If you are looking for your Christmas beer fix, get over to Wine House as soon as possible, their Belgians are selling like hot cakes.
Pictured below: Affligem Noel, Val-Dieu Winter, De La Senne Equinox, Slapmutske Kerstmutske, Kerkom Winterkoninkske, Scaldis Noel, La Choulette De Noel.
I picked up some Equinox and La Choulette, but I’ve heard the Kerstmutske is really fantastic this year.
Speaking of really fantastic this year, Wine House received a very limited shipment of Scandinavian beers from Danish micro superstar Mikkeller. Their Santa’s Little Helper sold out in two days, and only a few bottles of Mikkeller To/From were left on the shelf. They’ve still got a good amount of Nogne-O’s Winter Ale if you’re looking for some nutty, chocolatey Norwegian beer. Good luck getting ahold of Jolly Pumpkin’s Noel de Calabaza, there might be a bottle or two left.
They’ve got a good collection of the Ridgeway Christmas beers, Bad Elf, Santa’s Butt, and Warm Welcome. Brittany, the House beer expert, told me she is especially fond of Hook Norton’s Twelve Days.
Rounding out their selection are some great domestics like Deschutes Jubilale and of course the Anchor Christmas Magnums priced at $14.99.
I promise you will go home happy.
