christmas.
