    Delirium Noel is fantastic. Ive been wanting to try the St BErnardus but I think I'll wait til closer til the holidays. I usually buy Great Divide Hibernation every year. Bought a Sam Smith Winter Warmer earlier so am excited to try that for teh first time too.

    I will echo those who say St. Bernardus.

    I also tried Upslope Christmas this week, and found it to be a little simple, but drinkable and enjoyable. If you are looking for a holiday brew that is not as heavily spiced as some, check it out.

    Man, so many good Christmas/Winter beers. By far my favorite beer "season". I agree with a lot of the above and will add one that I haven't seen yet, Fantome de Noel.

    Being a NW fella and a Chicago transplant, Jubelale is sorely missed. Along w/ Ninkasi's Sleigher & HUB's Abominable. That being said, I recently discovered Great Lakes Christmas Ale, which I find absolutely delicious.

    St Bernadrus. And King and Barnes use to produce the best UK brewed Christmas beer I've ever had.
