I havn't heard of Sam Adam's "White Christmas" before. What's it like?
I was very impressed with their Oktoberfest.

Gunnar,
I like dark beer as well and always look forward to Sam Adam's Winter Lager. Always so dark, thick & creamy. Been enjoying it for a few wks now. Never heard of White Christmas; I'll look for some.

Hoegarrden. It's year round, but....it will change your life it is a nice Belgian wit that has a very nice tart yeast and plays with a bit of caraco zest and white pepper to keep it interesting.

Magic Hat has a Winter Time Sampler pack that is out right now and absolutely phenomenal. Will be working my through my fourth sampler pack today. Highly recommended.

white Christmas is a unfiltered white ale is blended with holiday spices including cinnamon, nutmeg, & orange peel. It's very crisp and refreshing, the spices really come out in it. I was stunned.

Several of our local micro breweries make great holiday beer. One of my favorites is Fegleys Rude Elf's Reserve, it a spiced Belgian Dark Strong Ale. At 10.5 ABV after a glass or two you feel the warmth of the season! Also like Weyerbrachers Winter Ale and Troegs Mad Elf Ale.

Iv been drinking the pint of Guinness 1759 their limited edition luxury amber beer, it is quite good, still dark dark look but it does taste like an amber, it's rocking a 9.something content and I'm nice a buzzed. its been Sam's winter lager for the majority of today,

have a blessed and merry thanksgiving
