Mark VI Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Sam Adams Winter Lager. It's my substitute for water during this last week of vacation. I had some Yueling Amber for the first time this past week. Not bad. I like Killian better. My regular beer is Old Vienna or Labatt Blue. Any good Holiday beer I should be aware of ?

Pete Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Sierra Nevada Celebration is excellent and Harpoon Winter Warmer is a guilty pleasure of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanNC Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 If I were still in Buffalo I'd definitely pick up some Flying Bison Skye Pilot Scotch Ale. It's delicious. You can pick up growlers at the brewery itself and I think Premier Gourmet on Delaware. You'll also find it on tap at some of the better bars in the area.

ATBNG Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 I like that Winterhook Ale an awful lot, but Sam is a fine choice. All and all, this is by far my favorite time of year for beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvermike Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Anchor Steam had a great winter lager I tried - dark, full, just a little bitter. I only had one, so memory is a little fuzzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 I generally don't wander outside of either Bass Ale or Gorden Biersch Marzen, but I happened upon some Becks Oktoberfest, and I must say, it is mighty tasty. Since I buy my beer 10 cases at a time, I've been drinking it for a month now and will continue to for...oh...another month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanNC Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 I just went downstairs and tapped a smoked robust porter that I brewed last month. I was inspired by an Alaskan Smoked Porter that a friend of mine brought back with him in September. Damn tasty stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turf Toejam Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Just picked up some Geary's Hampshire Winter Ale. Haven't scarfed any of it yet, but it's usually excellent stuff. Sam's Winter is a good standard too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Brewer? 185967[/snapback] You're not a beer drinker...are you. Actually, Alaskan Amber is kinda tasty as well. But a beer from Juneau to you is probably like Corona to a Mexican. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top with Heineken. Enjoy. You really don't like beer, then, do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjm3773 Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 The SA Winter Lager is a nice choice for the holidays, but my favorite beer, especially that it is now available in the US, is Smithwick's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
