12 Beers of Christmas 2019 Edition

[dawn_kiebawls]

@MapleGroveAleworks - I would like to switch my brew to the Honey Ginger IPA for the West Coast Crew. As stated in your layout, if both groups are not filled I will be more than happy to brew the Abbey Weizen (or anything else!) for the original 12. Let me know if I'm leaving anything out! Thanks again, Cheers!

 

[MapleGroveAleworks]

@Jmarsh544 @dawn_kiebawls you're both in!

And yes I'll put you back on the Abbey Weizen if the groups don't fill @dawn_kiebawls - you're in either way!

TwistedGray can have my group 2 stout if he still wants it... I know he wanted to do that, and I did it in 2018 and don't mind passing the reins.

I'll do the Fruitcake Old Ale instead if that's cool with everyone

Roger Dodger!

@TwistedGray I have your down for the Group 2 Spiced Bourbon Stout. If the Group 2 participants send the OK for some kind of spiced cider or something that's fine by me, but that's up to Group 2.

 

[dawn_kiebawls]

Spiced cider is a-ok with me!

 

[TwistedGray]

I can go either way - stout or cider, so it's whatevs

 

[anotherbeerplease]

I'd personally much rather have a stout than a cider... Not much of a cider guy myself, sorry

I lean towards a stout too.

East Coast

Safron Triple sounds like something I'd like to try.

Got ya!

I'll take the east coast juniper rye bock if it's still open.

I think we've reached a point of critical mass where we will definitely be doing 2 groups this year. I don't want anyone to be left out. So let's get those groups filled up! Feel free to join the group 1 if you're west coast etc, just be reminded shipping will be slightly higher.

All yours! Welcome back!

Because I'm around Chicago and it is a throwback from here, I will take the gingerbread ale.

Can I get in? East coast with the quad, double, or stout... depending on what’s available.

Thank you, looking forward to it!

Take at look at the OP. It shows what is currently available. For group 1 all that is left is the Christmas Gruit and Abbey Weizen.

I thought this thread was gonna get going today. Ha, it’s like a Black Friday sale on this thread. Luckily I can still get one of my top west coast picks. I Am Gruit!(spoiler)

All yours! And sorry I do think I started it a day early.

Ok. Here's my two cents, and I know it's kind of a dick move. It seems to me that lots of people want to take part in this activity. I don't know that it's fair to the group that anyone who signed up last year for a recipe but then didn't actually ship beers should get first dibs at signing up for 2019. I was really looking forward to getting 12 different types of beers this year.

Seems like there should be a penalty of some kind. Maybe it's a year's suspension from signing up or maybe they have to wait to see if there is a beer that nobody else signs up to make. Anyway, that's my two cents, but I'll go along with whatever the majority thinks, or whatever @MapleGroveAleworks thinks since MapleGrove is taking on the responsibility of organizing for 2019.

Understood and totally agree. I withdraw my request. I'll follow along just to keep track of all the fun you all are having brewing these amazing beers.

Ok thought we would have a little more time. Looked in and this forum was lit up.

I’ll take the Abbey Weizen, but still will likely be brewing the quad for personal consumption. [emoji482]

I would like to do the Crabapple Lambicky for the West Coast.
I participated in 2016 and successfully sent all my beers!
