Do you like Christmas beers?

[purplepoppy]

Christmas beers are beers with a Christmassy taste like plum pudding or mince pie. They're usually produced by smaller breweries only for the holiday season.

After Christmas, you'll find a lot of them in the "reduced to clear" isle, which suggests they have limited appeal. But I prefer them over traditional beers.

Thoughts?

No, they're generally not my kind of thing. The closest I'll come to drinking something "festive" for the holidays is an alcoholic cranberry/apple cider, or some other fruit cider like raspberry or cherry. Like these...

Yes, I do like Christmass beer, at least if they're really beer... I like very much beer in general, more often the Trappist kind, but don't know any of those your showing in the pictures. Here in Belgium, beer is nearly a religion ;0) and some well known breweries do indeed produce a Christmass edition, often a variant of their strong versions.

I've never had beer before. But flavored beer sounds delicious. I've heard regular beer just tastes bitter, and not as great. 🍺

[Adventurer23]

There are MANY different kinds of beer with different tastes. Some are bitter, other's aren't. I prefer bitter beers made with more hops, but I know some people don't like them. But brewed fruit beers and ciders (like in my post) are something you might want to eventually check out if you want to give it a try. They can be really delicious and refreshing. 🙂

@Adventurer23 I saw some spiked ciders before that seemed to be different flavors. But I didn't get them because they were in packs and expensive. I forget if this one was cider or not, but it was an alcoholic drink that was suppose to taste like toast & jam (I'd definitely try that, we all know I would).

[Adventurer23]

@PBandJ_Nerd There's also peanut butter-flavoured whiskey too, so in theory you could make a PB&J mixer! 😂

[PBandJ_Nerd]

@Adventurer23 Yeah. Alcoholic pb&j drink with whipped cream.

Beer isn't Christmas drink here. Most alcoholics and alcoholic aspirants drink high percentage spirits at Christmas time.

No just kopperbergs or tequila rose the thing is I don't drink tequila rose as shots I put it in a small glass with ice and drink it

[RedInnocent68]

I’m kind of surprised and very happy at the same time by this revelation! 😮😀

[Jennz6]

@RedInnocent68 I used to drink but it was never beer 🍺

[RedInnocent68]

Let me guess, whiskey girl? When/why did you stop?

[In_Trance]

These are really cool

[DJB72]

I'll stick to home made cider

Skip all the extra flavors and give me a Heineken
