Wondering if anyone has had a a good one? Have not gone the Xmass themed beers, but did make a pile for customers including; * Pineapple Wit * Agricole Light Ale * Rum and Bourbon Chips Scotch Ale * Molasses Dark Ale * Session IPA * Really Big IPA (8%/6 gm/l dry hops) * Smoked Stout * Les dues Moines en Formation - Dark Belgian IPA type gig Setting up a Tiki Bar at home, hence the liberal use of things like Pineapple and Molasses ...
Nothing overly special. Got a Mikkeller BA George Cognac to go with the Christmas pud, Seven Sheds Stella for the turkey. And probably copious amounts of red wine.
A belgian or two will come out. Might crack my aged Narwoul or Feral Boris as well. Otherwise I have a super fresh stash of Weihenstephan pils and hefe (BB Sept 14), and various session beers (LCPA, LCBA, SNPA, etc).
Most likely just sparkling wine, although now I think about it could pull out a nice small-format BA beer for the dessert, maybe a Cognac George, St Ambroise RIS or Pannepot Reserva
Went cellar diving and selected Founder Breakfast Stout, 2012 Bigfoot, 3F Oude Geuze, Peche Mortel and DFH Palo Santo Marron

plenty of good brews in the fridge this week but tomorrow is xmas saison temple last drop sour cherry saison bridge road chevaliar dupont standard and dry hopped 2013 lost abbey carnevale fkn love xmas saison!!!
Temple are up and brewing again, or an old release? Seeing the mention, was wondering if things are back to normal (or as normal as can be ...)
Believe Temple are back and brewing however the saisons I have from them are old stock, picked them up on special the other month, 2 cartons for $50. Decent enough for that price.
