What homebrew are you serving for Christmas?

[Scooby_Brew]

What homebrew are you serving for Christmas? This Christmas I decided to serve to my friends and family these three beers:

1. Nut Brown Ale - surprisingly enough this beer is a hit with the non-beer drinking crowd, including my 84 years old grandma

2. American Wit - this is my cross-over recipe, sort of in-between Blue Moon and APA. Popular with what I call the "hip yuppies".

3. My House Ale, mainly for me, I like it with food and just for "hanging out".

 

[JMSetzler]

I have chocolate oatmeal stout, a hefeweizen, and a blonde ale...

 

[flyingdogwine]

Wont be drinking, do not want mother in law to bitch.

 

[humann_brewing]

I have to take beer on the road. No activities at my house except maybe a new years day pajama party or something.

I will be bottling up some of my Christmas beer, which is basically a IIPA but with winter tastiness, some brown ale, porter, Pliny clone, wit, RIS and whatever else I have laying around. I want a good selection on hand for whatever sounds good. I may even toss some commercial bottles in, I have some SN Celebration and Anchor Christmas ale

 

[A4J]

I have blonde ale, brown ale, and red ale on tap.

I just came back from my Moms where we did a early Christmas this year. I think I had 1 beer the whole 6 days and that was with my brother, needed to have some man time at the bar but was tired and only had 1.

 

[Headcase]

I'll be serving American Cream Ale, Peach Wheat, and a Porter. I can't wait!

 

[cyberbackpacker]

Tapping the keg of Irish Red tomorrow night!

 

[IrregularPulse]

Taking a bottle of Delirium Noel to Parents for Christmas night. WIll most likely take a 1/2G growler of Simcoe Blonde as well. Then Simcoe Blonde and Mild on tap for New Years Party.

 

[Revvy]

I wont know til tomorrow night if the beer I intend to bring to X-mas will be carbed or conditioned in time. If it's not it'll be a no-go. If it is, I'm bringing Mojave Read, and a SMa2h (Single malt and 2 hop) Ipa made with Marris Otter and cascade and centennial.

 

[Weezknight]

I was going to serve my Winter Porter for Christmas eve, but it's looking like it may be better served on New Year's.

I'll probably just take some non-homebrew to my Christmas Eve celebration, since my brother and I try to outdo each other with fancy/expensive beer! Christmas day is at my in-laws and my BIL is a friend of Bill W., so it's always dry there.

Looking forward to New Year's, though, since over the Summer my friends loved my Irish Red, so I think they'll like the Porter.

 

[jlpred55]

I will have everything in my sig on hand. I have 3 Christmas celebrations at my house this coming weekend, so I am guessing there will be significant damage done to some of those.

I will be bringing over a couple beers to my family's place this year. A bunch of my american amber, figured that would be good for the not so snobby beer drinkers. And my hazelnut porter for the rest of us. It didn;t turn out with as much hezelnut flavor as I was hoping for (I used one bottle from Austin Home brew), but its smooth as hell with good flavor and body AND clocks in at 10.4%abv. It was sure hard to age it for the last 4 months or so, but patience really pays sometimes.

 

[Oscbert]

Chocolate Porter, my second brewed beer. It turned out excellent! Can't wait for my dad and bother in law to try it.

 

[Revvy]

It appears the Mojave Red will be brought out on X-mas day....the "test" bottle is carbed up nicely, and has a good head and lacing.

Now we try the IPA.....

 

[Revvy]

Well, the IPA's a little "Harsh" needs some time to mellow. It's fine for me, but even though my family are great fans of good beer and wine (since my nephew makes wine and I brew) I don't think any of them are great fans of IPAs. So I may bring more reds, and maybe only bring 1-2 Ipas.

 

[mysterio]

Bringing up a keg of my Czech Pils

 

[Newbeerguy]

More than likely I will be bringing...

Apfelwein and my House Pale Ale. Both have been huge hits thus far and I cannot wait to serve them to my family that haven't had the oppertunity to try them yet

 

[Cheeto]

I plan on bringing a liter of something, to tide me over because the in-laws drink lots of red wine.

 

[UnderThePorchBrewing]

Clark Kent Pale Mild, Black Pearl Porter, Cheap Malty Porter, "Light" Irish Red ("light" due to real low efficiency 50% for my first all grain), Port wine, German Mueller Thurgau white wine, Home made egg nog, plus a couple of commercial beers

We are having 7 over for Christmas eve, 15 for dinner Christmas day then add 5 more for dessert and drinks,and scattered thru the weekend several visitations and a few people staying over. hopefully I have enough

 

[Pivot]

Chocolate Porter, my second brewed beer. It turned out excellent! Can't wait for my dad and bother in law to try it.

Why do I have the feeling this wasn't a typo. haha

Im giving a few bottles of eds apfelwein to my folks. came home on a plane so i was limited in what i could bring.

 

[Myke_J]

Homebrew
Imperial Nut Brown- Most people keep thinking it's a Winter Warmer so I just rename it.
AA IPA- Should be carbed up soon, can't wait to taste it.
Witty Witbier- Kind of a summer beer I was trying out. Came out pretty good, but not really getting to much love this time of year.

Commercial
21st Amendment Monk's Blood
DH/SN Life & Limb
Criminally Bad Elf
Dogfish Head World Wide Stout

 

[bob1852]

Let's see; here's what I brought with me to Colorado for Christmas:

Brown Ale, Amber Ale, IPA, Graff, White-Grape Raspberry Wine, Blackberry Wine, Show Mead, Grape Mead, Orange Mead, Raspberry Mead

 

[NYCBrewGuy]

Just having a small dinner with 4 people, two of whom are non-beer drinkers. Definitely will kick back with a few bottles of Chocolate Stout and probably the first taste of Mexican Hot Chocolate Stout as well. As for commercial brews I'll be drinking Troegs Mad Elf.

 

[BenS]

Mint Chocolate Stout, House Red Ale, DFH 60 min clone, Pumpkin ale. 12 pack of each should do it for my family for the week that I'm home.

 

[azscoob]

I only have 2 beers on tap for christmas, a chocolate mint milk stout and my pale ale, the stout has become my favorite dessert as of late, I just drop a scoop of homemade french vanilla icecream into a pint glass and top with the stout, this icecream float will be on the christmas menu for sure!!

I was *SO* just going to start the same thread. Good thing I looked first.

I have some of the following:

1 - The Last 2 750ML bottles of Witbeerish stuff, extract that I made in Oct, goes over well with the BMC crowd

2 - Some Scottish ale, real high alcohol and tastes a bit like Mcewans, was extract batch

3 - Bock - All grain from a kit, super tasty one almost out - for the non-hophead folk

4 - American IPA called "Hanky Panky India Pale Ale"- Way to bitter for most folk so this is likely just for me.

5 - American Pale Ale - Malty Malty

6 - And some homemade blackberry wine (from scratch), and some Strawberry wine from a kit.

Probably more booze than is needed, but you never know if someone will like one or two they will be able to do some beer adventuring with me.

 

[Buildmark]

Probably more booze than is needed

you can never have too much.

We are having vanilla caramel cream ale and honey wheat ale along with wines and meads.
