@yoop89 I was check into homebrewtalk this morning to see what was up with the 2021 Beers of Christmas share since I didn't participate this year. It was a nice surprise to see this comment about my old ale. I haven't opened one since last year, but plan to crack one open later today. Happy...

@RPh_Guy, I popped one of these after work today to do something other than watch the very sad news of rioting in Washington. Good decision. Your cranberry lambic is very tasty and well balanced. I can't say I got a lot of cranberry flavor, but I don't mean that as a knock. This was a good beer...

I have no idea what the modern process is but would be curious to hear more. I guess maybe I’ll try one bottle soon and leave the others to age a bit. Good to know about the cranberries. I’ve been wanting to try them in something.

@RPh_Guy, I received your beers today. Thanks! Looking at the label it indicates this lambic was brewed and bottled this month with 7 days in between. Is that right? I ask because I'm worried about bottle bombs on a beer so young with souring bacteria and brett.

@jerbrew, “where did you hide the 10.8% abv in your Caramel Quad?” was my first thought on tasting your beer. I was expecting to perceive the alcohol more but not the case here. About half way through the glass I felt a buzz and was like, “Oh, there’s the alcohol.” What a wonderful beer. For me...

No complaints here. Seems like this beer is fully made in the spirit of the 12 Beers of Xmas exchange to me.

@grampamark, nice job with the spices on this Spiced Dunkel Weizenbock. So delicate in the nose and in the taste. There's a pleasant hint of star anise in the aroma for me with the other spices playing a supporting role. Hop bitterness is very low as expected. Well carbed but not overly so. The...

@grampamark received the Weizenbock on Sunday. Resting and cooling before I crack into one. Thanks!

Agreed on the abv. It really does sneak up!

Received my Quad in a Sunday delivery. Really nicely boxed. In the fridge cooling down for a few days.

@yoop89, Your Gruit is wonderful. I decided to have it Saturday afternoon while making cherry mash candy with my daughter. Very nice afternoon beverage. Really like the herbal spice aroma and the subtle, “just there” bitter backbone. Nice dry finish encouraged me to take the next sip and the...

I think I’ll start to crack open some 2020 West Coast Xmas beers this weekend. I’ve received these three: @Ultryx Gingerbread Ale @JAReeves Honey Ginger IPA @yoop89 Christmas Gruit Still waiting in these: @RPh_Guy Crabapple Lambicky Ale @jerbrew Caramel Quadruple @grampamark Spiced Dunkel...

That is really nice to hear. Glad you enjoy it!

here’s a photo per your request.

Got my Gingerbread Ale too!

Yeah, I’m pretty bummed by all the West Coast drop outs. Worst year yet since I’ve been participating. I know some people have real life problems that change what they can do, and I empathize, but still feeling disappointed.

@JAReeves received your honey ginger IPA yesterday. Letting the bottles rest a few days in the fridge before cracking one open. Hard to wait.

The West Coast Old Ale was dropped at FedEx today. Here is some background on this beer. This old ale is a blend. I originally made the Radical Brewing old ale with fruit and spices, but I found the spice too strong and the dried fruit flavor not what I expected. So, I brewed a second batch...

I brewed a 5 gallons batch on March 17, 2019, bottled May 27, 2019, then put the cases in the basement, and forgot about them until Thanksgiving 2020. So that's about 1.5 years of bottle aging. I cooled down a bottle the day before and poured it on Thanksgiving. OMG, it was really enjoyable...
