Best Winter Brew-

Since Xmas is upon us, and my winter favorite is sadly not being produced this year (Winter's Bourbon Cask Ale), what readily available winter brew is tops to you? I want to get some nice brew to drink.

I like the Sam Adams Winter Brew, but I have to agree with the posts above that Sierra Nevada has them beat.

I just had some Troegs Mad Elf last night and damn was it good.

This year i tried sam adams winter larger and really like it. Could definitely be a great beer for talking on the lift for going up or enjoying in the lodge

my fav Winter Abbey

not winter brew but Cherry wheat is Win for all 4 seasons

Gotta put in a +1 for Sierra Nevada's Celebration, a damn fine beer.

Sierra also just put out a collaboration with Dogfish Head and it's killer...Life and Limb...check it out!!

Bells Winter White is my go to.
Their Christmas Ale isn't bad either.

Just about finished with my recent 6-pack of Celebration Ale, it's def a good winter beer.

Goose island mild winter is one of my favorites, chicago brew.

A very strange brew that's available in Winter only is Buffalo Bill's Brewery's Blueberry Oatmeal Stout.  I've tried it, but it's one of the few times I didn't care for something blueberry flavored.  I know others who absolutely love this stuff tho.  Hayward, CA-based, but the bottled beers are sold nationwide.

i always liked the cranberry lambic that USED to come with the sam adams winter collection. sadly they took it out.

The other day I had a Sam Adams Winter Lager, which was on tap @Applebee's. I don't recall if I've ever had it before, but it wasn't bad. It and the ones I already mentioned are a good way to wet my whistle before I move onto the porters & stouts that I typically crave during the season.

if you can still find it, then check out the collaboration b/w sierra nevada and dogfish head...it's called "life and limb" and it's delicious!  the only prob is that it was a one-time deal and near everyone's sold out by now.

so if you see it, then don't hesitate!!!

Yes, the BLack and Brew coffee stout is good! Came in a sampler pack of Sam Adams. 1554 by New Belgium is good. They have a new brew out at the bars, but I didn't get a chance to try it last night (can't beat $2 domestic 24oz drafts!).

gotta love blue moon's winter brew.

Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale is by far my favorite winter beer, the fresh hops add a much more refreshing taste to the beer over a standard IPA

To tell you the truth grab a pacifico and your good, put it on ice first.

I had a jalapeno magarita in Breck this year and last. Can't remember what all is in it but it was freakin awesome. Good to have one when you take a break from your runs but i couldn't drink them all day.
