Unfortunately no I had to be back Sat night.

If you can't find it just lemme know, I'll hold onto them and I'll give them to you next time I'm in the area, which should be soon.

Thanks man, I appreciate you and Britneck offering the Christmas Ale!

:cheers2:

Anyone got any good recommendations for winter seasonals? Preferably from a microbrew?

I'm talking about that cinnamon, ginger, type stuff...but not with too much crazy ingredients

Highland Brewery in Asheville makes Cold Mountain, which is really good. I think it's starting to hit Total Wine stores right now.

A lot of the guys in this thread are big fans of Great Lakes Christmas Ale. I've never had it, but most agree it's one of the best out there. I think a place called Custom Home Pubs in Matthews just got it in, and we may see it at Harris-Teeters or Total Wine.

I just got back from the Dominican republic where we stayed at an all inclusive resort. Only problem is that they only have 1 beer at the hotel and in the while country. Presidente.....ugh. luckily they did have jack Daniels.

I was wondering where you'd been!

Whenever there are no good beers to be had, I'll switch to wine or bourbon. :yesnod:

it was funny because the first day at the restaurant they asked me what I wanted to drink. So I said what kind of beers do you have? The non english speaking waitress just had a blank stare on her face and kept saying cerveza, cerveza? Then I went through the whole resort looking and all they had was a tap for Presidente. Lets just say I was sooo disappointed. Oh well.

Beaux sorry for the late response on the mocha stout!

Absolutely loved it, went great with my dinner and I ended up drinking all six in one night. Not much of an expert on how to analyze/critique beer, but I enjoyed this particular craft. Aroma was a pleasure for the nose, and the after taste was my favorite aspect.

Thanks again my man!

Cool, glad you liked it! That beer as well as Highland's Oatmeal Porter were the beers that got me into craft beer.

I had breakfast for dinner last night. Biscuits with homemade sausage, cheese grits, hashbrowns and eggs. Of course, I had to have a coffee stout with this meal, so I went with Bell's Java Stout -- which almost tastes like cold, black coffee. I love it.

My dog is pouting under the table because I wouldn't let her have any of it.
