Seasonal Brews

Any favorite beers for the Solstice/Christmas/Kwanzaa/Hanukkah/Festivus season(s)? What do you like to drink, whichever winter holiday you celebrate, and whether you drink it naked or clothed, alone or with friends?
The only seasonal beer I have right now is a hometown favorite, Sweetwater Festive Ale.

Any other suggestions for the holiday season?

Up here in NH Christmas Season means really cold season as in below zero temps. I think the cold temps are a great time to enjoy Porters and Stouts, the really dark high ABV beers. My favorite is from a local brew pub called Schillings and the beer is a Baltic Porter named Kamarade. Excellent beer about 8.6 ABV, it keeps you warm.

This time of year, there are some good but brown ales available. Those are a personal favorite. The porters and stouts go down good in the colder weather - nice and hardy.

Stouts are about as seasonable as I brew. Chocolate, orange stout is the recipe this year.The local brew pub (Southern Tier Brewing) puts together some pretty popular recipes, but I don't care for a lot of spices in beer, so one glass occasionally is about as much as I drink.

In Norway all breweries make their own Christmas beer. This is a
tradition that has been around since they started brewing in
Norway. These beers are dark under fermented beers with mild
sweetness from malts, moderate bitterness and relatively high
alcohol content (6,5 - 10%).
These beers are
really good with the traditional Christmas food in Norway. My favorites Christmas beers are from my local brewery Lervig, and
from Aass brewery.

Hardywood Gingerbread Stout is really good. It has a pretty deep gingerbread flavor.

I think I would be reluctant to put something to my mouth from a brewery with aname like that. No telling where it's been before leaving the brewery. LOL

Harpoon's Winter Warmer is a nice spiced ale as well.

Just tried some CRU from Flying Fish Brewery. I like this a lot! Smooth, no bitter aftertaste. Not sure of the availability nationwide, but it's available in the NJ/eastern PA areas. If you see it, give it a try!
