So I know it's July but being a homebrewer involves looking ahead. . . Christmas in July sounds like a good time to brew some Christmas ale so it will be good and tasty come the holiday season. At any rate here is my attempt at a clone of the famous great lakes Christmas ale. Advice, recommendations, and constructive criticism welcome, "that stuff is nasty" comments not.
