Theirs is a spiced wheat bock, so it's a little unusual. You might try Harpoon's Winter Warmer, Redhook's Winterhook, or Troeg's Mad Elf, which are just Christmas spiced beers. There may be some local examples near you, too, lots of craft breweries are jumping on that style.

I'll look those up.
There is a local Brewery that I'm going to swing by today to see if they are doing anything different for the holidays.

Split a bottle of the Trader Joe's 2011 holiday ale with the wife last night. Good stuff, IMO. Dark ale, loads of Christmasy spice, almost like a gingerbread cookie. We both liked it a lot, and for $4.99/bottle, I think we'll be picking up a bunch more (especially since the store is across the street from us). :)

:hm thanks for the great idea, Mike, I'll be stopping by Trader Joe's on the way home! I'm also sitting on a bottle from either '08 or '09, not sure when I'll be popping that one.

I haven't had the 2008 or 2009, but I liked this year's much more than the 2010. And for $5 you can't lose! :al

Over the Holidays, I had some Chocolate Rain Forest Porter, brewed by our own kaisersozei (Gerard). Paired them with an Esencia lancero, and it was 90 minutes of pure Heaven.
