Anyone have a particular recommendation for a really good Xmas ale. So far this season, I've enjoyed Great Lakes (duh), Thirsty Dog, and Troeggs Mad Elf.

With pretty much any of them, if you drink enough you will acquire a Santa Claus-like physique.
I'd take the SN Celebration over the Anchor. The Celebration is something you can happily drink more than one or two of - it's a nice hoppy front with a good malty back. The Anchor is just - well - tasty but strange. Couldn't drink more than two without hunting down the emergency Tecate stash.
Zywiec is to Polish beer what Budweiser is to American beer!
Try Warka, preferable "Strong". If you like it a little lighter but "hoppier" try Okociem.
Right now I have Mendocino Eye Of The Hawk (an OLD favorite), Sierra Celebration, and Flying Dog K-9 Cruiser in the fridge. I've been in a malty mood lately.
Right now I've got percocets going through me for my broken foot and I've got a gig tonight so NO BEER. However, later on IT'S ON!!! Probably some more Double Bastard Ale. I love that stuff.
It is good...really different kind a beer though. I taste the hops and honey at the beginning and a long tart cherry finish but it is hardly a fruity beer. Alcohol is pretty well masked.
I also like Yuengling lager, especially on tap. It is more common in bars now, and IMO is a much better alternative than most of what is offered in the typical bar. Which means I no longer have to cringe when I ask what beers they have at the bar, haha. At home, however, where I have a choice, I'm going for the really good stuff.
On my bar gig tonight though, as I mentioned a few posts earlier, I get free Spaten Optimator!
Beer o'clock in the office! - Having a New Belgium Blue Paddle Pilsner.
Not quite as good as the real Czech stuff, but pretty darn good.

Oh, man - Eye of the Hawk is a tasty selection!! I've been a fan of that stuff since Mendocino only did it as a limited release in 750ml bottles. It was my #1 favorite for a long time.
