St. Arnold Christmas Ale

That dude just can't stop getting pwned.

 

You don't say.

 

i feel so very schiznophrenic with this post... wow.

1) st. arnold's makes some very qualtiy brews, imo. lawnmower, amber, and their christmas ales are all quite good. their summer pils is solid as well.

2) SN Celebration Ale is the most overrated beer i've ever had... i've never seen more fluffing for a particular beer. it's decent at best, imo. SN makes several great brews, though... their harvest ale, anniversary ale, and pale ale are all good.

3) Liberty's MC and HN is indeed fantastic... so much so, i still have a 2007 in the fridge to compare w/ this year's batch.

i assure you that you probably have a more refined palatte, but these are just my opinions.

carry on.

 

Sam Adams winter variety pack is great, especially the Old Fezziwig and the Cramberry Lambic. It does piss me off when they include 2 bottles of the regular old Boston Lager with the other seasonals. I'd much rather have two more of something different. They always do that, and I always buy it. I guess the jokes on me.

 

What a ringing endorsement. I may have to try some this year.

 

Well, i'm a filthy American capitalist pig who enjoys drinking piss straight from the tap.

 

Kind of like McCain getting an endorsement from Cheney.

 

There is nothing like a keg of St. Arnold's Christmas Ale on a hot summer day in August.

 

Do any of you Christmas Ale lovers shop at the D&Q, because I was standing behind a guy buying it and telling Brandon how much he liked it at about 5:00 today.

 

BWAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Back to the topic at hand....beer....what ever happened to Shiner Winter Ale. I loved that stuff.

 

Anchor's Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ale is available in Houston today.

 

I just watched 3 hours of quality rockabilly and was given 8 Fat Tires to take home with my thirsty self. I forgot how good plain ol' Fat Tire was, but mostly I just wanted to brag.

Many Bee-Bop-a-Lula fans out there? Damn I love that song...

 

A terrible beer.

An amazing song. She's my baby!

 

what makes it christmas. i mean is it a specific flavor or something?

 

dark as hell and more alcohol to keep you warm in the cold cold night.

otherwise, just sophisticated things i have no idea about. malts and citrus and whatnot. myeess. beeries, help us out.

 

It got renamed to something like Dunkenweisen.

 

Sierra Nevada's Celebration Ale is one of the best IPAs available.
I'm going to assume by "Liberty" you really mean "Anchor." If that is the case, then...it is a fantastic example of a "spiced" ale or whatever you want to call it. I have tap markers for the Anchor Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Ale going back to 1988! Yes...obsessed...

 

Oh, yeah...I forgot to add my opinion on the original topic:

St. Arnold's is pedestrian, beginner-level microbrew at best.
