    Mad Elf and 12 Dogs of Christmas for me. I like Frosted Frog a decent bit too, if they got a little more balance on the spices.

    I gotta go with Winter Hook. It's my go-to winter beer. I week be trying Celebration this year. I hope it lives up to the hype I've been seeing on here. Right now I'm digging this Diamond Knot Ho!Ho! Winter Ale.

    St Bernardus Christmas, Affligem Noel, Nice Chouffe, and Delirium Noel are all worthy Christmas beers that I enjoy for the Holidays. With that said, I cannt wait to try Stones Christmas vertical.

    Since I haven't seen any references to Highland's Cold Mountain, I can only assume those of you out of the area haven't had the privilege. :stuck_out_tongue:

    A few others I enjoy that have already been mentioned: Anchor Christmas, St. Bernardus Christmas Ale, Delirium Noel, Sam Adams' Old Fezziwig and Holiday Porter.

    Anchor Christmas was pretty good to me, Christmas in a pint.

    Looking forward to trying SN Celebration though, after so many folks give it a thumbs up.

    I live off of SN Celebration and GL Christmas Ale. These are top of the line brews for me (in general), so when they're in season, I make sure I get my fill!

    Evil Twin Soft Xmas.
    By far my favorite holiday beer. As stated in another similar thread, I really hope it's brewed again.

    You seem to rep the shit out of Italian beers...can't say that I blame you. Filled up a growler of Brewfist! Spaceman the other night at the beer bar I work at; first beer I said "I need a growler of that" since living in Europe.

    This is one I would like to try, but I'm not sure I will find it around here.
