Christmas Ales

I know the war, the economy, the church, Tom DeLayed, the church, etc. and here I am spouting off on Christmas Ales. But sometimes it’s nice to be concerned with something you can hold in your hand. I have to say this year they are superb. The McGritty’s is outstanding and has a great label. Wachusetts whose stuff seldom excites me is excellent. This year Anchor Stream is as good as it has ever been. I am holding some from the last few years and am anxious to see how they have held up. I’ve had about seven and look forward to the next twenty. And of course this is a short season but up next Barley Wine.
