Does anyone have a really yummy Christmas Beer recipe?
I was thinking along the lines of Tuborg Christmas beer - basically a lager with hints of cloves and cinnamon!
thanks,
David

I did a Yule Ale from a Zymurgy article a dozen years back or so. It's a dark lager with cardemom and a vanilla bean added at the end of the boil. I'm kegging it tomorrow.

Now thats lagering!
Sheesh!
I liked Jolly Rodger, when I lived in Seattle. Pike Place Brewing, I think. Strong stuff. It made for a good work x-mas party, that's for sure. Time to do some digging...


Maritime Pacific, actually.
Came across this, though. I haven't tried it, but it looks pretty solid.
