Twelve Beers of Christmas
General Beer Discussion by BLUESANDBARBQ
For the last four years, since becoming a BeerPal, I have indulged in a plethora of Holiday Ales and very good beers that I just wanted to save for this time of year. Many have come from the most generous BPs that are kind enough to trade with me. Others were gathered from beer quests near and far. Still others were gifts from family members and friends. I share with you the last three Twelve Beers of Christmas that have Graced my palette, plus this year's planned list. Does anyone else do this? You know, Merry-Christmas-to-me kind of thing?
