Mrs. Swede and I are escaping to Fort Collins this weekend to take a biking tour of the breweries. :)

Went to Total Wine with my Dad to refill the beer supply:

Looking for recommendations on a nice christmas ale that I can clone for a holiday party. Recommendations?

Bell's, if you can get your hands on some. First Snow Ale by RJ Rockers is good, too, but not exactly "Christmas Ale". Great Lakes Christmas Ale gets high marks, and I've tried it, but was not totally impressed. I have not tried the Breckenridge Brewery's Christmas Ale, but I have enjoyed their Vanilla Porter, so I would be inclined to give their version a shot.

Not sure it can be classified as a Christmas ale, but I used to be fond of Noche Buena in the winter-time. It's more of a brown bock-style lager, but easy on the palate.

Had this at their brewery last weekend. ^^^^

How did milk get in your beer fridge??? :D

LOL. :D Also, that Sisters of the Moon being out of place is playing hell with my OCD. ;)

Haha this is the garage in the outside fridge which also contains backup stuff like milk and cold cuts bought in bulk that aren't ready to come into the kitchen yet.

The fridge is annoyingly too shallow for a full line of 6 bottles per row :(

Just picked up some Hop Trip by Deschutes and Juniper Pale Ale by Rogue. My 2 all-time favorite beers!
