Great Christmas Beer.

[r0jaws]

Just been up the road to the beers of the world warehouse just outside Kings Lynn and was overawed at the selection available.
Grabbed a few Chimay and some Xmas ales to be getting on with and have just had a taste of the St Peters Honey Porter.
Absolutely fantastic and has shot to the top of my Favourite Xmas beer so far!

MMMMMmmmmmmmm!
I thoroughly recommend this little Gem for anyone looking for something a bit different for Xmas.
Any more suggestions for seasonal ales out there? I'm definitely planning a restock before the big day!

Adnams used to do a Christmas Ale - bl00dy strong - used to make me drive into fields after a few when at Marham - good job the gate was open and the field was frozen :)

just found this - So i'll be hunting for an Adnams pub! :)
Adnams and Hook Norton add brews to Christmas list


Adnams and Hook Norton are both hoping to warm beer-drinkers hearts with Christmas ales. Hook Norton’s ‘Twelve Days’ is on sale this month and next. The 5.5% ABV has the colour of Christmas pudding, the result of roasted chocolate malt, and has a nutty flavour. Meanwhile, Adnams Yuletide is also now on sale. The 4.5% ABV brew is made up of Marris otter Pale Ale, Boadicea, Chinook and Amber Malts. The Suffolk brewer believes that discerning ale drinkers will reach for Yuletide because they trust Adnam’s reputation as brewers. Which brew comes out top of the tree remains to be seen, as does the extent to which drinkers want to try something different over the festive season.

Fullers do a winter ale called Jack Frost. Worth seeking out if you're in the London area. Unfortunately it's only available bottled this year, the draught version is apparently having a year off. http://www.fullers.co.uk/main.phtml?history=2080

Fullers also do an old winter ale on draught, but I can't vouch for it as I've not tried it yet. http://www.fullers.co.uk/main.phtml?history=2161
