Hooray! Dozens of Holiday Beers available for 2006Posted Dec 12th 2006 6:06PM by Jonathan M. ForesterFiled under: Beer, Fall Flavors, Spirit of ChristmasI'm a brew lover, especially at this time of year when beer companies release their seasonal holiday special beers. They tend to be dark, spicy, complicated, high alcohol, and unusual; all the things I like in a beer. I just ran across a Daily News article about thirty of them that got my taste buds roaring in anticipation. These tend to be sipping beers with alcohol levels at around 10 percent or more! Some of my favorites in the past have been Anchor Christmas and New Year's Ale, De Dolle's Stille Nacht, La Moneuse Special Winter Ale from Brasserie de Blaugies, Huyghe's Delirium Noel, Corsendonk's Christmas Ale, Affligem's Noel Christmas Ale, Sierra Nevada's Celebration Ale, Goose Island's Christmas Ale, and Brasserie Dubuisson's Scaldis Noel. After reading the article I realize that there are dozens out there I haven't tried yet. Well the weekend is coming up in a few days and I think I will have to head to a few of my favorite pubs in NYC like d.b.a's whose motto is "Drink Good Stuff" (They have locations in NYC's East Village and New Orleans) and The Gingerman (with locations in NYC, Greenwich, CT, and several in Texas) or the White Plains, NY Lazy Boy Saloon or a few other of my haunts, where I know they will have plenty to sample, both on tap and in bottles. I may have to give a call to one of my fellow bloggers who lives in the area so we can raise and lower a few pints or three for the holidays. Hmmm ... it's just a few more days 'til the weekend, I hope I can make it.
