So looking at my calendar, I see that Christmas is slowly creeping up, and as I do the math, I realize that for Best Holiday Beer Results(tm), I should think about getting something in my fermenter NOW for peak drinking over the Holidays. I may even be a little late, come to think of it.
I tend to buy my stuff from AHS (nothing wrong with the other companies, but AHS has always treated me right, and has earned my business over time), and was looking through their holiday ales. In general, I like ALL kinds of beer provided they are well brewed, so anything works. What experiences have y'all had with some of the AHS holiday ales, like "AHS Winter Wonder Warmer", or, something I'm leaning toward, "AHS Chocolate Orange Holiday Ale"? Any good? One other thing... I don't have very good temperature control, so this will ferment at 73F or so. Any other seasonals you would recommend for the hols? I'd be doing extract, if that makes any difference. SWMBO is also pretty easy going on taste, though does lean toward belgian beers.
Thanks in advance. So... not so much "what do I brew next?" as "what's your experience with Holiday beers in the 73F brewing range?"
