Hi All,
Every year Englands oldest brewer,Shepherd Neame based in Faversham,Kent, brews a special Christmas Ale. Every year it is different by a big margin from the last,they are all good though..
This years is great, a roaring 7% ABV and great taste,as my good lady remarked "It's so Christmassy you can taste the Tinsel !"
If you can get hold of some wherever you are you wont be disappointed.
Whatever,have a Pissy Chrissy!
love

Wow, that sounds DELICIOUS, Wobble... fat chance I'll get to taste it across the pond.
I love the Christmas beer they make at a little local mini-brewery... so lovely with the spice overtones... cinnamon and cloves, I think.
One day I'll get to do my Beer Drinkers World Tour and try all the different ales.I am sure it would be a spiritual journey based on the Irish logic of beer drinking which goes something like this:
"If we drink beer till we're drunk,we go to sleep,
if we are asleep we do not sin,
if we do not sin,we go to heaven,
lets all drink loads of beer and go to Heaven! "
Cheers

Ooooh. That sounds good.
I love Shepherd Neame's Spitfire. A nice beer that isn't quite as high in alcohol content!
This is some good stuff.
From Beautiful British Columbia here is one for you to try.... Gotta Love The Name...

Eldridge Pope used to do a good one
Sounds good, poz. I like the dark ones, too. Haven't seen that one, here. Rikards red does it for me.
