Ferments Navidad!

Ahh, the holiday season. That period between Black Friday and New Year's where the world just seems more festive. The time of year when the our malls, restaurants, and offices blast Christmas Music, winter weather usually makes its first appearance, and TV networks constantly air a collective torrent of holiday themed movie specials. It's also the time to celebrate The Advent with, yes, an advent calendar. Beginning with the 2014 Holiday Season, we will be enjoying our Decembers while discovering a new beer every day from December 1st through Christmas Day to celebrate the general happiness and generosity of the season (or if you're a Grinch, drowning out the misery of the season). Thanks to our friend Charles Rugg who provided the inspiration for this concept, we will be trying 25 new beers each December and on Christmas, we'll decide which beer was the best. As you would expect, we will be keeping tabs on each beer's score right here. Beers are sorted by year and date and include the usual information. If you have any recommendations for any festive beers we should try (hopefully we haven't already tried them yet), then send us your Holiday Beers!

Merry [whatever holiday(s) you celebrate], and a Happy New Beer!!!
