By which I mean we’re splitting a glass of Great Lakes Christmas Ale. We already had one, and are half shitfaced (okay, I had a Yuengling too).
OMG, it’s like Santa vommed holiday magic into my mouth. Never heard of it? It’s entirely possible it never makes it to where you are, because the people in the immediate region drink it all (I’ve been known to buy three cases, one for my sister, two for me). I’ve heard it said the entire city of Cleveland is drunk upon it’s yearly release (sorry, I’ve been reading Dickens again). The only wretched thing about this beer is it’s limited availability. Everything else is pure cinnamon bliss.

This struck me as very funny, Antoinette. Our son wanted pumpkin beer for Thanksgiving. I’ll have to ask him if he’s ever had Great Lakes Christmas Ale. I’ve never been a beer drinker.
I’ve been told I’m a funny drunk 😉
Tell your son to bring you home some Lindemans Peche (peach). The Framboise (raspberry) is good, but it can be too sweet. The peach has a little sourness to it. I’m a big believer in there’s a beer out there for everyone.
The Great Lake Xmas Ale is divine. My favorite in fact. Before that it was Gulden Draak Barley Wine.
I’m going to see him tomorrow. I’ll tell him. Thanks for the recommendations. 🙂
I used to work at this one lab, and I always told my boss, “I know more about beer than science.” And she told me, “Don’t tell me that Antoinette.”
Everyone needs to be an expert about something. 😉
You should try New Glarus beer…..and I have been told I am a sleepy drunk and that I dance better drunk…lol
I’ll keep an eye out for it–I love new beer. I think we all dance better drunk.
Ever need …. Shoot me an email…..I can prob find a place near or someone can find it close to you…..true everyone dances better drunk but if you saw me sober and dancing you would def know why I say that…..that and the last two times I was three day hangover drunk I received a huge present 9 months later…..lol
Geez, and I thought that one time I got into the blackberry/rhubarb margaritas was rough (turns out I’m allergic to one of those ingredients). You must dance really good when you’re really drunk to keep waking up in that condition.
I live near a Great Lake and have never heard of this beer. I want!
It’s so very tasty. Bell’s is probably close by, and they’ve apparently made a winter wheat (Oberon Winter White) my husband can’t wait to tuck into.
That sounds fabulous. My current favourite is Poacher’s Choice by the Badger Brewery. That’s very fruity and one bottle is plenty if you know what I mean. 😉
If I see something by the Badger Brewery, especially that, I’ll give it a try. I like fruity beers. Okay, I like pretty much any beer.
I do know what you mean by one bottle. I had a friend tell me he drank a six-pack of Golden Monkey. I won’t tell you what I asked him after that. 😉
I personally don’t do beer anymore…only the hard stuff….but when half the state smells like a brewery on a warm summer day…..hard to avoid……we have a local one that is pretty tasty and they have food food there also…..so I can get fat and drunk while I read your better then beer stories….
Thanks Shannon!
Are you implying that when the air smells of beer, you’re impelled to drink it? I like blaming my drinking on the alcohol. I’m going to start saying, “The beer was cold, it was necessary I drink one, or two…”
