I supplied a growler of 9/Fifteen Pale Ale, and a few bottles of White Panama to the Christmas Eve festivities. Christmas will actually be a smaller affair, and I'd be the only one imbibing, so I might not bring any beer (although I have a bottle of white wine to go with the turkey).

When my brother comes to visit Sunday, I might bring a growler of the Red-Eye Rye. Should be carbed adequately by then.

I must admit, after reading through all of your responses, it seems like every one of us will be drinking a really great selection of beer this Christmas!

Haven't had the pleasure of being around much lately, or to do much brewing either, so I wanted to make sure I dropped in and said Merry Christmas. I finally have some bottles I'm satisfied enough to share, so I need to get some boxes out early January. I also plan to (finally) brew again this weekend, as I have ingredients for a cacao/coconut/caramel wee heavy (I may secondary some bourbon soaked oak cubes as well).

I've been sticking to a Christmas theme over the holiday, so here's what's been up here so far...

Well, I actually started the holiday with a non-Christmas related beer, but it's a good one.

Japa Chai Milk Stout from Mantra Artisan Ales. Such great beers coming from the most local brewery to my house...

Then on to the Christmas beers...

Père Noël (2015) by Brouwerij De Ranke. This awesome Belgian pale is one that I have sought out over the years. I had a sizable stash of the '09 vintage, but I finished the last one last year.

Christmas Eve At A New York City Hotel Room (2015) by Evil Twin. OK, I'm not in NYC, and I'm not in a hotel room, but this was one of my Christmas Eve beers. Quite good...

I also had my own Christmas Ale (2014). I'm really liking this. The spices have melded into the english ale quite nicely now...

For today (and into the weekend), I've queued up the following...

Fezzi has been open so far. Either the Anchor or the Prairie will hit next. It's entirely possible I'll decide to ditch the Christmas theme after today and throw in a nice sour from Wicked Weed, Yazoo, or someone, but time will tell...

Then to plan the NYE beers... ;)

Just a few glasses of 4.5% Pudgeweiser (as named by the Prof) while playing with the grandkids and helping the wife with Christmas dinner.
