How can you include a Sam Adam’s special 12pack as one of yor top ten Christmas beers unless your getting a kick back for the article. McEwan’s IPA is not a seasonal nor is Paulaner Salvator Double Bock for that fact. Where are you getting your information? You are showing your true lack of craft beer knowledge. How can you write articles about beer and feel like an expert. You are doing the industry more harm than support. How about this top ten list for Christmas beers. Stop and think a moment, the annual list of Christmas beers is so good that you should not number them in any order. So here is my list, in NO specific order, of great Christmas beers to enjoy this year!

And, don’t forget Cleveland’s Great Lakes Brewing Company’s Christmas Ale. It’s regional, but it’s yummy.

Thanks, Sandy! Great Lakes isn’t distributed in my area so I haven’t had it. But with two gold medals it can’t be too shabby!
