I'm wondering what beverages my fellow CA'ers will be drinking over the Holidays. Have you purchased any special scotches, bourbons, ports, wines, beers, etc.?

I've laid in a nice variety of beers.


Tyranena Hop Whore (a double IPA)
Surly Furious (for that lovely pine tree smell ;) )
Founders Breakfast Stout
Old Rasputin
Founders Backwoods Bastard
a bomber of 2007 Affligem Noël
a bomber of Unibroue La Fin Du Monde


Plus I've got 4 8.5 oz bottles of Corsendonk Christmas Ale left from an earlier beer run. Tonight I plan to drink the Affligem Noël while we do our gift exchange. Tomorrow I think I'll drink a couple of the Corsendonks. And I'll probably squeeze in an Old Rasputin and a FBS somewhere along the way. :tu

I wish you and yours a very lovely Holiday Season.

My local liquor store has Lagavulin on sale and I will be picking up a bottle of that on Saturday for a party that evening. My Scotch collection has developed pretty nicely over the last several months so I will be putting a dent in it. :tu

MacAllan 10 Year Old Fine Oak Single Malt with a great cigar

And to cap it off, a Moserbrau Firepit Porter (a friend's homebrew that is wonderful)

I is a wonderful time of year!

Belgian ale is my preferred drink lately . St.Bernardus Christmas ale , Corsendonk Christmas Ale , Goulden Carolous Noel and probably a few Chimay Premier (red label) . I see a headache or 2 in my future . :D

A lot! :D SN Torpedo Ale and Celebration, and I'm looking high and low for Founders Breakfast Stout. Is that a regional thing? Must have.

It is brewed in Michigan, and available here in Chicago. I am not sure about the West Coast, but I imagine one of the larger stores with a good selection of microbrews might carry it.

It appears from their website that it is not distributed to the west coast.

I totally forgot. I went out to the garage (my winter refrigerator) to get a Hop Whore, and there was a bomber of Southern Tier Krampus (Imperial Helles Lager) in the bag. :chr

Whatever the in-laws have. My BIL might have something good, though. But I will be searching the greater Clermont FL area for my beloved Guatemalan Zaya, if there is any to be had, by chance. Otherwise, I will try to find a good rum of some sort **cough...Zacapa...cough**

Merry Christmas and a Smokey Scotch New Year!

It's on sale for $71 and change. Usually it's just north of $80 around here.

I opened a bottle of Woodford last night to sip on for the next few days and of course Miller Lite will be in the mix...

I got the evil eye from my wife, but I figured what the heck? It's Christmas, and it's breakfast time, so I'm drinking a Founder's Breakfast Stout. :tu

I am about half way through a bottle of The Glenlivet 12 year that my son bought me. Don't think I will finish it tonight, seeing as my wife is at work and I wouldn't want it to go to waste if you know what I mean!

Merry Christmas!!!

Well the Affligem Noel turned out to be a bit of a disappointment. I've moved along to an Old Rasputin, which is hitting the spot nicely.

We had one last night that was really good. I sabered the cork off too! Great texture with a complementing taste. Everyone liked it.

We also had a Cisco Christmas beer that's flavor was overwhelming! Holy moly was that beer over the top. Did not have the body or the Affligem, but still not for the faint of heart.

I'm thinking mine was too old. I'll try it again sometime with a current vintage.
