Beers That Keep You Warm (and put hair on your chest)
So, over the holidays, my brother and I tried some various seasonal/winter/christmas brews. I have always been a sucker for these kinds of beer because they remind me of all the things I love about Christmas plus Beer. I had a few that were good and some that were awful, the Abita one tasted rough, but overall it was not my favorite year for seasonal/winter/christmas brews.
Since I was a lazy beer drinker then and chose not to post my opinions of them, I decided to ask you dear reader what you favorites are. I want to know what your favorite christmas time beer is this year, last year, or year after year. Feel free to speak upon the bad ones too. And for the record, Highland Cold Mountain Winter Ale reminded me most of Christmas.
And here is the rest of it.

I really enjoyed this year's offering by Anchor Brewing Co.
I find that the Sierra Nevada Celebration is a welcome addition this time of year. It seems to vary in hoppiness/maltiness year to year and that's a good thing.
Also, I just imbibed in some of the Terrapin Coffee Oatmeal Imperial Stout, a beer brewed in small batches once a year. I was able to pick up a four pack and found that it didn't last a day, despite the high alcohol content. True coffee flavor as it's mixed with real coffee. Good stuff.
Hi Brooke and Stephen,
I wanted to invite you into my social network for beer drinkers. A lot of bloggers have been joining and promoting their blog on there. We'd love to have you two on there as well. Check it out - www.democracysdrink.com
Hope to you guys there,
Cheers,

I'm agreeing with both Keith and Brook on their mentions of the Anchor Brewing and Sierra Nevada's Christmastime beer offerings. I recently reviewed the Anchor Brewing Co's "Our Special Ale" and loved this year's edition (and bottle label design too if it matters).
I have a soft spot for the Great Lakes Brewing Company's "Christmas Ale". I look forward to it every holiday and try to stock up when it's available. Christmas in a bottle. Looking forward to trying the Highlands next year hopefully if I can find it.
I still love this blog!
