what beer goes on your christmas table?
This year, I'm plonking down a bottle of La Chouffe...or I may even consider Sam Adams Tripel. I know these are big beers, but I cook my turkeys with a shit load of butter. It ends up being a pretty rich meal, and I think the big beers would be just right. I may even throw some Quebec blue cheese into my mashed potatoes just for the hells.
What I would like? A really nice US-style brown ale in a bomber. Guess I'm going to have just get good at brewing for next year.
OOh, I just thought of Night Marzen - those bottles might be good too. Not terribly seasonally appropriate though.

The table will likely be graced with wine, but afterwards by the fire we'll be sipping Kathy's Fetish, my latest homebrew imperial stout. It's been patiently conditioning since the summer. Hopefully it will be well rounded by then.
Commercial recommendations would depend on food pairing, but with so many seasonal brews aimed at the cold weather, I would suggest having a wide selection on hand. Half the spirit of a celebration is to share lot's of treats.
BTW - Night Marzen appears to be sold out in the places I was finding it. Too bad, because I think it would make a great choice.

Oh yeah and aged Duvel bottles, 750ml. Time to hit the beer cellar 'reserve stock.' I will clear out the aged Koningshoeven and St. Bernardus, a few rare Stouts and Porters lurking back there, almost forgot the Stone anniversary too.
