You know, as a value option, this Berghoff isn't half-bad.

No one has drank a single interesting beer since August?
For shame!

As I try to make my way through every available Winter Seasonal, the best so far, Bell's Special Double Cream Stout.

Next up:  Firestone Velvet Melin.

Great Lakes Christmas beer is outstanding in small doses.

I've never liked a Great Lakes beer.

In non holiday themed beers, I'd recommend Three Floyds' Dreadnaught - it's a fantastic, powerful IPA. One of the best I've had.

Also, I have a bottle of Founders Canadian Breakfast Stout in my cabinet that I'm trying to find the right time to drink. Might be Xmas. Might be in two years. I do not know.

Unfortunately, I can't get Founders out here, but I constantly hear/read great things.

Two other recent beers that I can definitely recommend (both fromy Odell):

Myrcenary - a Double IPA (9.30%)
Mountain Standard - A Double Black (Cascadian) IPA (9.5%).

I think the Myrcenary is superior, but that may just be because I prefer the more traditional IPA to the Black.

For more readily available Winter beers, New Belgium's new Snow Day is a pretty solid effort too.
Aside from 1554, I think this is their best beer (not counting any of the Lips of Faith or other 22 oz options.)
I think it's much, much better than their old winter offering, 2 Below (which I don't miss at all.)

I hate pumpkin beer and I don't understand why people like them.

Pumpkin beer is always stealing the spotlight from Pen's beloved apricot beer and he can't stand it.

The 50 Worst Beers in the World.
At quick count, I've had 24 of them.

#27 on the list is made in the small town I live in and it's like mixing a Corona with a bottle of Tabasco.

I'd like to throw on that list any of my friends who tried their hands at brewing their own beers.
