Not many Christmas beers in the UK at the mo. I've only found 3.

Rosey Nosey is the best, it's a subtle kind of Christmas flavour behind an ale.
White Christmas just tastes like you've put an orange in a blonde lager.
The Northern Monk one isn't bad, but it's just too sweet, even for a porter.
 
I've tried a few of those christmas style ales, the Britbong ones and some craftbreweries, always found them absolutely disgusting after a few sips, too cloying, might be better suited paired with food than quaffing in a session?

May as well just get a good Belgian Quad.
 
My favorites so far:

Warsteiner Premium for light, Dreher Bak for dark, Staropramen for unfiltered, Dreher for red, Erdinger for wheat.

lol yea can make them into that but said round was given to me by a friend and literally it was shot at ISIS so kinda based.

Makarovs are also great bottle openers. Yes Russia made a gun that opens beer well. Because, well... why not?

I spent a little more than I wanted to but I just HAD to have, Merry Monkey, by victory Golden monkey is yummy AF and hits like train and I would put on my top 5 Sour monkey but a christmas one? SOLD. I will report back.... or if it's that good, you'll get a 7 page rant on how much I hate black people women and why Darth Vader is cool and how I'd like to build a sail boat.

If I do that, assume it's a 10/10 beer.

Jokes aside, Monkey series by Victory brewing is a triple, and very smooth with a 9.x ABV while being quite reasonable priced. I in my area can cop a 19 oz monkey for 3.50. They are very nice, and I'm super amped to try the Xmas flavor while, I'm not a huge seasonal guy I do really oddly like Xmas spice done well and so far almost all brewers have let me down. Even though most have a real high ABV so even if the beer was boring, I didn't care since the room spun.
 
Nattie Ice is pretty okay.
also regarding Victoria, I tried a 12 pack a while back when they were sponsoring lucha shit, seemed okay "better than supercheap" beer but unremarkable, but second to muh Beer-fu Corona Familiar Fat Bottle
 
Currently drinking a tinny of 'Hot Fuzz'. A Raspberry Cream Doughnut Pale Ale.

It's actually pretty accurate to the taste of a doughnut.
 
Estrella Damm has become my favourite lager. Light, crisp, tasty; I could drink it all day.

Sipping on a Hoegaarden currently. Have a small cellar stocked for the winter - some Sam Adams Winter mix pack, Espresso Stout, Founders Velvet Rush, Leffe Brown, and some Ommegang Solera. Comfy.

I'm not a big beer person but I love hoegaarden and blue moon and other white/wheat beers. Also lambics
 
I decided on a lark to try Budweiser because it was cheap and you can get a lot of it.

I always assumed it must be complete garbage but imagine my surprise that... I like it? I like it a lot actually.

What am I missing? Granted it's not very strong alcohol wise, but it tastes good, I was assuming it had to taste bad, it's a perfectly fine beer to just sip on.

Now I'm not saying there's anything wrong with stronger tasting beers or whatever, I'm just saying Budweiser is not bad, does it have a negative reputation because it's simply such a massive brand? Seems worth it given the price.

I don't like it because it's like sex in a canoe.

The marketing department at AB also have delusions of grandeur.

It's because beer spergs are the most pretentious twats to exist. Budweiser is a good 'summer beer'. When you'll be sweating it out as fast as you take it in. Mowing the lawn? Working on a car? A lager is light enough so you won't feel like throwing up and also refreshing.

Though I prefer other lagers to it, it's got its place.
