Celebration sounds good to brew liked your video by the way where you get the Santa drinking beer

'nothing says I love Christmas quite like locking yourself in a room and ignoring the family' absolutely cracked me up :) Thanks for taking the time to draw up nice list, I have my eye on at least 2 of these.

[@TheBeardyManCraftBeers]

Glad you enjoyed the list! 😄 And hey, sometimes a little "me time" is what it takes to get those perfect holiday brews just right! LOL 😉 Which two are you thinking of brewing? Would love to hear how they turn out! 🎄🍻

@@TheBeardyManCraftBeers I like the look of the Celebration IPA-nice, rich and darker IPA for winter. The Great Lakes Xmas ale also looks good, with the honey and ginger combo.

Anchor Brewing Company closed its brewery after 127 years, so thank you for sharing their clone recipe.

[@TheBeardyManCraftBeers]

You're welcome! It’s really sad to see Anchor Brewing close after such a long and iconic history, but their beers have left a lasting legacy in the craft beer world. I'm glad I could share the clone recipe so we can all keep their flavors alive, especially during the holiday season! Cheers to brewing a little piece of their history at home!

Nice list Glen and great video quality as always. I like that you got this video going now so there’s time to brew and age a few of these before the holidays. Going to add the St Bernardus and Anchor clones to the list for the fall. Just made a fresh hop pale ale a few weeks ago as I had to get my homegrown hops off the bine, but I think I’ll save the Celebration recipe for next year. Sending an early “Nollaig shona dhuit” your way from Kansas City!

[@TheBeardyManCraftBeers]

Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching! I’m glad the timing of the video worked out well for you-plenty of time to get those brews going before the holidays. St Bernardus and Anchor are solid choices, definitely some classics for the season! That fresh hop pale ale sounds amazing, and saving the Celebration recipe for next year is a great call-it’ll be worth the wait. Appreciate the early “Nollaig shona dhuit” all the way from Kansas City! Wishing you some fantastic fall brews and an awesome holiday season ahead. Cheers! 🍻

Mmmm, I am thirsty now…

[@TheBeardyManCraftBeers]

Glad to hear it! 🍻 This video should definitely give you some inspiration for your next brew. Which clone are you thinking of trying first?

[@Vardagsmat]

I recently made a decent clone of Arrogant Bastard. Question is, am I worthy? 😀

[@donluidzi8916]

Nooo, don't do that mistake I did it last year and brew only strong beers. U need something session to keep u going or otherwise u will be going drunk to quick 😅

[@TheBeardyManCraftBeers]

That’s a great point! 🍻 It’s definitely a balance-those big, bold holiday beers are delicious but can sneak up on you quickly! A session beer or two can help keep things steady throughout the festivities. What kind of lighter brews would you recommend for holiday sipping? 🎄 Cheers!
