OT: Christams Beer Review

[thebushman82]

Merry Christmas, bushwackers! The Bushman & Black Rain are here to spread the merriness and celebrate the holidays the only way they know how - with beer! In the spirit of the Griswolds, our intrepid gang decided to venture far out into the wilderness to find the perfect tree. And find it they did. And decorate it they did, with the world's longest extension cord and endless cheer. Celebration Ales fast in hand they decided what the hell, let's film a beer review while we're at it because why the hell not. So they did. And now you're reading about it for some reason.

As always, be safe out there and have a Merry Christmas. GO DOGS!

I really like the Celebration Ale. Really I like Sierra Nevada period--I think they do a good job across the board. Better in my opinion than NBB, Abita, and Sam Adams.

As for other beers, I grab the Anchor Steam Christmas whenever I see it.

Also: while not Christmas but definitely holiday seasonal: Tin Roof Parade Ground Coffee Porter (winter seasonal) is a favorite. I love this beer and it always gets me hyped for Carnival season.

Merry Christmas and keep up the good work spreading the word. Mardi Gras special around the corner perhaps??

Try the New Belgian Accumulation White IPA. For later in the new year, get the New Belgian Snapshot Wheat - a really good beer. It's been around awhile, but I just recently tried it. Liked it a lot.

they are a solid brewery (SN). i have heard good things about the parade ground but have yet to try it....forgot to grab one while making my christmas eve sixer at hops and habanas.

the accumulation white ipa by new belgium is great. yazoo had a 10th anniversary white ipa that was awesome. my favorite beer they have done by far.

as far as whats next, i am really not sure....we are kicking the can around but i'm thinking we are gonna go out of the box on this next one.

thanks for watching guys and ill definitely try out the beers listed above....keep em coming!

Thanks, Bush. I'll have to try that.

I'm not a big fan of Sam Adams beers, but I like Sam Adams Winter a lot.

YOU GUYS...you have to get some Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale. They age it in bourbon barrels and you can taste a hint of bourbon in it. Awesome stuff. High gravity too. But you can only get it in these red states. Meh.

black rain is the bourbon man, he loves it. i am not a big fan of bourbon flavored beer though. we are going to atlanta for new years so we shall pick up some, cause im not scared to try anything and maybe i just havent had the right one.

for the record, we are going to see futurebirds and water liars play for new years, not tsun. makes me sick to even be in the same city as them on my new years...

thanks for watching and the recommendations! i shall report back with my findings!

Agree on the bourbon barrel. Had a growler of it on Thanksgiving. Today my growler was the St. Bernardus Holiday Ale. It's what you would expect from Trappists on Christmas.

Also, don't even bother with the Southern Tier 2Xmas. **** was nasty.
