so far i've gotten:

cisco celebration libation:

not the greatest, really...was too strong in some unnamed spice (not nutmeg or cinnamon, thankfully)

sierra nevada celebration:

excellent. pretty hoppy for an xmas beer.

anchor christmas

pretty complex. i like it

rogue santa's private reserve:

a fave from last year, and now i can find it in 12oz bottles. very very good beer.

I've been getting some Saranac holiday 12 pack combos. Their caramel porter is a real standout.

That 12 pack could be the best twelver I've had. 12 different beers and not a bad one in the lot. I need to pick up another.

I really like the Saranac stuff. They don't do anything over the top, just really nice beers at a nice price.

Is this the one?

I'll be bottling my Holiday Ginger & Spice Ale this week, unfortunately it will not be conditioned in time for Christmas, but it'll be spot-on for New Year's eve.

Anderson Valley Winter Solstice Ale

Celebration is the ol' standby for holiday ales.

This one was OK, but not great:

That's the one, Steve. Good stuff.

 

[GumbaFish]

Dang I think its time I get some of these. That Anchor looks yummy.

I'm not picky, just pour it into my feeding tube...

I actually purchased some last week, but I gave the 12'er to a guy I work with for a secret santa gift exchange thing we did here.

However, I still have a bunch of Harpoon in the fridge.

A big bottle of Coopersmith Jingle Ale showed up on my doorstep today. Accompanying it were also a Breckenridge Christmas Ale, 2 anchor Christmas ales (one for now, one for next year), and a mystery beer with the label removed and the cap sanded...

I don't do much of the theme beers but I did pass out a few cases of Harpoon mixed 12packs to business contacts today. Also picked up 6ea of Dogfish 60min, Carlsberg and Peak organic pale ale to augment the Pilsner Urquells I already had. They were supposed to be for the weekend but it appears i've put the hurt on them this evening.

It's the only thing I like.

the urquell is probably coming in handy for this heatwave we're in. i just got some stella.

i love me some dogfish, but the wife ain't all that big on hop monsters anymore.

 

[BadDNA]

Pretty tasty, a hint of spice, maybe some ginger notes.

Anchor 2006 so far. More to follow.

Sierra Nevada, Magic hat Holiday sample pack. What does everyone think about that mystery brew from the holiday Magic Hat?

 

[berkshire_rider]

Should've given a 12-er of Coors Light.

It's one of the only people at work that drinks decent beer - plus it was on sale at the packie. I'll bring some Coors Light to Monkeyfest 2007 for IAB.

 

[mikeG]

9.5% Alc. by volume

It's a Belgian style brew and isn't bad. I've had better for sure. I may vote to pan this one. They've got a lot better options IMHO.
