Let's have a xmas beer thread.

i was drinking this at the weekend…..would love some for xmas at home.

Had some Brewdog Hoppy Christmas last weekend, nice. Also some “St. Bernadus Christmas Ale”, despite being 10% it wasn’t bad:

(Prefer the Brewdog IPA though…)

Nothing to do with Christmas at all, but I’ve been enjoying Skull Splitter recently. High abv but very very tasty. Good thing it comes in small bottles.

If you can find some then Sam Smiths “Winter Welcome” is lovely

Not very Christmassy but who cares when it’s this good

I’ll get something more robust in too.

Had a half of a very nice one last night but can I hell remember what it was called.

Going do doe Googling.

Had a pint of Reinbeer the other day. It wasn’t great.

Had a pint of this in the Wellington in Brum on Monday, they wouldn’t let me have the saddle

Did you have a sniff, though, Houns?

Reinbeer

I licked it CFH

As referenced in the other thread Bah Humbug by Wychwood from Aldi is a cracking winter beer.

**THIS IS NOT A BORING THREAD** 😆

Oi brakes, I really did. I had it on draught though.

We’re going over to the inlaws in Scotland, I’m not risking out of date Tennents so have put myself in charge of beer, this taking pride of place;

jekkyl, now you’re talking, and like pets, it’s not just for Christmas…

…unlike all the fancy here today, gone tomorrow trendy bollocks.

Even Santa himself wouldn’t turn down a Stella 😉

got to admit, I do like a stella myself if I have to drink lager.

Any of these

the last special was done in whiskey casks

Most of the beer styles posted above have been around for centuries, it’s just only more recently that the general public have been sufficiently educated to realise that there’s better quality stuff out there than the pisswater they’ve been fed for years by large commercial breweries.

nail on the head mate……… 😀

Irelanst, too many of those and “I wish I could Fly….” IGMC

Nothing like a Naked Jakobsen:

Need to get down the Wellington for some of that Houns!

Have had a couple of these this week, quite nice with a festive hint of cinnamon:

i hate these beer threads……dont you too Kryton….. 😆

The night before they had a launch event upstairs, purity had a few bikes there apparently

Bump for the Friday Beer Thread.
Just collected a mini cask (8.8 pints) of Silver King from Ossett Brewery, just need to wait 24hrs for it to settle.

cheviots, got a saltaire blonde version for xmas.
also a customer has just been in and brought me 6 x 75cl of hoegaarden blanche.

Bought six of these and will be doing the pepsi challenge against the 2 remaining 2012 bottles I have left from last year:

funnily enough, I like me beer to taste of, well, beer.

You can keep yer spices for the mince pies

Ton, tried their Raspberry blonde a few weeks back really nice, didn’t realise they did mini casks too, although it’s bit of a trek to get over there for me.

I’ve been off the beer for a few years due to coeliac disease, just started reconning the available gluten free options so will be on the hambleton ales GFL (best lager I have ever tasted, GF or not) and the Greens Supreme Golden Ale, which I’ve not tried yet

Mmmm beer, how I missed you.

cheviots, a pal who has a pub got 4 from them, blonde, cascade, raspberry and a dark one.

Just picked up a 24 bottle box of these beauties, couldn’t get the racer 5.

King of Biscuits, I don’t suppose you’re in Glasgow? I’ve called almost every beer shop in town trying to find somewhere that still has Anchor Christmas Ale in stock with no luck 🙁
