It's the most wonderful time to drink beer...

Winter beers are the best beers.  I know it, you know it, we all know it.

Our holiday beer blind tasting has become a tradition.  Last year our friends from Rainy Day Brewing joined us for the tasting.  They commented that you know it's getting bad when they have to "Call in the Jews" for a Christmas beer tasting.  We liked their style so we rolled with that this year for the 2nd Annual Interfaith Holiday Craft Beer Spectacular, cause we're inclusive like that.

Rules are the same as always.  Blind taste the beer and pick your favorite.  Simple.  At the end of the show we tally everyone's favorites for an overall Top 3.

This year's holiday beers included...

• Abita Christmas Ale
• St. Bernardus Christmas Ale
• Highland Cold Mountain
• Bold Monk Leon
• Anchor Christmas Ale
• Shiner Cheer
• Rogue Santa's Private Reserve
• Delirium Noel
• N'ice Chouffe
• Bell's Christmas Ale
• Southern Tier 2XMAS
• Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome
• Sierra Nevada Celebration
• 21st Amendment Fireside Chat

I'm gonna be straight with you here.  Overall, this year's offerings didn't seem to meet the mark we expect of many of these beers.  We've had many of these before and had high expectations.  However, there are a few standouts and you'll no doubt have some good selections to enjoy through the holidays.

Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, and we hope you enjoy any other holiday you celebrate.

Cheers!
