Beer snob discussion thread

  Fosters "Christmas Down Under" is one of the best spiced seasonal brews around. I believe the release date is Saturday.

  I'd ignore them because they are clearly trolling.

  I like the Breckenridge Christmas ale and 21st Amendment Fireside Chat.

  Fireside Chat is one of my favorite canned beers (if not my favorite). I may have to try Breckenridge.

  Southern Tier's Old Man Winter
  Weyerbacher Winter Ale
  New Holland Cabin Fever
  Bell's Winter White
  
  Personally, I am a fan of Barleywines in the winter, too. For that, I like Lagunita's Brown Shugga.

  Not a "Christmas" beer but I'm a big fan of Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale.

  Good luck at stopping drinking it. I put a lot back for our Christmas in July party.

  I actually saw a bit of that in March in the sale cart at Total Wine. All of their X-Mas bombers were like 40-60% off, I should have pulled the trigger on some.

  Yeah. Winter/Spring is the time to buy Pumking!

  Had lucky bastard last night. I remember liking this a lot more back in 2012. Super hoppy, really sugary.

  Had Pumking on the CEO's tab today. The sweetness and spice are less pronounced than in the past. I liked it.

  So you noticed it too. I am opposite, though, as I prefer teh spice.

  I like beers to taste less like they lean on other ingredients. It's a personal taste thing.
  
  The exception might be their Creme Brulee Stout.
