I looked around and I discovered a website that you might find helpful:

;D ;D ;D


Just kidding. That is quite a list though. I am a big fan of Smuttynose, but I'll admit, I probably haven't tried 1/10 of what you have on here.

OFF TO TOTAL WINE!!!

I'll have to give Shipyard a try. Had a bunch of their other stuff while up in Maine this summer and it was really good.

Impressive list you have there. If you have the opportunity, the Alaskan Winter is pretty good. I think it'll be available on the West Coast and parts of the Midwest.

Your list is seriously, inexcusably hurt by the absence of Troeg's Mad Elf.

I also recommend laying your hands on Delirium Noel. It's everything you want from Huyghe but christmassy.

While I can't say I've tried this one, I am intrigued by its place in the Guinness Book of World Records!

I discovered an amazing beer at Oktoberfest in Shirlington a couple weeks ago:

Corsendonk Brown Ale.

I'm a big fan of brown ales, but I absolutely loved this.

And looking into Corsendonk (Belgian), I discovered that they make a Christmas ale. If it's anywhere near as good as their brown ale, it's bound to be awesome.

I'm going to be looking for both at Total Wine tomorrow.

I find Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale one of my personal favorites. A hearty, hoppy ale that reminds me of Christmas!

Love the Cranberry Lambic

Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout. Not a winter beer per se, but only available in limited batches. 10% alchohol, not for the casual beer drinker.

+1. Phenomenal beer. Miss it out here on the West Coast.
