So SWMBO and I recently found out we have a little one on the way (our first). The due date is Christmas Day, giving me a little time to plan a special beer for the occasion. I want to brew something and give bottles out to people instead of cigars.
My problem is I have no idea what to aim for. Given the time of year that he/she will be born, I want to brew something appropriate for the season. Should I go with something malty like a bock, porter, or stout? A Belgian? A Holiday spice/Winter Warmer? Or should I go with a hoppy beer, along the lines of Sierra Nevada Celebration?
I really want to figure this out now, so I can have something ready to brew in August/September, giving the beer time to age if needed.
Any recommendations?
